Rocket Doctor AI Reports Strong Operational Momentum in Q2 2026 Driven by U.S. Expansion and Growing Patient Reach
The Company’s infrastructure growth contributed to a 196% increase in completed U.S. patient visits in Q2 2026, rising to 3,911 from 1,319 in Q1 2026. This volume was achieved while expanding our active clinician network from 19 to 30, with several providers only onboarding mid-quarter following credentialing. With 80 total providers currently on our roster, the majority of whom are advancing through credentialing, the Company is well positioned to expand clinical capacity and support continued growth in patient volume across the U.S. At the same time, Canada continues to be a core market, with a 23% year-over-year increase in completed patient visits in Q2 2026, rising to 45,766 from 37,176 in Q2 2025. The Company is continually evolving its technology suite, increasingly leveraging AI as a key component of our development practices. This commitment to AI-driven innovation remains central to the ongoing platform advancements. Furthermore, we are also excited the Company commenced a strategic marketing partnership with Rick Ware Racing on June 5th, which provides national media exposure and helps accelerate brand awareness and patient acquisition across key U.S. markets."
The primary catalyst for accelerated growth throughout 2026 is the expansion of the Company’s "in-network" U.S. patient footprint, which now spans approximately 24 million covered lives across California, New York, and Maryland. As these newly finalized payer agreements are still in the early stages of implementation, the Company views them as the vehicle to further scale patient access, with potential for continued growth in visit volumes throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Exponential Volume Scalability and Network Effects: The Company has continued to scale its clinical network in the U.S. In Q2 2026, the Company demonstrated strong operational momentum, delivering 3,911 completed patient visits in the U.S., a nearly threefold increase compared to 1,319 completed visits in Q1. This growth was achieved while expanding the active provider network from 19 to 30 clinicians during the period, several of whom were only onboarded mid-quarter following credentialing completion. With 80 total providers currently in the roster, the majority of whom are actively advancing through the credentialing process, the Company is well-positioned to progressively scale clinical capacity, broaden patient access, and support continued visit volume growth as additional providers become in-network. Management continues to actively evaluate innovative, proprietary pathways to fast-track provider credentialing to optimize onboarding velocity and satisfy network capacity requirements. Geographic Expansion and Technology Monetization: The Company remains committed to aggressively expanding its payer partnership portfolio by securing new commercial accounts and deepening penetration within existing relationships. While maintaining a highly profitable operational baseline in its three core states, the Company has initiated a multi-state expansion strategy to systematically broaden its U.S. clinical footprint throughout 2026. Concurrently, the Company is also advancing B2B opportunities, including the white labeling of its digital health infrastructure. This strategy is designed to create a scalable, recurring revenue pathway for U.S. healthcare delivery organizations to seamlessly deploy physician-led virtual care under their own established corporate brands. AI Workflow Optimization and Clinical Innovations: Operationally, management is focused on the deep integration of proprietary AI and automation modules across its core software platforms. These technical enhancements are designed to assist in optimizing complex clinical workflows and reducing administrative overhead, consistent with the Company's long-term operational goals. Through 2026, the Company continues to advance its formal partnership with Rush River Research under a US$2 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant. Utilizing Rocket Doctor’s proprietary AI engines, this high-impact initiative focuses on developing culturally sensitive diagnostic tools to transform family medical history and bridges critical clinical data gaps. This federally funded program serves as a strong validation of the history collection and sophisticated capabilities inherent in the Company's clinical reasoning technology. In June 2026, the Company received confirmation of second-year NIH funding following the successful completion of the program’s first-year milestones, further validating the strength of the collaboration and the progress achieved to date. Diversified B2B and Public Sector Ecosystems: Rocket Doctor is actively deploying its platform across a diversified ecosystem of high-value enterprise, municipal, and non-profit relationships. Current high-impact deployments include municipal health initiatives with Bruderheim and Lethbridge County, virtual emergency department (ED) diversion programs with Georgian Bay, and specialized oncology triage pathways with Melanoma Canada and the Central California Alliance for Health. The Company is actively pursuing further business-to-business (B2B) SaaS opportunities to expand this enterprise pipeline through the remainder of 2026. Financial Outlook Foundational Strength and Strategic Validation: Management believes the Company concludes Q2 2026 with a highly robust operational foundation. This position is primarily driven by the deliberate strategic pivot toward a high-margin enterprise model, successful integration of Rocket Doctor Inc., finalization of foundational "in-network" commercial payer contracts in the United States, and the continuous technological advancement of the Company’s proprietary Global Library of Medicine (GLM). The GLM remains a key platform helping to drive the Company’s growth, unlocking verticals across medical education, pharmacy integration, and decentralized digital health ecosystems. U.S. Market Penetration and Covered Lives Breakdown: The Company is actively capitalizing on its compounding momentum in the U.S. market, a direct result of disciplined, multi-year infrastructure investments. This commercial execution is highlighted by the following:
Revenue Runways and Pipeline Velocity: While these deployments began contributing incremental revenue in the first half of 2026, the vast majority of the associated financial run-rate remains unrecognized in current financials. The Company is continuing to develop its pipeline of 'in-network' U.S. payer contracts, alongside targeted marketing and patient-acquisition efforts, as it works toward its goal of strengthening financial metrics throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2026. Capital Expenditure Optimization and Platform Scalability: Over the past 18 months, the Company has executed a substantial, deliberate capital investment program dedicated to rebuilding and enhancing its core platform architectures, APIs, and interoperability frameworks. Following the completion of this capital investment phase and the reduction of technical debt, the Company is focused on operational efficiency. This foundation aligns with the Company's strategic focus on commercialization, enterprise licensing, and B2B partnerships across the global pharmacy and medical education sectors. Risk Mitigation and Long-Term Value Creation: While macroeconomic and execution risks naturally remain, The Company's dual-engine product portfolio, comprising its white-label digital health platform and marketplace and the proprietary GLM clinical reasoning engine, is intended to support the Company in navigating any market headwinds. The Company anticipates its disciplined approach to strategic partnerships, accelerated corporate adoption of digital health tools, and continuous refinement of its AI-driven platforms is intended to support the Company's strategic focus on operational efficiency, shareholder value and sustainable growth.
