A trained occupational therapist, Meg Faure has built a career that combines clinical practice with entrepreneurship. Her initiatives sit at the intersection of child health and digital solutions for parents.

A South African entrepreneur and occupational therapist, Meg Faure has built a career at the intersection of child health and digital solutions for parents. With more than two decades of experience in the field, she is the director of Parent Sense, an application she launched to guide parents through the first months of a child’s life.

Created in 2020, Parent Sense is based on clinical data and research. The app provides individualized tracking for several aspects of a baby’s development, including sleep, feeding, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. Its recommendations are adapted to each child’s evolution with flexible routines that account for a family’s pace. The app also includes interactive tools to monitor key health parameters, aiming to give parents concrete guidance to organize daily life and reduce the uncertainties of early parenthood.

Parent Sense is the latest in a series of ventures for Faure. She is also the director of Play Sense, which she founded in 2016 to develop play-based educational programs for children ages two to five. Before that, she created Baby Sense in 2004, a company specializing in products and services for new parents that she led until 2014.

Faure graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy. Her professional career began in 1994, working as an occupational therapist at both Blythedale Children’s Hospital and Kerry L. Wallace, a medical practice in South Africa.
