Uber and Lyft each rolled out new services aimed at addressing social determinants of health

Ride-hailing titans Uber and Lyft have each launched a suite of new services aimed at addressing social determinants of health (SDOH), according to Forbes. For context, SDOH refers to health-influencing factors outside clinical settings — such as access to transportation — that drive 80% of health outcomes. And as Uber and Lyft continue proving that their services can help reduce transportation and care costs, we expect to see both brands secure more provider and insurer tie-ups. ... And Boston Medical Center experienced a similar result, reporting $500,000 in transportation savings by leveraging Uber's NEMT services.
