Sharecare COVID-19 Integration with Sharecare App
Sharecare’s COVID-19 content also is available directly within the Sharecare app, where registered users receive timely event cards and notifications alerting them to new COVID-19 content as the news cycle warrants and will best benefit each user’s well-being. Sharecare enables people to go from assessment to action, and connect to the personalized information, evidence-based programs, benefits, community resources and health services they need to live their best lives. Several of Sharecare’s existing platform capabilities can further support people facing challenges more specific to COVID-19, from risk mitigation and stress and anxiety to the impacts of social distancing and medication adherence:
– RealAge: During a recent White House Coronavirus (COVID-19) Task Force briefing, leaders noted the importance of understanding the physiological age of your body – not just your calendar age. By calculating the actual age of a person’s body based on lifestyle factors and key indicators for health risks, RealAge can help each person better understand the full picture of their personal health and identify areas of potential concern during this pandemic.
– Green days: The metric Sharecare uses to help users track daily progress toward their personalized health goals – which, when accumulated over time, can result in a lower RealAge.
– Sharecare Rx: Sharecare’s exclusive digital pharmacy savings card to help people who are uninsured or may lack sufficient drug coverage save money on their prescription medications and get up to a 90-day supply.
– Challenges: From stress management and sleep to hand-washing, Sharecare presents users with in-app challenges to encourage healthier practices.
– Sharecare Windows: Hundreds of hours of award-winning relaxation videos to help people relax, recharge and stay calm through mindfulness and meditation.
