New York-based Swoop announced on January 7 its acquisition of MyHealthTeam for an undisclosed price.
MyHealthTeam is the creator of one of the largest and highly engaged patient social networks in healthcare, offering more than 62 condition-specific communities to support patients with chronic and rare conditions. These platforms empower millions of opted-in patients nationwide to connect, share resources and access medically verified information to better manage their health.
Swoop provides artificial intelligence-driven, precision healthcare omnichannel solutions dedicated to protecting consumer privacy and improving patient outcomes.
“We acquired MyHealthTeam – a leading opted-in patient universe – because of their adept ability to build trusted, condition-specific patient communities at scale,” said Ron Elwell, Founder and CEO of Swoop. “This acquisition builds on our already strong position as an industry leader in patient-centric marketing. By strategically ‘bookending’ privacy-compliant marketing, we will be able to provide even further value to pharma brands and patients.”
“More than anything else, our members facing chronic and rare conditions want to know what’s coming around the next corner and how they can best prepare for it,” said Eric Peacock, Co-founder and CEO of MyHealthTeam. “They connect and chat with other members, they consume the medically-approved articles and videos we create for them, and now we can bring Swoop’s vast depth of claims data, machine learning and AI capabilities to bear in delivering them information that is personalized based on where they are in their patient journey. You will be seeing us launch communities in many more conditions this year.”
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition represents the seventh eHealth transaction of 2025, and the first in the patient engagement specialty. There were 33 patient engagement deals announced during 2024, 17 announced during 2023 and 43 announced during 2022.
