As the days get shorter and colder, many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – a type of depression that typically begins in the fall and lasts through the winter months. If you’re feeling more tired, low on energy, or less motivated, you are not alone. Here are a few tips to help manage SAD: • Get Natural Light: Spend time outdoors during daylight hours or sit by a window to soak up some natural light. • Light Therapy: Consider using a light box designed to mimic sunlight, which can help improve mood and energy levels. • Stay Active: Regular physical activity can boost your mood and reduce stress. Even a short walk can make a difference! • Practice Self-Care: Mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques can help reduce anxiety and improve emotional well-being. • Seek Professional Support: If symptoms persist, speaking with a healthcare provider or therapist can be helpful. Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. Reach out if you’re struggling – Rocket Doctor’s Virtual Psychotherapy Clinic is available 24/7 and ready to assist. #seasonaldepression #mentalhealth #virtualcare

Congrats to all the incredible healthtech innovators who pitched at last night's #Boston Demo Day, as part of the Digital Health Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) 2024!
Last night, we were proud to present to the #Boston #healthtech ecosystem the graduates of our Digital Health Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) 2024! Our Consul General, the Hon. Bernadette Jordan kicked off the event by welcoming the nine companies from across #Canada 🍁 who completed a six-month program focused on growing in three U.S. markets: Boston, #NewYork and #SanFrancisco. The completion of the program culminated in yesterday's "Demo Day", an in-person opportunity for the companies to pitch to investors, academia, doctors, hospital leadership, industry experts, lawyers, and more. We were also honoured to host a fireside chat with Dr. Dicken Ko, Prof. of Surgery, Urology and Transplant, at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Dr. Ko shared stories of his success as a surgeon and entrepreneur and provided salient advice to the participating companies. Dr. Ko, who is a Canadian from #Vancouver, performed the first successful genitourinary vascularized composite allograft (penile) transplant in the USA.. Congratulations to the nine innovative Canadian start-ups, and welcome to Boston! Brave Technology Co-Op HealthTech Connex Inc.

We often get asked: Is a virtual appointment as effective as seeing a doctor in person? The answer is in many cases, yes, but it’s important to understand why. At Rocket Doctor we are not simply a virtual walk-in clinic, but rather a platform that empowers physicians to practice independently, much like a “Shopify for MDs”. This means physicians can order bloodwork and imaging, make specialist referrals, book follow-ups, and collaborate and share care with colleagues seamlessly. Some tests can even be done with at-home medical devices. In some cases, in-person care may be required, but we help patients navigate that based on the doctor’s clinical preferences and comfort level. Whether virtual or in-person, our goal is to ensure you receive the best care possible.

Meet Taryn Chesser, one of our talented Physician Assistants (PA) at Rocket Doctor. Physician Assistants, or PAs, are a valuable group of professionals helping to deliver high-quality, compassionate care to patients. They work with fully licensed / board certified physicians to help bridge gaps in healthcare by diagnosing, treating, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to ensure patients get the support and treatment they need. Here's a few ways our PAs contribute: • Collect patient histories • Order and interpret diagnostic tests • Provide counselling and education • Diagnose new conditions and manage chronic illnesses • Prescribe medication At Rocket Doctor, certified PAs offer consistent, patient-centred care, allowing you to request the same PA for ongoing support. Each case is reviewed by a fully licensed physician, ensuring comprehensive care every step of the way. #physicianassistants #patientcare #virtualhealth
