GrandPad, a tablet-based solution designed specifically for seniors, is teaming up with Lyft to provide easy, convenient car rides.
GrandPad offers both a product and service to make communication for seniors simpler. It features video calling, one-touch voice email and apps so seniors can maintain their autonomy and reduce isolation.
Under the agreement with Lyft, seniors and their caregivers will be able to request rides via concierge or self-serve.
"By integrating Lyft into our technology, we are making it easier than ever before for seniors to attend appointments, run errands, and even visit friends," said Scott Lien, CEO and co-founder of grandPad. "We are honored to have Lyft help us meet the transportation needs of the growing senior population and, more importantly, make a difference by improving senior lives."
