    The Audacious Student Empowering Women - Startup Dunedin Podcast #011

    Tenisha was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at just seventeen years old. She was told that she was probably going to be miserable, struggle to get pregnant and should lose some weight if she wanted to get close to living a happy, normal life.

    A couple of years later, Tenisha had the opportunity to complete a project as part of her qualification. She doubled down on this by joining Audacious and creating PCOS Fit. A health programme specifically for women with PCOS.

After a little digging, Toby and Dre discovered that ACC was spending approximately $48 million on re-injury claims each year.

    There had to be a better way.

    Toby and Dre won Best Business Case at Audacious Semester One 2019. They have developed a concept to increase patient adherence to exercise prescriptions. They joined Angus on the podcast to discuss their journey so far.
