Public factsAI-enabled digital PT and whole-person programs
Digital physical therapy and broader AI Care programs (women’s health, cardiometabolic, mental health) pairing licensed clinicians with an AI Care Specialist.
Overview
Sword Health markets whole-person AI Care. The core MSK offer is digital physical therapy that pairs a human clinical specialist with an AI Care Specialist. Additional programs named on the homepage: women’s health from fertility to menopause; continuous cardiometabolic care for blood pressure, weight, glucose, and cholesterol; and psychologist-led mental-health AI Care. Buyer types include health plans, employers, individuals, and labor unions. Public metrics include 3:1 average client gross ROI (trailing 12-month contractual guarantees), $3,177 annual member savings (Risk Strategies Consulting, June 2024), and surgery-intent and pain outcomes from Sword’s October 2024 member base.
