Those with acute renal failure (kidneys) largely need to go to and from a dialysis center a couple of times a week. Dialysis is an exhausting, lengthy process. Once the treatment is finished, a patient really is not fit to drive yet many do for the sake of cost. Driving after dialysis is like DWI. It isn't safe for anyone on the road.

If Uber Health can provide affordable transportation services for dialysis patients, it is providing a life changing service that is sorely needed. This is a great idea and I hope that the service succeeds.
