Founded in 2010 by Jeff Arnold and Dr. Mehmet Oz, and led by Justin Ferrero, president, Sharecare provides an AI-powered platform that leverages smartphones to give people (employees, health plan members, patients, self-motivated individuals or caregivers) access to the care they need, when they need it.
