What is Uber's launch of the patient pick-up service?
OFweek Medical Network On January 8, Uber and MedStarHealth, the largest non-profit medical institution in Maryland and Washington, DC, announced that they would provide car-related services to patients to ensure they can seek medical attention on time.
In the United States to see a doctor to follow a strict appointment system, missed appointment time not only delay treatment but also bring economic losses to patients. According to statistics, 3.6 million people in the United States miss or postpone appointments every year. The most important reason is the problem of transportation.
Uber grabbed this and partnered with MedStarHealth to launch the "RidewithUber" service. Patients can click on the "RidewithUber" link on the MedStarHealth website to enter their address, the address of the hospital they are visiting, the date of the appointment, the phone number, etc. In addition, the website also has a reminder service. After the user selects the appointment time, the system can automatically remind one hour in advance.
“Uber is a reliable means of transportation, day or night,†said Uber's general manager in Washington, DC, Zuhairah Washington. “Our partnership with MedStar can help patients better plan their own. Ways of transportation and make sure they don't miss the time of the consultation because of traffic problems."
In fact, Uber is not the only one to connect patients and hospital companies in transportation. Another American taxi software, Lyft, also provides car service in New York through NationalMedtransNetwork.
The difference is that Lyft's main service target is the elderly population. Since many elderly people have multiple chronic diseases and need to go to the hospital regularly, they have a greater demand for such vehicles, but there is no reliable solution. According to Lyft, more than a quarter of older people do not have a smartphone, so these taxi apps don't solve their problems. So Lyft set up a website called Concierge to let users book cars through such a platform.
Now, Lyft receives about 2,500 copies a week.
Although it is different from the United States in the country, transportation is also a big problem, especially for patients and elderly patients who need to go to the hospital regularly. Of course, at present, domestic taxi software such as Drip, Fast, etc. can also make appointments, but there seems to be no precedent for cooperation with hospitals and other medical institutions, and many elderly people are not familiar with the taxi software on smartphones. There are definitely more patient groups in China than in the US, which will make a big market. So, can't help but want to @æ»´æ»´, what are you waiting for?
