Alongside the GLM is Rocket Doctor, and its artificial-intelligence-powered digital health platform and marketplace. Having helped empower over 300 MDs (medical doctors) to provide care to more than 700,000 patient visits, the company's proprietary technology software and systems enable doctors to independently launch and manage their own virtual or hybrid in-person practices -- improving efficiency, restoring autonomy to MDs and expanding patient access to care.
By reducing administrative burdens and ensuring greater consistency in care, the company's technology creates more time for meaningful physician-patient interactions. The company is committed to reaching underserved, rural and remote communities in Canada who often lack access to family doctors and supporting patients on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States.
