Sharecare earns 18 Digital Health Awards for virtual care platform, original COVID-19 content, and well-being engagement tools

ATLANTA, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced it was recognized in the Fall 2020 Digital Health Awards with 18 awards across its social media channels, patient engagement and education products, virtual care platform, and original content and resources, including those developed in rapid response to the pandemic.

The biannual Digital Health Awards recognize the world's best digital health resources for consumers and healthcare professionals. For the third consecutive competition, Sharecare took the top spot in the Instagram category with a Gold distinction. The Sharecare team also earned Gold Awards for Dr. Oz¹ on Facebook and An Interactive Look at Immunotherapy, part of the digital health company's patient engagement and education solution suite.

"The value of credible, engaging, and easily accessible tools and information is paramount in today's health landscape, and we are proud that the high-quality, high-impact work produced by our world-class teams is making a difference in lives everywhere," said Laura Klein, president of Sharecare's consumer division. "As we continuously challenge ourselves to leverage creativity, innovative approaches, and the latest in technology to empower patients in their health journeys, we take inspiration from the visionary partners who have joined us in our quest to foster healthier communities and populations and ultimately become all together better."

Upon COVID-19 being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, Sharecare adopted a cross-functional approach to meet increased consumer demand for credible information and virtual care tools to manage people's overall well-being. Among the earliest digital health resources launched in response to the pandemic, Sharecare's comprehensive COVID-19 hub and the content housed within it – including its Silver Award-winning interactive global case map and the Merit Award-winning Normal Now video series – are some of the most decorated productions in this year's Spring and Fall Digital Health Awards competitions. In fact, for its news articles, videos, and interactive tools related to COVID-19, Sharecare earned nine Digital Health Awards in 2020 – four in the Spring and another five in the Fall.
