New Orleans, LA, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treatment.com AI Inc. (CSE: TRUE, OTC: TREIF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Treatment”) is proud to announce that its subsidiary, Rocket Doctor Inc., has been awarded Clinical Innovator of the Year at the NEXUS 2025 Innovators Challenge, held this week in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Innovators Challenge, a highly anticipated pitch competition featuring the latest breakthroughs in virtual and digital healthcare, showcased companies redefining care delivery. Rocket Doctor emerged as the winner in the Clinical Innovator category following a live pitch session judged by a panel of industry experts and healthcare leaders.

“This award is a powerful recognition of our mission to empower physicians and expand access to high-quality care,” said Dr. William Cherniak, CEO and Founder of Rocket Doctor. “By giving doctors the tools to run their own online and in-person practices, we’re building a more responsive, sustainable, and patient-centered future for healthcare.”

Rocket Doctor’s innovative platform allows independent physicians to launch and manage their own practices with built-in administrative support, AI-powered triage tools, and access to virtual care infrastructure. The platform supports a wide range of care, from urgent visits to complex consults, enabling physicians to meet patients where they are, on their own schedule, and without the need for traditional brick-and-mortar clinics.

“Rocket Doctor is exactly the kind of innovation we want to see more of in healthcare - physician-led, patient-focused, and technology-powered,” said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Treatment.com AI Inc. “This recognition validates our shared vision of making healthcare more accessible and adaptable, without losing the human connection that defines excellent care.”

The win comes during a busy week for Dr. William Cherniak, who is also speaking at several high-profile innovation events across North America. This includes Harvard University and AARP’s AgeTech Accelerator Founders’ Day, highlighting how Rocket Doctor is expanding access to care for Medicare, Medicaid, and aging populations. He’ll also take the stage at Berkeley’s Health Engine Demo Day, alongside other leaders driving the next generation of healthtech. These appearances underscore Rocket Doctor’s growing presence on the global stage and its role in shaping the future of physician-led, technology-enabled care.

With a growing physician network across Canada and the United States, Rocket Doctor is continuing to scale its platform and expand access to underserved communities. The Clinical Innovator award marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to modernize healthcare delivery through scalable, physician-first solutions.
