Sharecare introduces new interactive solutions to elevate health literacy and increase condition-specific treatment adherence

Utilizing augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and time-based visualization, Sharecare’s newest innovative tools help life sciences brands engage, educate, and activate patients

ATLANTA, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharecare, the health tech company that helps to improve care quality, drive better outcomes, and lower costs across the healthcare ecosystem, today announced the first two of 10 new innovative solutions designed to engage, educate, and activate patients and providers to better understand health conditions and take meaningful action towards improved health and well-being: AR Wellness Lens and Condition Metamorphosis.

According to the World Health Organization, medication adherence can have a more direct impact on patient outcomes than the specific treatment itself, affecting quality and length of life, health outcomes, and overall healthcare costs. Additionally, nonadherence can account for up to 50% of treatment failures, around 125,000 deaths, and up to 25% of hospitalizations each year in the United States.¹ To support life sciences brands’ 2026 campaigns, these new learning-based solutions from Sharecare utilize augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and time-based visualization to encourage adherence by enabling people to see how a condition impacts affected organs, as well as how a disease evolves over time, both with and without treatment.

“At Sharecare, we are uniquely positioned to elevate patient education by leveraging our differentiating technology assets to create transformative, immersive experiences that are equal parts empowering and engaging,” said Michael Joachim, general manager of Life Sciences at Sharecare. “Kicking off our rollout of 10 new interactive solutions, these two offerings are specifically designed not only to increase patients’ understanding of their condition and how to manage it, but also to highlight the effect that nonadherence to treatment can have on their quality of life.”

AR Wellness Lens
With AR patient education tools proven to improve medication adherence by 33% and reduce anxiety by 30%, Sharecare’s new AR Wellness Lens is an immersive, mobile-exclusive experience that provides users with a deep and relatable understanding of chronic conditions in a way that enhances patient education, drives urgency, and encourages medication adherence. Building on the expertise of the award-winning Sharecare Reality Lab, this innovative solution puts what’s inside the patient into plain view on the outside by superimposing the progression of a disease on affected internal organs² on their own body through the camera of their mobile device. Through this visualization – alongside more information about condition management – individuals can gain a more visceral understanding of chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension. AR Wellness Lens also provides people with the ability to save a photo or video of their potential disease progression to share with their family, friends, or care team to aid in conversations about their health journey.
