CHICAGO, IL, USA: The American Dental Association (ADA) has joined forces with Sharecare, a new online resource that invites the public to submit health-related questions and have them answered by health professionals. The website was created by Mehmet Oz, MD, a physician who first began fielding questions on The Oprah Show and now hosts The Dr. Oz Show, and Jeff Arnold, founder of WebMD.
Investors include Harpo Productions, which produces Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, and Discovery Communications. Sharecare’s goal is to provide accurate, clear and concise health information from multiple points of view. The website is located at www.sharecare.com.
“Sharecare’s partnership with the American Dental Association completes a necessary circle in total health as we learn more and more the importance of oral health in overall wellness,” Dr Oz said. “Sharecare will provide a platform for the American Dental Association to provide essential information from multiple points of view and provide consumers with vital resources.”
The ADA will be a leading resource for the oral health content on the site, which launched in 2010, answering questions and providing information about various topics. The ADA will join other top health associations currently on the site as Sharecare resources, including the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, the American Association of Retired Persons, American Diabetes Association and several leading hospitals.
“In Sharecare, we saw the opportunity to bring the voice of the ADA and dentists to millions of people, providing them with the most credible and trustworthy oral health information there is and helping them achieve optimal oral health,” said Dr. Raymond F. Gist, ADA president.
The Sharecare platform not only will provide the credible oral health perspective from the ADA, but links to ADA.org (www.ada.org) to expand upon answers and guide people to the in-depth dental health information resources of the ADA.
Oral health will be among 48 topics covered on the site. Consumers can also ask questions pertaining to cancers, fitness and exercise and mental health among many other areas.
ADA and Sharecare will immediately collaborate to add ADA answers to visitor questions about oral health and dental care.
Sharecare was founded in 2009 and is based in Atlanta. Its mission is to greatly simplify the search for high-quality healthcare information and answer the world’s questions about health.
