HealthSparq is a Nashville, Tennessee-based private company founded in 2012 that operates in the healthcare navigation platform market. It serves health plan organizations and their members, addressing the navigation challenges members face when seeking appropriate care providers and services. The company positions itself to help people make smarter health care choices, occupying the member-engagement layer between payers and providers. It is one of three named key players in the Healthcare Navigation Platform Market alongside Accolade and Evive, in a market projected to experience strong growth through 2033.

Specific information on HealthSparq's product surface, technical architecture, or feature set is not detailed in the available sources. The company is identified as a market participant in the healthcare navigation segment, but the inputs do not provide granularity on proprietary technology, claims or provider data integrations, API surface, or platform architecture. No AI/ML functionality, EHR integration details, or platform-module descriptors specific to HealthSparq are documented; the AI and integration evidence in the source pool relates to Kyruus Health, a separate entity.

HealthSparq's revenue mechanics, contract structure, and ownership are not publicly disclosed in the available sources. The company operates with 51-100 employees in a single vertical (health plans), consistent with a B2B platform posture serving enterprise payer accounts, though no specific pricing model, customer count, or revenue concentration is evidenced. No funding history, ownership structure, parent company, or investor information is documented. Leadership disclosure in the input is limited to a single named executive (Todd Petersen, Vice President of Sales); broader management-team composition is not provided.
