Uber teams with Circulation to transport patients to doctor’s appointments

Circulation, a Boston-based startup, aligned with Uber to provide nonemergency transportation for patients in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Delaware, the companies announced Tuesday.

Circulation’s HIPAA-compliant platform will connect Uber with patients, care coordinators and providers. It also integrates with Uber’s API and has been chosen as Uber’s preferred healthcare platform partner.

The partnership is part of Circulation’s pilot program, designed to reduce the number of missed doctor’s appointments for disabled, elderly or low-income patients. According to the announcement, the program will be piloted at Boston Children’s Hospital, Mercy Health System and elderly care program in Pennsylvania and Nemours Children’s Health System in Wilmington, Delaware. For the full article click here
