From Fontan to Founder: Olivia Burns Founder of Hypoplas is transforming her patient experience into patient-wear

Few people will have a Founder's story like Olivia's.  Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome Olivia was part of the early patient cohort to progress from Norwood through to Fontan under the care of Birmingham Children's Hospital.   After experiencing first-hand the inadequacies of the existing hospital gowns she has set about redesigning patient-wear with patients in mind.  Revising everything from comfort to clinician access to carbon cycle impact, Olivia has built her company Hypoplas to provide patient-wear that works for the twenty-first century.
