THE OFFERING

Sword is MSK care at scale.

We provide health plan solutions with proven clinical outcomes and cost-of-care strategies to serve the diverse needs of your ASO, Fully-Insured, and Medicare Advantage populations.
Clinical-Grade Care

We stand behind our clinical rigor and only use highly trained Doctors of Physical Therapy — never health coaches. We also have the first digital PT sensor technology listed with the FDA as a medical device.

Personalized Experience

Member-centered care plans are tailored to the individual's progress after each session by their PT. The connection built between the member and their PT drives program engagement and adherence.

Access & Convenience

Members are provided access to convenient care without geographic, economic, and scheduling limitations. 48% of sessions occur after “business hours” and on weekends. PTs consistently check in to answer questions and provide motivation.

Coordinated Plan of Care

We act as an extension of your clinical care and concierge service. By working directly with you and providers, members experience a seamless care ecosystem.

Health Plan Expertise

We know health plans and the often complex and challenging integration needs. We have a team dedicated to providing a frictionless experience for your business.

Elevating Your Product Offers

Sword allows you to deliver a meaningful solution and competitive differentiator while addressing one of the leading drivers of claims cost.

Sword360

Sword360 is a data integration platform that leverages an industry-leading secure gateway system, enables bi-directional data sharing, and connects stakeholders across a member’s health and wellness experience.

Sensor Technology
Our sensors are used on all joints to ensure precise data capture and real-time feedback to keep members adherent. Feedback allows PTs to tailor the program based on the member's progress after each session. Without sensors, programs couldn’t be updated with real data. This is what true customization looks like.

Partnership for a Better Future

We stand by our commitment to always be learning and innovating. In service to our mission, we are the only digital MSK solution to have partnered with the American Physical Therapy Association to promote research and access to more equitable and inclusive care in physical therapy.

WHY SWORD

We don't take shortcuts.

These core principles are what we stand for, what will never change, and what drives our people and business forward.

People Over Profit

We take a members-first approach to everything we do, from our PT-to-member ratio to our On-Call clinical support. Our members always feel connected. We use technology and data so that our PTs can enhance each member's program after every session. No automated playlists, blanket programs, or unqualified health coaches. Just real PTs, real people, real progress.

Industry Innovators

We’ve led the way. As leaders in the digital MSK space, we’ve consistently been the first to create clinical solutions that deliver a better way to treat pain. From our Digital Therapist to our launch of the first digital Pelvic Health solution, we’re just getting started.

Clinical Integrity

We work with evidence. That means our solutions aren’t based on hunches or simply following trends—they’re clinically-backed solutions borne out of data and research. We continue to earn the trust of our customers because the data doesn’t lie—our solutions work.

People come first

The proof is in the results.
