Vancouver, BC, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocket Doctor AI Inc. (CSE: AIDR, OTC: AIRDF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Rocket Doctor AI”) today announced that Dr. William Cherniak, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of its operating subsidiary, Rocket Doctor Inc. (“Rocket Doctor”), has been selected to participate in the Canadian Life Sciences Trade Mission to New York and New Jersey, taking place May 11–14, 2026. Dr. Cherniak will represent Rocket Doctor as part of a Canadian delegation engaging with U.S. healthcare leaders, investors, and strategic partners to support the Company’s U.S. expansion strategy.
The mission will provide Rocket Doctor with direct access to important contacts in one of the world’s largest and most influential life sciences markets, comprising more than 5,100 companies and 150,000 industry professionals across the New York City and New Jersey metro region. Participation supports Rocket Doctor’s U.S. expansion strategy through investor engagement, ecosystem access, and a featured pitch at the Canadian Consulate in New York City.
The Canadian Life Sciences Trade Mission is designed to connect Canadian innovators with U.S. healthcare leaders, investors, buyers, and strategic partners. Rocket Doctor was introduced to the opportunity through the Ontario Trade & Investment Office in New York and, following a merit-based selection process, was chosen to join a curated delegation of Canadian life sciences companies showcasing innovation on the international stage.
As part of the mission, Dr. Cherniak will attend the delegation kickoff and meet-and-greet on May 11, providing an opportunity to connect with fellow participants, organizers, and ecosystem stakeholders ahead of the week’s programming. On May 13, he will participate in a presentation hosted by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, followed by a guided tour of New York City’s life sciences ecosystem, including visits to leading innovation hubs such as the Alexandria Center for Life Science, BioLabs@NYU Langone, and Harlem Biospace.
That evening, Dr. Cherniak will join fellow delegates at a networking and pitch reception hosted at the Canadian Consulate General. During the reception, he will deliver a two-minute pitch highlighting Rocket Doctor’s digital health platform and marketplace, including how its AI-powered infrastructure is designed to expand access to physician-led care, especially for rural and underserved communities. The presentation will also highlight the Company’s growing footprint in the U.S., including its collaboration with EngageWell IPA and funding support from the CVS Health Foundation to deliver virtual care programs for older adults in New York City, an initiative focused on improving access to care, supporting health equity, and helping patients maintain independence through accessible, community-connected services.
“Being selected for this mission is an important milestone for Rocket Doctor as we continue to expand our presence across the United States, and the East Coast specifically,” said Dr. William Cherniak, Founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor Inc. “New York and New Jersey represent two of the most vibrant and strategically important life sciences ecosystems globally, and we look forward to engaging with partners who share our vision for improving access to care for underserved communities.”
The New York and New Jersey life sciences corridor is a global centre for healthcare innovation. New Jersey, often referred to as the “Medicine Chest of the World,” is home to eight of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical companies and generates approximately US$121 billion in annual economic output. New York City continues to emerge as a leading hub for life sciences investment, supported by major research institutions, more than US$2 billion in annual National Institute of Health (NIH) funding, and significant public and private capital.
Rocket Doctor’s participation in the trade mission underscores the Company’s continued momentum as it expands internationally and strengthens its presence in the U.S. market. As part of its broader growth strategy, Rocket Doctor AI is focused on supporting the expansion of Rocket Doctor’s wholly-owned digital health platform and marketplace within payer networks to deliver coordinated, accessible care at scale and to populations in need.
