Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced it has completed its acquisition of doc.ai, an enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) platform accelerating digital transformation in healthcare, as announced on January 28, 2021.
Doc.ai co-founders Sam De Brouwer and Walter De Brouwer have been named Sharecare’s new chief strategy officer and chief scientific officer, respectively.
Other members of the doc.ai senior management team also have joined Sharecare’s leadership team, including Nirav Shah as the company’s new chief medical officer and Akshay Sharma, who serves as executive vice president of artificial intelligence. Financial terms of the acquisition of doc.ai were not disclosed.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Sam, Walter, and the entire doc.ai team to Sharecare, where doc.ai’s innovative, privacy-first digital health solutions will be integrated into our flagship platform to enhance our efforts to securely turn data and insights into action,” said Jeff Arnold, founder, chairman, and CEO of Sharecare.
“We look forward to immediately capitalising on shared efforts in verticals like behavioral health – with Unwinding Anxiety and Serenity – and health security – with VERIFIED and Passport.”
As previously announced on February 12, Sharecare has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: FCAC), a special purpose acquisition company.
Upon the closing of that transaction, which is expected in the second quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of Falcon stockholder approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the new company will become Sharecare, Inc. and be listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SHCR. The closing of the acquisition of doc.ai satisfies one of the conditions to closing the merger with Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp.
King & Spalding LLP acted as legal advisor and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as financial advisor to Sharecare for the doc.ai acquisition. L2 Counsel, P.C. acted as legal advisor to doc.ai with regulatory support from Foley & Lardner LLP.
