On the heels of the 38th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, the Observer has announced the hottest Flyover Tech Companies in Digital Health naming Lifespark as one of the top 20. Coined by the Observer, flyover companies describe the Middle America disruptors and Lifespark is thrilled to be part of that list representing Minnesota. Breaking down the ‘sick care’ systems through partnerships with large health care players and payors and our data-driven tech-enabled alternative delivery system.

*Note: one correction to this article, Lifespark’s capital raised reported number should be 2019 revenue, not capital raised
