    Download the app and check your benefits

    ~34s
    Search for "Sharecare" in the App Store or Google Play and install the free app. Before creating a personal account, check with your employer's HR department or your health insurance provider to find out if you have access to Sharecare through your benefits. If you do, sign up using the code or link provided by your employer or insurer to unlock the full program at no cost.

    Quick Tip

    If your employer offers Sharecare, you may earn points or rewards for completing health activities within the app. These rewards often convert to gift cards or discounts on insurance premiums — check with your HR department for specifics.

    2

    Take the RealAge test

    ~25s
    After logging in, find and tap the RealAge test from the home screen or the health assessment section. The test takes about 10 to 15 minutes and asks questions about your lifestyle, medical history, medications, and habits. At the end, you receive your biological age estimate and a personalized list of steps that could help lower your biological age over time. The results also give you a roadmap for discussing prioritized health improvements with your doctor.

    Connect your devices and apps

    ~20s
    Tap "Settings" or "Connected Devices" in the app and link your fitness tracker or smartwatch if you have one. Sharecare connects with Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin, Google Fit, and other platforms. Once connected, your steps, activity, and sleep data flow in automatically each day. You can also manually log activities that a device cannot detect, like swimming or strength training.

    Set and track daily health goals

    ~30s
    Tap the "My Goals" or "Daily Habits" section and choose goals to work on — for example, walking 7,500 steps a day, drinking eight glasses of water, sleeping at least seven hours, or meditating for ten minutes. The app will track each goal and show you a streak counter to help you build consistent habits. You can adjust goals as your fitness improves.

    Quick Tip

    Start with one or two goals rather than trying to change everything at once. Building one solid habit first makes it more likely you will stick with the change long-term.

    5

    Explore chronic condition programs if applicable

    ~31s
    If you manage a chronic condition like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma, tap the "Programs" or "Health Coaching" section to find a dedicated program for your condition. These programs include daily check-ins, educational articles, tracking tools for relevant biometrics, and in some cases access to health coaches by phone or chat. Use these resources between doctor visits to stay on top of your health between appointments.

    Warning

    Sharecare programs provide educational support, not medical advice. Always discuss significant changes to your health management with your doctor before making them, especially if you take prescription medications.

    Sharecare is a digital health platform that helps people take a more active role in managing their overall wellbeing. The app brings together health tracking, wellness programs, personalized content, and disease management resources in one place. Many employers and health insurance plans offer Sharecare as part of their wellness benefits, sometimes with incentives like gift cards or lower insurance premiums for completing health activities.

    One of Sharecare's most well-known features is its RealAge test — a scientifically validated questionnaire that estimates your biological age (how old your body actually is in terms of health) compared to your calendar age. The RealAge test looks at factors like your exercise habits, diet, sleep, stress levels, and medical history to give you a personalized health age. Many people are motivated by seeing how lifestyle changes can lower their RealAge over time.

    The app also has a daily habit tracking section where you can log steps, water intake, sleep, meals, mindfulness, and other healthy behaviors. Sharecare connects with wearables like Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, so your activity data can flow in automatically without manual logging.

    For people managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or COPD, Sharecare offers dedicated programs with educational content, tracking tools, and coaching resources. These programs are particularly valuable for people who want guidance between doctor visits on managing their day-to-day health.

    If your employer or insurance plan includes Sharecare, many of the premium features are available to you at no additional cost. Check with your HR department or insurance provider to see if Sharecare is part of your benefits package before creating a personal account.
