Innovation changes nothing if it doesn’t put people first, and spark them.
People talk a lot about the ‘sick care’ system. What they are referring to is the way healthcare is delivered today. A fragmented, reactionary, system that delivers high cost but little value. When it comes to seniors, the current system has failed them far too long. And we let them.
What if there was a different experience? An alternative that is proactive, preventive, community-based, and longitudinal. One that harnesses big data and AI to truly understand a person’s entire ecosystem, addresses social determinants of health, and connects them to wellness not more reactive care. And works with payors and health systems to help them better understand their populations (not just the sickest of sick) and deliver value-based care.
COVID-19 has provided the accelerant for a firestorm that has been brewing for years. Because of it, health care systems are forced to make dramatic adjustments to how they deliver care and payors are speeding up strategies that deliver value and lower cost. Who can they trust to help them do this? Should they do it on their own? Can organizations partner to change the human services ecosystem? Is there data that supports this possibility?
Funny you should ask, perhaps it's time to have that conversation….with Lifespark.
"The Lifespark model is a window into what the $200 billion-dollar in-home senior care market will look like a few years from now."

While others have been talking about transforming the trillion-dollar aging market, few are actually doing it. And even fewer are proving it.
We’ve focused our conversation and actions on forging partnerships to better serve seniors with a whole person client-for-life focus. We are investing in innovative technology platforms that break down the siloed walls within the ‘sick care’ system to deliver value that matters to everyone – health systems, payors, and most importantly, the client at the center of it all. Data gathered helps us understand the metrics needed to build strategies that focus on wellness.
It's the old adage ‘if you build it, they will come’ with a twist, ‘if you build it, they will stay.’ When people feel supported by their health system or insurance plan they will stay and live better. Building a better overall system is a win-win-win.
But we caution those who try to do this alone – isolation is fatal. To create the coveted ‘value’ we all seek, partnering is the game-changer.
Created by Lifespark with the support of our partners, this tiny house-on-wheels reflects the spirit of giving and receiving that is so vital to the health and wellbeing of our communities. With this open house we listen, learn, and close the gaps in our communities.
