John Brownstein
Chief innovation officer, Boston Children's Hospital
Brownstein co-founded Circulation, a non-emergency medical transportation company. The program integrated with Uber, creating a customizable, HIPAA-compliant digital transportation platform. Eventually, Circulation started to operate its own fleet. Last year, Circulation was in use by health systems in 45 states. It accesses scheduling information and helps put a dent in the nearly 3 million missed appointments annually due to lack of transportation. Circulation was recently acquired by LogistiCare Solutions.
