Who We Are
Rocket Doctor is a technology-driven digital health platform and marketplace that is breaking down obstacles that limit access to quality, comprehensive and cost-effective healthcare.
Our proprietary software equips doctors with the tools to run successful practices in virtual and hybridized in-person/virtual models of care, enabling them to provide tailored care to patients in remote communities, particularly those in rural and Northern communities across Canada and on Medicaid in the United States.
Leveraging large language models, AI/ML and wireless medical devices, Rocket Doctor is bridging the healthcare divide, connecting patients to equitable and accessible virtual healthcare services regardless of age, location, or financial status.
Our Mission
Through our efficient and automated digital health platform, we’re making high-quality healthcare affordable, accessible, quick and convenient. Particularly for those living in underserved communities.
The Rocket Doctor Team, 2022
“Rocket Doctor was founded by doctors for doctors.
We started the company to empower independent physicians to improve the quality and access of care available to everyone.
Our digital health platform and marketplace connects doctors and patients in a unique way; bringing the world’s most advanced doctor’s office directly to patients.
The end result is faster, more convenient and more compassionate care. “
