An estimated 15% of U.S. adults have chronic kidney disease, the
latter stages of which require weekly dialysis treatment to
survive. Ambulnz will assist people getting to and from scheduled
dialysis appointments. Ambulnz's proprietary artificial
intelligence (AI) technology provides intelligent fleet routing,
accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA), and real-time vehicle GPS
tracking for enhanced patient engagement and peace of mind.
Dialysis patients in Illinois using Ambulnz services can now get
dedicated and reliable transportation to and from their kidney
dialysis appointments.
"The expansion into Illinois
demonstrates our continued commitment to elevate the patient
experience. We will continue launching into new geographies so we
can offer superior service and quality care – for healthcare
providers and their patients in markets across the United States," said Kelly Adair, VP of Operations at Ambulnz.
