Rocket Doctor is a technology-driven digital health platform and marketplace founded in 2020 that connects patients with primary care, specialists and ongoing medical support, delivering virtual care directly into patients' homes. The company operates across Canada and the United States and describes itself as one of the fastest-growing digital health companies in North America. To date the platform has served more than 500,000 patient appointments and hosts more than 300 healthcare providers.
The company was founded by Dr. William Cherniak, an emergency room physician. Its stated mission is to break down barriers to healthcare access for rural, underserved and financially constrained patients, delivering care regardless of a patient's location or financial status. Alongside patient access, the platform is designed to let physicians build and scale their own virtual practices.
Rocket Doctor's technical work spans artificial intelligence, large language models and wireless medical devices. Two AI-based tools sit alongside the core platform: a medical history analysis tool that equips physicians with AI-driven analysis of patient histories, and an automated scribe built for clinicians delivering virtual care. The broader focus is on comprehensive, personalised care coordinated from the patient's home.
