Sharecare is a health and wellness engagement platform that provides consumers with personalized information, programs and resources to improve their health. It provides personalized information to the site's users based on their responses to the RealAge Test, the company's health risk assessment tool, and offers a clinical decision support tool, AskMD. Headquartered in Atlanta, Sharecare was founded in 2010 by Jeff Arnold (founder of WebMD) and Dr. Mehmet Oz, in partnership with Harpo Studios, Sony Pictures Television and Discovery Communications.

Sharecare began as an interactive question-and-answer (Q&A) platform about health and then expanded its products and services through internal development and strategic acquisitions of companies including DailyStrength, dotFit, The Little Blue Book, WisePatient, RealAge, PKC Corporation, BACTES Imaging Soultions, QualityHealth, Feingold Technologies, BioLucid and Healthways.

Sharecare.com is built on a social content platform curating the collective knowledge of vetted medical experts. Much of its content is contributed by organizations like AARP, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and medical professionals . Questions are also answered by medical centers such as the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins. The platform allows them to answer questions and engage in conversations about health.

The RealAge Test is a health risk assessment which determines the biological age of a person's body based on an online questionnaire about their health status, and good and bad health habits. In January 2014, PLOS ONE published a study validating the RealAge Test as a more accurate predictor of mortality than calendar age and the Framingham Risk Score.
