Theratrak Research Partners:

Theratrak’s collaboration with 12 Points Psychology introduced psycho-educational content through Theratrak to manage waitlists effectively while enhancing mental wellbeing among participants.

• Aim:

  To support overwhelmed clinicians and participants needing mental health support

• Results:

  Participants were able to complete the course at their own pace and the overseeing psychologist would monitor their programs and send out each module according to their progress.

• Key Finding:

  • A noticeable improvement in mental wellbeing for all participants.

  • 100% of the people who completed the pilot program showed a reduction in quantitative measures of psychological distress and t-tests showed this was a statistically significant reduction.

In Supporting our waitlists! Innovating therapy home practice using digital technology solutions, Theratrak Founder Laura Simmons joined Thrive Group Director Annie Seccull

Aim:

The research aims to leverage Theratrak to provide asynchronous care to some of the +250 families on the Thrive Group waitlist within the early intervention age group (under 7 years) based on current occupational therapy models.

Results: For participants, families and clinicians:

• Parents reported regularly accessing and completing programs but also forgetting to tick off the activities. This impacted the validity of the overall completion data.

• Qualitative data showed improvement in children under the age of 7’s underlying skills that occupational therapists focus on.

• Overall, average Program feedback for participants varied between +1 and +3 in relation to parent satisfaction, confidence, performance and assistance. 

• Therapists reported increased job satisfaction when using Theratrak. They reported that the digital platform saves them large amounts of time administratively as they can send a home program in a couple of minutes, their notes are completed and saved synchronously and they felt it increased their clients' engagement in participation in therapy activities at home.

Key Finding:

Using digital tools can improve service delivery and fostered greater satisfaction among families and therapists.

Research Summary: Supporting Waitlists

In Data-driven therapy home programs: Quantitative Evaluation of a digital home-programming tool, Theratrak Founder Laura Simmons joined Western Sydney University School of Health Sciences academics Dr Caroline Mills, Dr Kaniz Fatema, Dr Paul Fahey, and Professor Karen Liu.

Aim:

The research aims to describe Theratrak use as captured by the Theratrak program and describe the service provision delivered by Theratrak.

Results:

• 88% of Theratrak users received a home program within 7 days

• 72% of users recieved a home program on the same day

• Mobile app usage can serve as a therapy adjunct and help overcome wait times for therapy services

• The most popular activities to be prescribed on Theratrak so far have been around sensory regulation, core strength and gross motor skills

Key Finding:

Theratrak plays a significant role in delivering timely therapy services, highlighting the potential for future app enhancements.

Research Summary: Digital Home Programming

There are two key academics and healthcare professionals leading this initiative at ATSU: Sue Dahl-Popolizio - Director of Research and Associate Professor at ATSU's Occupational Therapy Program and Abbey Glenn - OTD, OTR/L, CBIS, Assistant Professor and Doctoral Capstone Coordinator at ATSU. With a shared commitment to enhancing care through technology, this research promises to deliver valuable insights into the efficacy of digital tools in therapy, potentially transforming practices and improving patient outcomes on a broad scale.

The Theratrak and ATSU research partnership will focus on two key research projects:

• Longitudinal Study at a Pro Bono Clinic
  This 12-month study will utilise Theratrak in a pro-bono clinic setting, offering a unique opportunity to assess the platform's impact on therapy outcomes in real-world conditions.

• Capstone Project
  Aimed at delving deeper into the capabilities of Theratrak, this project will explore its potential to revolutionise therapy practices and outcomes, providing a deeper understanding of how digital tools can enhance the field of occupational therapy.
