RIDEGURU
A host of new startups are entering the health and wellness field, offering on-demand services straight to consumers: “Heal, DispatchHealth, MedZed, Dose Healthcare, and Pager will send a doctor or a nurse practitioner to a person’s home or workplace to treat nonemergency problems like strep throat or a sprained ankle.” Feeling a little short of fluids after a rough night out? I.V. Doc will hook you up with vitamin drips. Can’t be bothered to ride your Bird to a CVS? Capsule will deliver prescriptions. And for those feeling really lazy (but still wanting to work out), GymGuyz, will send a trainer and dumbbells to your door. Snicker all you want, but the $3.5 billion health services industry could use a little disruption.

House calls? I like it, every time I’m at the doctors, I wait for an hour past my appointment time. How about an app combining doctor visits with pot delivery? It’s legal in CA!
