VANCOUVER, BC, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treatment.com AI Inc. (CSE: TRUE, OTC: TREIF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Treatment”) and Rocket Doctor, its wholly owned online care platform, applaud United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for his remarks during the House Appropriations Committee Budget Hearing yesterday, where he championed the potential role of telehealth and artificial intelligence in improving access to care.
“We are going to dramatically revolutionize the availability of telehealth and AI so that people can avoid emergency rooms by getting treated at home,” said Secretary Kennedy Jr. “I looked at a technology yesterday that can accurately diagnose strep throat using your telephone camera with one picture of the inside of your throat…you can prevent somebody from having to go to the emergency room, and you can get them a prescription on site.” (see: Budget Hearing – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - 2:12:25)
These comments echo Treatment and Rocket Doctor’s mission, and whose virtual care technologies are already making this future a reality. Across New York and California, Rocket Doctor’s platform enables physicians to start their own practices and remotely diagnose and treat Medicare and Medicaid patients using advanced AI tools and Bluetooth-enabled medical devices. This service is providing patients in cities and rural communities with accurate, in-home assessments while reducing the need for emergency care visits.
“Virtual care is the great equalizer,” said Dr. William Cherniak, CEO and Founder of Rocket Doctor. “Whether it’s using a smartphone otoscope to examine an ear infection or a bluetooth connected stethoscope to assess lungs, we’re equipping doctors and patients with the tools to make timely, accurate decisions from anywhere and anytime. Secretary Kennedy’s remarks validate what we’ve been building: a healthcare model that is accessible for all people, where care comes to you.”
