Did you know transportation is the top activity family caregivers assist with? According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP's Caregiving in the US data, 80% of family caregivers assist with transportation. I recently spoke with TheStreet about how Uber's new service for family caregivers highlights a huge opportunity for private sector innovation in this space. What's inspiring is that this product was born from personal experience of Uber Health's lead engineer, demonstrating the universal nature of care. It's a reminder that caregiving touches us all, from software engineers to construction workers. That creates a tremendous opportunity for innovation and investment.
