Sharecare has more than 6 billion data points on health status and habits shared by more than 41 million people. The Sharecare platform uses this data to create a health profile each user can access and use to connect with the care they need.
Through the agreement with BlackBerry, Sharecare will integrate BBM messaging and voice over IP infrastructure capabilities into its native application.
“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 of 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.”
