Digital healthcare firm Sharecare will begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday (2 July) after completing a merger Thursday (1 July) with Falcon Capital Acquisition (FCAC).

Under the terms of the deal, Sharecare receives $571m in gross proceeds intended for investment in future growth. Based in Atlanta, Sharecare operates a digital platform that enables people to connect with doctors, insurance companies, and employer benefits providers with an all-in-one app.
