Our take
For a number of reasons including cost, only about 30% of patients complete their physical therapy regimens. This results in millions of people not receiving the full breadth of care they need to reach full recovery. And physical therapy practices are missing out on a massive amount of revenue potential.
SWORD Health’s clinical-grade virtual therapy platform pairs physical therapists with FDA-listed wearable technology to deliver personalised treatment plans that are more effective, easier and less expensive than traditional physical therapy. This encourages patients to complete their regimes and allows practices to bolster their income.
The company works with international insurers, health systems and employers, with clients from the Fortune 100 and 500 lists. It is the fastest-growing MSK company and a double-Unicorn, now valued at $4 billion. With a rapidly growing US market, it's using impressive funding to continue its foundational AI model development and expand into ever more areas of healthcare.
