This week marked the release of our next-generation Community Well-Being Index (CWBI), developed in partnership with Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). As we reveal our 2019 state well-being rankings, this milestone has special significance as it showcases the evolution of 10 years of well-being measurement at Sharecare. Collectively, the multi-dimensional layering and analysis our teams formulated have resulted in the most expansive, diversified, and dynamic well-being index in the industry; and our sample collection methods have enabled visibility into well-being and social determinant risk for communities not previously included in state rankings, ensuring comprehensive coverage for rural and underserved areas. While 2020 has thrown us challenge after challenge - especially when it comes to health - benchmarking where we were prior to the pandemic is important for a variety of reasons, including understanding how building and maximizing resilience may hold the keys to our recovery and protect us against whatever the future may hold.

In the latest episode of the Healthcare Weekly podcast, Dr. Jud Brewer, our executive medical director of behavioral health, breaks down the physiological and psychological components of cravings, the roles they play in our habits, and how the ubiquity of the smartphone and personalization enabled by our digital programs can help change our relationships with bad habits.

Fraud, waste and abuse is a big issue in healthcare. In fact, it?s a whopping $900 billion problem, and is expected to grow exponentially as the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates the fast-tracking of more and more claims. To help our client partners tackle this problem head-on, we?ve acquired WhiteHatAI, whose AI-driven platform can help our payer and provider clients ensure healthcare payment integrity by detecting and preventing erroneous claims before they occur. During such a critical time in healthcare, we couldn't be more proud to welcome the WhiteHatAI team to the Sharecare family! Check out the announcement to learn more about our 16th acquisition.
