Uber (the ride-sharing app/company) is entering the health field with its healthcare subsidiary, Uber Health. Uber Health will partner with the startup, Solve.Care. Solve.care uses the ethereum blockchain to manage and provide medical patients access to affordable and accessible non-emergency medical transportation. It has been estimated that 1000’s of miss appointments due to lack of transportation. Patients on Uber Health will be able to schedule rides on the Solve.Care network. And they won’t even need the Uber app to do so. Costs for the trip can be paid for directly, or easily shared with employers and/or family members, and others. Traditional payment systems can be used (like credit cards) or the Solve.Care native ethereum token can be used. This service should be up and running sometime this year in 2019. Uber is also part of the association, along with Facebook, which is creating the new Libra stable coin.
