In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing Ariel Hibbert, described as a Biology Pre-Health student focused on medicine and patient advocacy. It highlights her 2022 co-founding of Telepsy, an app that helps people with epilepsy by locating nearby hospitals, sending appointment reminders, timing seizures, and connecting to emergency services. The resolution also notes her scholarships and awards, including the 2024-2025 President's Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2023 Congressional App Challenge win, and a 2022 HOSA International Leadership Conference first-place medical innovation prize. It does not change any Georgia law; it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for Hibbert as a keepsake.
