ROCKET DOCTOR AI, HEALTH CITIES AND CAN HEALTH NETWORK PARTNER TO ADVANCE AI-POWERED CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT IN ALBERTA
Rocket Doctor AI Inc. has entered a new partnership with the CAN Health Network to test its artificial-intelligence-powered clinical decision support system in collaboration with Health Cities. The project will launch at up to four primary care sites in Alberta to help physicians deliver faster, evidence-based and more efficient care.
The program was developed in accordance with Health Cities' need for an integrated, AI-powered solution capable of analyzing diverse data sources, automating routine tasks and delivering real-time clinical recommendations. The project, running from November, 2025, to March, 2026, involves approximately 20 clinicians and aims to set the foundation for a potential full provincial rollout in 2026. As a CAN Health Network primary care edge, Health Cities creates an environment where innovative solutions can be co-developed, validated and adopted to address real-world health challenges.
The initiative rolls out in three phases, beginning with AI-powered patient intake through a website-embedded chatbot, followed by real-time clinician support during visits and ultimately integration with electronic medical records. Rocket Doctor AI's global library of medicine is a clinically validated decision engine developed with input from hundreds of physicians to assist providers with triage, differential diagnosis and evidence-based care planning.
This project comes at a critical time for Alberta's health care system,
where staffing shortages, limited access to primary care and increasing patient loads
continue to strain clinics across the province. Recent data show that
one in five Albertans lacks a family physician, with many communities facing long wait times for basic care. This project aims to directly address these challenges by supporting clinicians with intelligent, AI-driven tools that improve efficiency and patient access.
Key anticipated outcomes include a 25- to 40-per-cent reduction in physician intake time, as well as improved patient satisfaction through faster and clearer communication. The CDSS is also expected to significantly reduce physicians' administrative workload, including less time on charting, documentation and billing.
"Partnering with CAN health and Health Cities represents an important milestone for Rocket Doctor AI," said Dr. Essam Hamza, chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor AI. "Our mission is to empower health care providers with tools that improve patient outcomes and restore time for meaningful patient interactions. This collaboration will help demonstrate how AI can directly support physicians on the front lines of care."
Rocket Doctor AI's platform will be hosted in secure, Canadian-based data centres, aligned with HIPAA, PIPEDA and Alberta's Health Information Act. The modular system architecture ensures future growth, with the capability to scale across Alberta's 4,400 providers and beyond.
"This collaboration will allow Alberta's health care community to evaluate how AI can improve system efficiency and clinical decision making in real-world settings," said Dr. Dante Morra, founder and chief executive officer of the CAN Health Network. "By starting with intake and decision support, we can scale to support thousands of providers across the province."
This project is made possible through financing and support from the CAN Health Network, a federally funded initiative designed to help Canadian companies scale innovative health care solutions domestically. The partnership underscores Rocket Doctor AI's commitment to advancing equitable access to care, supporting overburdened clinicians and modernizing healthcare delivery through responsible AI innovation.
A commercialization project agreement was entered into by the parties on Nov. 12, 2025. The agreement details the intent of the parties to collaborate in jointly delivering a commercialization project. Either party may propose amendments or terminate this agreement upon written notice.
About Rocket Doctor AI Inc.
Rocket Doctor AI delivers physician-built, AI-powered solutions designed to make high-quality health care accessible throughout the entire patient journey. A cornerstone of the company's proprietary technology is the global library of medicine, a clinically validated decision support system developed with input from hundreds of physicians worldwide.
Alongside the GLM is Rocket Doctor Inc. and its AI-powered digital health platform and marketplace. Having helped empower over 300 medical doctors to provide care to more than 700,000 patient visits, its 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, its technology creates more time for meaningful physician-patient interactions. The company is committed to reaching underserved, rural and remote communities in Canada which often lack access to family doctors and to supporting patients on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States. With advanced AI, large language models and connected medical devices, Rocket Doctor AI is redefining modern health care -- making it more scalable, equitable and patient centred.
We seek Safe Harbor.
