tell you about your health. Each voice has a unique identifier - called a fractal pattern that reveals a lot about your mindset and stress. Earlier this year, we launched a smartphone app that “samples” and analyzes your unique pattern (not your conversation) during phone calls, enabling us to determine your mindset and stress level with the same clinical accuracy as a functional MRI. While the technology is cool, what’s profound is the self-awareness it yields, which we believe helps both reduce stress and improve relationships. To test this theory further, we partnered with Georgia Tech’s Human Computing Lab and Dr. Sanjay Gupta on an adaptive trial in which several organizations (Trinity Health and Univision, to name two examples) have invited their populations to participate. While we’re still in the throes of the trial, we’re learning that over time, the voice is the truth and - in many ways - the key to unlocking better health. What’s the end goal for Sharecare? Healthcare is in the midst of an incredible transformation – and we can learn a lot from companies outside of health that harness data analytics and personalization to create a de facto “profile” for consumers. That kind of predictive personalization is powerful. Soon, Sharecare will enable people to store, share and access all of their health information in one place – and that will be a game changer.
