Pura Health Inc.

What Pura Health Inc. does

Pura Health Inc. (operating as Pura Health LLC) is a Denver, Colorado-based medical education company founded in 2024 by Dr. Carlos Jimenez, DPT, RMSK, CPSS, PhD(c). The company provides diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound training to sports medicine professionals through a portfolio of in-person workshops, self-paced online courses, and structured mentorship programs. Its core offering is a multi-format training platform that combines live hands-on scanning labs, video modules, case walkthroughs, scan review services, and direct mentorship from RMSK-certified clinicians, with most programs eligible for CME/CEU credit under BOC and CPTA provider approvals and aligned with the POCUS Education Provider (PEP) designation.

The product line spans Lower Extremity Soft Tissue Ultrasound, the Everyday Clinician Ultrasound Course, Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound & Dry Needling, the Austere and Clinical Application of Ultrasound Imaging course, and two 24-month mentorship programs (RMSK for physical therapists and RMSKS for athletic trainers) that prepare clinicians for APCA/Inteleos RMSK certification exams. Custom A La Carte Clinical Training is also offered for organizational buyers. The underlying platform is a Wix-hosted delivery system with four branded training portals providing 12-24 months of access to scanning videos, anatomy modules, case content, and downloadable resources, bundled with course purchases.

Pura Health's business model combines one-time course and mentorship fees ($399 to $8,000 per enrollment) with bundled multi-month platform access functioning as a quasi-subscription layer, plus higher-touch custom training packages for sports organizations. Customer segments include athletic trainers, physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, and chiropractors, served through direct website enrollment and in-person regional workshops. Named relationships span elite sports organizations including the National Women's Soccer League, USA Women's National Team, US Olympic Team, and several international professional soccer clubs, though these appear tied primarily to the founder's prior clinical experience and content development rather than disclosed enterprise contracts.

Core offering

Pura Health delivers diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound education to sports medicine professionals through three integrated formats: two-day in-person hands-on workshops with guided scanning labs, self-paced online video modules and case walkthroughs, and 12–24 month structured mentorship programs that prepare athletic trainers and physical therapists for RMSK and RMSKS certification. The offering bundles CME/CEU-eligible curriculum approved by BOC and CPTA, sport-specific scanning protocols (lower extremity, shoulder, knee, dry needling), and structured scan review feedback from an RMSK-certified clinician.

Product overview

Pura Health Inc. operates as a medical education and training provider offering a portfolio of ultrasound imaging and dry needling courses. The company provides in-person courses (Lower Extremity Soft Tissue Ultrasound, Everyday Clinician Ultrasound Course, Austere and Clinical Application of Ultrasound Imaging), extended mentorship programs (RMSKS Mentorship Program for athletic trainers and RMSK Mentorship Program for Physical Therapists leading to APCA/Inteleos credentials), and online courses (Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound & Dry Needling). The offering is structured as individual training programs rather than a unified software platform, with mentorship programs bundled with APCA certification exam prep and the in-person courses including 12-month online platform access.

Broad incumbents

• FUJIFILM Sonosite: Major ultrasound equipment manufacturer with educational programs and POCUS training resources. Competes indirectly as both an ultrasound training source and an equipment vendor for MSK clinicians.
• MedBridge: Continuing education and patient engagement platform widely used by physical therapists and athletic trainers. Competes for CE-credit training dollars within Pura Health's core PT/AT segment.
• Butterfly Network: POCUS ultrasound hardware company with bundled education platform (Butterfly Academy) targeting broad clinician adoption including PT/AT use cases. Larger, device-anchored incumbent that can subsidize training.

Direct peers

• SonoSim: Ultrasound simulation-based training for clinicians, with cloud-based modules and live courses. Competes directly for the same POCUS-trained clinician audience, particularly in PT and sports medicine.
• Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute: Long-standing ultrasound education provider offering CME-accredited live and online MSK ultrasound courses for sonographers and physicians. Direct competitor for hands-on MSK ultrasound workshops.
• POCUS Academy: Point-of-care ultrasound training platform focused on credentialing and CME pathways for clinicians. Overlaps with Pura Health's POCUS-aligned certification prep and live workshop delivery.
• 123sonography: Online ultrasound education platform offering CME-accredited courses and certification prep across multiple specialties including MSK. Most direct comparable as a dedicated ultrasound e-learning and live-course provider.

Others

• AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine): Professional multidisciplinary ultrasound society offering CME courses, conferences, and MSK ultrasound education. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct commercial competitor.
• Inteleos / APCA: Credentialing body that issues the RMSK certification and administers POCUS Education Provider (PEP) program. Pura Health operates within Inteleos/APCA's framework rather than competing with it.
• NATA (National Athletic Trainers' Association): Professional association representing athletic trainers that sets CE requirements and curates educational content. Acts as a referral ecosystem for CE providers like Pura Health rather than a direct competitor.
