Sharecare.com is a national health and wellness resource and information website. The website includes platforms for both personalized and general health programs and information. In 2010, Jeff Arnold, the creator of WebMD and television’s Dr. Oz (Mehmet Oz), founded Shareware.com in collaboration with several large corporate investors: Sony Pictures Television, Discovery Communications, and Harpo Studios.
Sharecare is best known for its RealAge Test, but also offers several other products and programs for website members. For instance, the company’s AskMD app functions as a diagnostic, information, and resource tool that helps users locate appropriate physicians and research information after they input symptoms about a pertinent condition. AskMD won an award as the best medical app of 2014.
In-house authors research and write a large portion of Sharecare.com’s content. Sharecare also seeks the expertise of external authors, such as medical professionals from the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins University. Other personal and organizational authors include independent medical professionals, the AARP, American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and National Academy of Sports Medicine. In addition, various personal and corporate knowledge partners contribute content or answer member questions. Now, CPT has also contributed content.
In celebration of National Dog Day (Aug 26, 2016), Sharecare contacted CPT to co-develop a 10-minute piece on service dogs and service dog training. CPT’s Mark Spivak and Holly Bellin, Sharecare’sManager of Social Content and Brand Communications, cooperatively authored the talking points and storyboards. Sharecare then produced a live broadcast of CPT Trainer Patricia King. Patricia eloquently discussed the selection, role, training, and benefit of service dogs to a national audience.
