SWORD Health

SWORD Health is the FDA-cleared sensor-driven digital physical therapy platform. Founded in 2015 in Porto, Portugal, SWORD Health combines proprietary motion sensors with licensed PT supervision to deliver in-clinic-quality care via a digital-first model. The platform serves thousands of employer and health plan partners covering millions of members across the US and Europe. The technical differentiator versus Hinge Health and Kaia Health is the sensor-driven approach. Where competitors use the smartphone camera for motion tracking, SWORD ships hardware kits with multi-sensor systems that strap to the body during exercises. The sensors capture millimeter-precision motion data, allowing the licensed PT supervising the user to see exact range-of-motion, joint angles, and exercise compliance in clinical-grade detail. The product line spans three indications. MSK is the core product covering back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, and other major MSK conditions. Bloom is the dedicated women's-health product delivering pelvic floor rehabilitation for postpartum recovery, urinary incontinence, prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain. Atlas supports post-surgical rehab for specific surgical indications including knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, and rotator cuff repair. Mind is the behavioral-health add-on addressing chronic-pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression that often accompany chronic MSK pain. Every SWORD member is paired with a licensed physical therapist who reviews their progress, adjusts exercise programs, and intervenes when issues arise. The PT-to-member ratio is higher than typical in-clinic PT but the workflow stays clinical-grade because the sensor data provides objective measurement that human-only assessment couldn't match.
