In plain language
This House resolution honors Jasmine Stamper, a Health Science student at Spelman College who co-founded Telepsy in 2022 with two classmates. Telepsy is an app designed to help people with epilepsy manage the condition, offering features like locating nearby hospitals, appointment reminders, a seizure timer, and quick access to 911. The resolution recounts awards Stamper has received, including the 2024-2025 President's Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2023 Congressional App Challenge win. It does not change any Georgia law; it simply has the House of Representatives formally recognize and commend her, and directs the Clerk of the House to send her a copy of the resolution.
