Teleatherapy is a digital platform for speech and language therapists to connect with their patients. The Cork city-based business was founded by Clare Meskill and Dave Calnan in 2020 and currently has six staff.

“Traditionally therapists sent out sheets of paper to clients. Now that is being replaced with an app on their phone. It enables therapists to monitor clients remotely, see how they are getting on and reduce the need for in-person appointments and home visits,” Meskill told Connected.
