Becoming a caregiver can be a sometimes unexpected — and costly — challenge. But a new tool from Uber, called Uber Caregiver, is designed to make getting your loved ones' rides and medication a little easier. Launching this summer, the new feature will let caregivers help coordinate recipients' care with rides, medications and more. The program was developed by Uber Health lead engineer Jeremy Hintz and his team — with his grandparents in mind.
A three-way chat feature in the app allows the caregiver, rider and driver to stay in communication. And the caregiver receives a notification when the rider has made it to their destination safely.
