Uber has announced a slew of healthcare - related deals of late , collaborating with three digital health companies in the space of the last week alone . With the first , Uber has partnered with Epidemico to deliver flu shots via its taxi infrastructure in 36 cities across the country , following a successful testing programme last year in 4 cities . The nurse could vaccinate up to 10 people at each site. The collaboration aims to deliver 10,000 vaccines , but has not made public any success figures yet , nor whether it plans to continue or expand the programme next year . Uber has also signed a deal in Asia with Practo , a telemedicine service that allows users to book appointments from their phones . The agreement embeds Uber 's taxi service within the Practo app , allowing users to schedule a taxi ride when they book a doctors appointment , and includes two free rides . Finally , it is working with the Sarasota Regional Health Care System to develop a beta programme that will allow outpatients to pre - arrange rides that align to appointments arranged with doctors physiotherapists and nurses .
