We Take Laughter Seriously

We offer award-winning expertise in three critical areas:
(1) Comedy (2) Clinical health (3) Biometric digital experiences

Executive Summary

To assist a $4 trillion healthcare system buckled under chronic pain and skyrocketing workforce burnout, you need a serious cross-disciplinary brain trust. The LaughMD leadership team seamlessly bridges the gap between elite Hollywood production, advanced clinical medicine, data science, and academic research.

Led by founder Prof. Frank Chindamo, CHP—a veteran comedy creator from Saturday Night Live and an award-winning Adjunct Professor at USC and UCLA—our board features legendary clinical pioneers like Dr. Patch Adams, MD, and leading psychoneuroimmunology research advisors. Together, we have built a data-driven, proprietary health-tech infrastructure that turns raw comedic talent into a scalable, evidence-based digital “prescription” for elite healthcare networks nationwide.
