So, Who’s Behind It?
If you’ve been on our site long enough, you’ve probably seen us call Dr. Laura Purdy the OG of digital healthcare. And we stand by that—because when it comes to telemedicine, virtual clinics, and making healthcare actually work for people, she’s been ahead of the curve for years.
Dr. Laura Purdy is a board-certified family medicine physician, military veteran, and nationally recognized telehealth leader. She’s been called the “nation’s doctor” for her work in expanding access to digital healthcare, and she’s helped shape the future of virtual medicine as both a practitioner and an industry disruptor.
A Quick Timeline of Dr. Purdy’s Hustle:
- Served 14 years as a U.S. Army physician, mastering medicine in high-pressure environments.
- Pioneered telehealth before it was mainstream, treating patients across all 50 states.
- Helped scale and launch multiple digital health companies, proving virtual care isn’t just possible—it’s the future.
- Built JellyMed to bridge the gap between festival culture and real-time healthcare, because let’s be real—staying safe and having a good time should go hand in hand.
She saw the flaws in the system—the outdated rules, the red tape, the lack of fast, accessible care when people need it most. Instead of waiting for someone else to fix it, she created JellyMed to do it herself.
Because healthcare should move as fast as you do—and now it does. No cap, just care.
