    Dr. Michael Roizen answered:

    Sharecare is to me what a great dog or best friend is, but one with expertise on all subjects, not just a provider of comfort and stress relief.

    This trusted source will help me to find answers to health questions (note: not just medical, but Wellness, with a capital W, as that’s how you stay healthy enough to avoid the medical system for longer than your dog’s grandchildren would be around).

    So when I want to find out how good the data is on Irvingia Gabonensis causing weight loss or the impact of HDL increases I can ask Sharecare. And bingo—if the answer isn’t there, they find the answer for me from some of the best experts in the world. Try doing that on a search engine. With the launch of Sharecare, I’m looking forward to finding even better answers, and with interactive videos that show me mechanisms. Yep, I can be a better doc, and a smarter consumer with Sharecare. It means a trusted best friend with expertise and to know for sure what is best for my health.
