About Sword Health

Sword is building the future of healthcare through AI Care, a field we pioneered that brings together Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Experts to tackle healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks - access, outcomes, and cost. The result is a world where clinicians are able to focus on what they do best - handling nuance, providing empathy, and delivering the human touch -, while AI focuses on delivering hyper-personalized treatment programs, ensuring scalability, and being available 24/7 so that healthcare meets the needs of the patient, not the other way around.

Our platform spans the full continuum of care, from predicting and preventing pain, to treating physical and mental health, and optimizing healthcare operations.

We are trusted by over 2,000 organizations globally, across employers, health plans, and governments, having helped our clients generate over $1 billion in healthcare savings, largely by avoiding unnecessary procedures, such as surgeries, imaging, ER visits, and others.

We’re backed by some of the world’s most seasoned investors, such as Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Founders Fund and others, and currently valued at $4B.

We believe in - and are building toward - a world where AI Care is within arm’s reach of every human. If this mission inspires you, join us in building that future: https://swordhealth.com/company/careers.
