Hosted by Jo Muirhead, The Entrepreneurial Clinician is a podcast for allied health professionals and private practice owners who are building sustainable, profitable businesses without burning out.
This podcast interview with Theratrak Founder & Occupational Therapist Laura Simmons explores why “what happens between sessions” is often the real driver of outcomes, and what changes when clinicians build better systems to support real-life follow-through.
Listen to the podcast to learn more about:
Why therapy “homework” so often falls apart in real life.
The gap between sessions and everyday implementation.
How allied health professionals are natural problem solvers (and why that matters for innovation).
OT skills that transfer into tech, UX, and healthcare innovation.
The future of asynchronous and digitally supported care.
Startup realities: risk, sustainability, and building without knowing how to code.
Co-design, user experience, and listening deeply to clients and families.
This episode makes a simple point that clinicians and families live every week: therapy doesn’t succeed on good intentions alone - it succeeds when support is designed for real life between appointments.
It also reframes innovation as a clinician-led opportunity: not “tech replacing people,” but clinicians shaping better systems for continuity, communication, and follow-through.
