Gheorg Feature: Supporting kids with home therapy programs created by Occupational Therapist, Laura Simmons

 Gheorg and Theratrak have been through a lot together.

Theratrak participated in the SheStarts accelerator in 2018 and Gheorg participated in 2019.

After meeting, the two founders and decided to team up to share tactics with Gheorg’s ‘breathing exercise’ making a guest appearance in the update to the Theratrak app! 

Read the Q&A with Laura from the Gheorg blog.

Excerpt from the Q&A:


How does Theratrak support kids and families?

Theratrak is a digital platform that enables allied health therapists to prescribe and then track custom therapy home programs for children and families accessing early intervention supports.

For Therapists 

Therapists use Theratrak as a tool in sessions to capture and digitise meaningful information from therapy sessions. These could be photos or videos of the child completing the activity and then therapists send these activities via our secure platform to the parent so parents can easily keep track of what activities their child should be doing at home.

Theratrak currently has around 200 preloaded paediatric occupational therapy activities, however as OT crosses so many blurred lines with other therapies, we have emotional regulation, social skills and motor skills on the platform already as well. 

What is really unique about Theratrak is that it can also be customised by therapists using the platform. This means Theratrak can be used for niche therapies or it can fit any allied health professional regardless of their discipline.

For Parents

Parents use our mobile app at home. Parents receive gentle reminders throughout the week to support their kids to stay on track by ticking off activities as they complete them. The app helps parents keep track of their child’s exercises and their progress, and their therapists are aware of how much practice kids are able to do at home. This clarity supports the clinician to make the best decisions for treatment. It also saves clinicians a lot of time so they can focus on getting the most out of the session rather than recapping how much at home activities were done.
