Last week we announced the new Thrive Pad: today we’re unveiling what it means to our customers. At Sword, we take Health seriously: and don’t believe it should be handled by simple app-based videos. The power of Sword lies in being the only ones that manage to leverage and combine AI’s capabilities with Human Clinicians and Purpose-built hardware. That’s why we created the new Thrive Pad: more than an upgrade, it is a revolutionary device designed to unleash the full potential of Phoenix, our AI Care Agent, with a technology that allows our customers to benefit from a world-class Physical Therapy experience, from wherever suits them best. Combining: ? Multi-camera system, for precise movement analysis ? Two-way communication, with enhanced audio & microphone ? Larger display & powerful new chipset for an immersive, real-time experience Our commitment is simple: Patients first. This is the Sword way.

Let’s talk about women’s health. While so much progress has been made, there’s still so much work to do. Women’s health remains underfunded, overlooked, and long overdue for change. It’s time to rethink it. That’s why our own Marta Cardeano, SVP of AI Care Delivery Solutions, is working to shift the status quo, and the narrative. Because when women get the care they deserve, everyone benefits. In honor of #InternationalWomensDay tomorrow, let’s turn awareness into action with Bloom. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gX3ijtkh

Reflecting on the Journey... From the moment I joined Sword Health, I was struck by our commitment to tackling the challenges others avoid. All in pursuit of what truly matters: delivering the best possible experience for our members. Chronic pain is often called the “hidden epidemic.” A recent New York Times article (???? ????????????????) highlights how millions suffer in silence every day, their pain ignored or brushed aside. But at Thrive, we refuse to accept pain as a way of life. ???? ???????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ????????????????. We’re not just piecing together an app. We’ve built cutting-edge technology that drives real results. It’s not easy, and it’s not cheap, but it works. And that’s what matters. We see the difference it makes in our members’ progress every day. ???? ??????’?? ???????? ?? ????????????????. We don’t use AI to replace the human touch we use it to enhance it. It tracks progress, provides real-time insights, and ensures members receive the best care possible at scale. ???????????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ????????: Our Doctors of Physical Therapy are actively involved in every member’s progress, reviewing their journey and making key decisions. Our tech amplifies their ability to deliver better care, track progress more precisely, and drive results. ???? ?????????? ???????? ???????? ???? ??????????????. Chronic pain isn’t something people should just “live with,” and it’s certainly not something we’re willing to ignore. Our members are at the core of everything we do. In fact, if they don’t improve, we don’t get paid. Simple. I’m incredibly proud to be part of a company that refuses to take shortcuts—that steps into the toughest spaces to deliver best-in-class care. We could’ve chosen an easier path. But at Sword Health, we believe doing what’s right isn’t always easy or convenient. It’s just worth it. Because our mission isn’t just to build a product—it’s to change lives.

Today marks 3 years (or 1,095 days) as Chief Medical Officer at Sword Health. Should I list 1,095 reasons why I believe in our work? Tempting but, to spare your screens, I’ll keep it to three. 1) A mission with impact. Every day, we are reshaping the way Care is delivered. As a neurosurgeon, I have seen firsthand the consequences of unnecessary surgeries, procedures that could have been avoided with the right intervention. At Sword, we are proving that evidence-based, non-invasive care can change lives. 2) Innovation with purpose. Sword is redefining healthcare by combining clinical expertise with advanced AI. This integration allows us to deliver scalable, high-quality care that challenges outdated treatment models and improves patient outcomes. ? 3) A team driven by excellence. The dedication of my colleagues - clinicians, engineers, and leaders alike - ensures that we are not only advancing healthcare but also setting a new standard for how it should be practiced. Three years in, our commitment to transforming care has never been stronger. The work continues, and I am more motivated than ever to drive meaningful change.

As we enter #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, let’s challenge misconceptions and highlight real solutions. ?? Learn more about how Bloom is supporting women’s health:?https://lnkd.in/gX3ijtkh
