This was an interview with Theratrak founder Laura Simmons, published 5 March 2026, in the lead-up to International Women’s Day (8 March 2026).
This short interview with Laura highlights a problem therapists and families know well: therapy outcomes don’t happen only in-session - progress depends on what happens in the days (and weeks) between appointments.
The article also spotlights Laura’s founder story in honour of International Women’s Day, showing how allied health insight can lead to practical digital innovation that supports clinicians, families, and therapy outcomes.
In the ACS article for IWD, Laura discusses:
Why progress can stall when therapy support doesn’t happen between sessions
Why Laura created Theratrak after noticing home program adherence challenges
What Theratrak is and who it supports across allied health
How Theratrak helps therapists send therapy activities home and reduce admin load.
The benefits and realities of running a health-tech startup from home with a remote team
The tools Laura relies on to run Theratrak WFH with a remote team
Laura’s advice to other female founders about the long game and staying energised
