BlackBerry are teaming up with digital health and wellness engagement platform Sharecare to provide consumers with better and more secure insights into their health. As part of the partnership, Sharecare and BlackBerry will integrate Sharecare’s proprietary fractal voice analysis into BlackBerry’s secure messaging to increase consumer self-awareness, reduce stress and improve relationships, all while providing the gold-standard in consumer privacy.

Building on this, the companies will move to enable consumers to safely store, manage and update their health information in one place, enable doctors and healthcare professionals to privately communicate with patients, and offer secure telehealth services.

To date, over 41 million people have shared more than 6 billion data points about their health status and habits with Sharecare, which uses that information to create a comprehensive health profile where each user can access their health resources in one place, and connect to the care they need. With security and privacy of its consumers a top priority, Sharecare will be the first company to integrate BBM messaging and VOIP infrastructure capabilities into its native application – regardless of smartphone or operating system.

“At Sharecare, we strive to make healthcare more accessible by allowing consumers to ask, learn and act on their health and wellness, and we recognize mobility is an integral way consumers live, transact and interact,” said Jeff Arnold, Chairman and CEO, Sharecare. “With BlackBerry, we are safeguarding against vulnerabilities and taking responsibility to address privacy concerns in the healthcare industry.”

“With the accessibility mobility provides, it also comes with the increased risk of data breaches that can compromise patient information and care,” said Marty Beard, COO, BlackBerry. “When it comes to managing our health, it is imperative we provide secure solutions that address privacy concerns for organizations like Sharecare, in order to address one of the critical requirements for mass adoption of mobile healthcare solutions.”
