GoGoGrandparent Launches in Australia, Powered By Uber Health
Summary
• AGE-FRIENDLY CUSTOMIZATION + OVERSIGHT: Through GoGoGrandparents platform, all rides are monitored by team members, who screen and match drivers and cars based on whether or not they are able to accommodate the needs of people living with visual, cognitive, dexterity & mobility impairments. "We are thrilled to bring our transportation solution to Australia so that older adults and those with disabilities have a reliable, accessible, and convenient way to request rides," said Justin Boogaard, co-founder and CEO of GoGoGrandparent. "Our mission is to ensure that people can enjoy the freedom of mobility as they age, and our work with Uber Health will now help us support Australians independence." "For older adults across Australia, accessing flexible and reliable transportation can often feel like an insurmountable barrier to care, community, and independence," said Sarah Fosterling, Head of Enterprise and Partnerships in APAC for Uber for Business. GoGos "GoGoGuardian" system helps protect clients living with cognitive, visual, physical or dexterous impairments to ensure a safe, reliable and affordable independence.
