About

Parrot.MD simplifies healthcare staffing by leveraging technology to connect hospitals directly to clinicians for short-term assignments. ​


Its mission is to provide high-quality staffing solutions that drive efficiencies, reduce hospital costs, and empower physicians and hospitals to sustainably transform the local healthcare landscape.

Challenge

Parrot.MD was founded initially as a peer-to-peer platform to connect doctors with other credentialed physicians to cover call shifts and provide a secondary income for doctors with student debt.


The freelance developer Parrot.MD started working with couldn’t keep up with the complexity of building an on-demand app, so they chose JMG to develop its technology platform.


JMG built custom iOS and Android apps that facilitated call assignment trades and processed payment exchanges. The apps helped Parrot.MD secure $650,000 in funding from its first raise, but market traction wasn't what Parrot.MD anticipated.

Solution

After a few years of market testing, Parrot.MD decided to pivot its technology platform toward healthcare facilities that need to streamline hospital staffing.


Version 1's features were no longer relevant, and to avoid technical debt, JMG built a purpose-driven solution that delivered value to all stakeholders. 


To make Parrot.MD's technology stack more future-proof, JMG migrated its iOS app from Objective-C to SwiftUI and converted its Android app from Kotlin to Jetpack Compose.


With Parrot.MD, hospitals can handle scheduling, recruiting, credentialing, and payments—all from one platform.

Results

Until Parrot.MD, there was no viable alternative to locum tenens, leaving healthcare facilities and clinicians with no real options. Today, Parrot.MD is a compelling alternative, offering a hassle-free and significantly lower-cost solution for short-term staffing needs. 


Parrot.MD's game-changing technology platform has raised over $1 million in its second round of funding, and its apps have 5-star ratings on the app stores.
