Project Description:
Drivemada is the ride-hailing service within Caremada, an application that matches service care providers with care seekers. Caremada exists to address the current market gap for both seekers and providers. As a seeker, it is difficult to find affordable services, and the services offered are often very high-touch in nature, such as nursing and caretaking, and there is no lower-tier alternatives for services such as general accompaniment to the grocery store. As a care provider, the barriers to entry are very high, due to the dominance of premium care services in the market that impose stringent requirements. There are no existing methods for capable care providers to offer slightly lower tier services, where such stringent requirements are not necessary.
As part of the broader Caremada umbrella, Drivermada seeks to match drivers and riders in real-time, and differentiates from Uber by accommodating special needs such as physical assistance to and from the vehicle. If the real-time matching process is successful, the same functionality can be ported to other Caremada services as well in addition to ride-hailing.
Short Description:
Drivemada is a ride-hailing app meant to connect Riders seeking more specialized care than simple pick-up and drop-off with Drivers providing these services.
