优步健康为病人预约叫车

Uber wants to make it easier for people to get to and from doctors appointments*.

Called “Uber Health,” the service lets doctors hail a ride for patients. Depending on the patient’s needs, an Uber can be called immediately, within a few hours, or with 30 days’ notice. The car can either be sent to the patient’s house, or it can pick patients up at a medical facility and take them home.

Uber has partnered with more than 100 healthcare organizations in the United States to launch the service, including hospitals, clinics, rehab centers, senior care facilities, home care centers and physical therapy centers.

Uber Health can be accessed either as an online dashboard or as an application programming interface (API*) that software developers can integrate into their own healthcare systems.

Uber Health sends riders notifications* about their car via text message. The dashboard also comes with a printable sheet allowing the doctor to circle the incoming Uber’s car color and write down the license plate number.
