Sharecare: Track Health Goals, Biometrics, and Access Wellness Resources

Sharecare is a health app that helps you take a more active role in your own wellbeing. It brings health tracking, wellness programs, personalized articles, and disease management resources together in one place.

Many employers and health insurance plans offer Sharecare as a free benefit. Some even add rewards, like gift cards or a lower insurance premium, for finishing health activities.

One of Sharecare's best-known features is its RealAge test. This is a science-based questionnaire that estimates your biological age — how old your body actually is, health-wise — compared to your calendar age. It looks at things like your exercise habits, diet, sleep, stress levels, and medical history to give you a personal health age. Many people find it motivating to see how lifestyle changes can lower their RealAge over time.

The app also has a daily habit tracker where you can log steps, water intake, sleep, meals, mindfulness, and other healthy habits. Sharecare connects with wearables like Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, so your activity data comes in automatically. No manual logging needed.

If you're managing a chronic condition like diabetes, heart disease, or COPD, Sharecare offers dedicated programs with educational content, tracking tools, and coaching. These programs help most if you want guidance between doctor visits on managing your day-to-day health.

If your employer or insurance plan includes Sharecare, many premium features are free to you. Check with your HR department or insurance provider to see if Sharecare is part of your benefits before creating a personal account.
