Toronto, ON, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

AI Inc. (CSE: TRUE, OTC: TREIF, Frankfurt: 939) ('Treatment') is proud to announce that its virtual care subsidiary, Rocket Doctor Inc., has partnered with Melanoma Canada to help bridge the care gap for individuals identified as at-risk for melanoma and other skin cancers during mobile screening events across the country.
Melanoma Canada's Mole Mobile units, Canada's first mobile skin cancer screening clinics, presented by Neutrogena®, a Kenvue brand travel across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec, offering free skin checks from certified dermatologists in both remote and urban communities. Through this partnership, Rocket Doctor will provide patients who do not have a family physician with timely access to follow-up appointments via its virtual care platform.
'Too many Canadians are going without the care they need simply because they don't have a family doctor,' said Dr. William Cherniak, Founder and CEO of Rocket Doctor. 'By partnering with Melanoma Canada, we're making it easier for patients identified during these critical screenings to get connected to a physician quickly, ensuring no one falls through the cracks.'
Dermatologists working in the Mole Mobile units will complete an on-site risk assessment and referral form for patients who require follow-up. These forms can then be uploaded directly to Rocket Doctor's intake system, enabling efficient, streamlined review and timely access to appropriate care.
The need for follow-up care has never been more urgent. Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada, more prevalent than breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancers combined. One in every three cancers diagnosed in Canada is a skin cancer, and the incidence of melanoma, the deadliest form, continues to rise. Every day, 22 Canadians are diagnosed with melanoma, and 3 die from it.
'With one in three cancers diagnosed in Canada being skin cancer, access to timely follow-up care is crucial,' said Falyn Katz, CEO of Melanoma Canada. 'Our partnership with Rocket Doctor ensures that individuals flagged during our screenings, many of whom don't have a family doctor, can seamlessly transition from screening to care. It's a powerful step forward in improving outcomes for patients who might otherwise be left waiting.'
The initiative is expected to increase patient traffic across Rocket Doctor's platform during Mole Mobile's national tour, while reinforcing Rocket Doctor's mission to improve equitable access to physician-led care. As part of the collaboration, Rocket Doctor's logo will also appear on Mole Mobile vans and campaign materials, which collectively generate millions of impressions throughout the tour. The term of this Agreement is 12 months commencing February 3, 2025, and will automatically renew for successive 12-month periods unless either party provides at least 30 days' written notice of termination prior to the renewal date.
Initial events will kick off in Toronto and Edmonton this spring, with additional stops planned through October 2025.
