Advancing Mental Health Through Real-World Research & Innovative Care
When Science Embraces Real Life—Healing Begins
Bridging research, care, and lived experience to transform outcomes in neuroimmune psychiatric disorders. We connect real-world insight to the natural history of illness, helping drive more precise science, more equitable care models, and smarter systems of support.
What We Do
We are strategy and management consultants who support and connect the people driving innovation in mental health. With 15+ years in academic medical centers and over a decade of direct systems experience, we understand both the challenges of research and the realities of care delivery.
Our Services
Real-World Study Design Support
Provider–Researcher Integration Programs
Provider–Researcher Integration Programs
We help researchers design and implement studies that reflect the complexity of real life—not just controlled lab settings. Our goal is to ensure research leads to meaningful improvements in how people are diagnosed, treated, and supported across systems.

We support therapists, psychiatrists, and other frontline professionals in contributing to research—so their insights shape new discoveries and help bring science back to the point of care.
Custom Data Tools & Workflows
Provider–Researcher Integration Programs
Custom Data Tools & Workflows
We design custom tools and data systems with direct input from providers, researchers, patients, and staff. Our solutions simplify participation in research, streamline data collection, and support tracking outcomes—without disrupting care delivery or day-to-day operations.
The Case for Natural History
Despite decades of study, we still lack longitudinal, real-world data on psychiatric illness—especially in immune-involved, neurodevelopmental, and trauma-linked conditions. Most research captures only short-term snapshots, missing the dynamic and evolving nature of mental illness.
This gap creates bottlenecks across care and discovery:
- Delayed diagnosis despite early symptom onset
- No biomarkers for targeted treatment or monitoring
- Underrepresented populations and limited trial endpoints
- Evidence gaps that stall clinical adoption and policy change
- Trauma’s measurable effects on immune, metabolic, and neural systems remain under-tracked
This is where Sparks Healthcare Solutions comes in: turning complexity into actionable study designs, tools, and collaborations that accelerate discovery and translate directly to care.

Whether you need expert consulting or want to collaborate through the Neuroimmune Research Consortium, Sparks helps bridge vision to impact.
The Neuroimmune Research Consortium
Mental health research remains fragmented—especially for psychiatric conditions with immune, biologic, or multisystem components. As a result, we lack a true understanding of how illness evolves over time.
The Neuroimmune Research Consortium (NRC) is a separate but aligned initiative incubated by Sparks Healthcare Solutions. Its mission is to aggregate the natural history of mental illness—building the scientific foundation for better diagnostics, more targeted care, and true mental health parity.
By bridging disciplines and removing systemic barriers, the NRC helps translate discovery into real-world impact.
What We Strive For
A world where mental and physical health are treated with equal importance—free of stigma—and a future where every person suffering from a mental illness receives the care they need to heal and thrive, regardless of complexity or circumstance.
