Katherine
Varley joined the Digital Solutions program in April 2020 with her small
business PrepareMe—an app that supports individuals, as well as their families,
medical clinicians and carers during the rehabilitation journey following an
accident, injury or disability.
“Joining the program was the BEST decision, especially as we were starting to face uncertain times with the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Katherine is an entrepreneur with a disability, having personally recovered from an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). The experience showed her how difficult the recovery process can be, with communication often lacking between health care providers and patients.
In response, she developed PrepareMe to help other patients manage their personal recovery and help them achieve their individual goals.
PrepareMe was developed with the support of Guide Dogs Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission, and Barwon Health. With the additional support of the Digital Solutions program, Katherine says the app is ready to launch in November.
