Ep. 56 Danny Hui Interview - Connecting Care Teams In The Disability Sector

Navigating the disability sector is challenging at the best of times but having a care team that is connected and on the same page is giving families and allied health providers the ‘confidence to thrive’. Danny Hui, Founding Director of sameview, a digital platform designed to help address the problem of disability care coordination. The app works by bringing the care team together - doctors, care workers, therapists, educators, family members etc. Using the app, users and providers can track and share goals and events and keep the team up-to-date to enable effective collaboration. Prior to starting the business, Danny worked in the utilities industry and has a background in engineering. The idea for the app came from his own experience with the stresses of managing a loved one’s care. Last time we spoke, Danny was in the middle of an accelerator program with Optus, which he ended up winning. Fast forward 10 months and the app has officially been launched, with many users and allied health professionals enjoying its benefits.
