Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, and Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) have formed a collaboration designed to improve digital health and disease management for a range of health care consumers.
Sharecare has named Quest its preferred laboratory partner for its comprehensive digital health platform. Sharecare and Quest Diagnostics also intend to jointly explore the development of disease management programs and other services to empower better health. In addition, Quest has made a strategic investment in Sharecare for an undisclosed sum with Goldman Sachs serving as Sharecare’s financial advisor. Additional terms were not disclosed.
“With its expertise, quality and reach, Quest Diagnostics is the trusted leader in diagnostic information services. Together, we will elevate the Sharecare experience and empower individuals to access better insights into their health risks,” said Jeff Arnold, co-founder, chairman and CEO for Sharecare.
The Sharecare platform engages people in all aspects of their health, from developing better eating habits, improving sleep and reducing stress to managing a chronic condition such as diabetes or heart disease. Starting with the RealAge test, the Sharecare platform enables people to go from assessment to action, and connect to personalized information, evidence-based programs, benefits, community resources and health services they need, while helping employers, health plans and health systems improve outcomes and close gaps in care for their populations.
