Meet Thrive Pad: Recovery just got smarter

Pain care has been broken for decades. It relies on medication, sporadic doctor visits, and one-size-fits-all treatments that fail to address the root cause. Too often, people are left to figure out their recovery alone, without the tools or support they need to heal.

At Sword Health, we refuse to accept that. Pain is debilitating, isolating, and expensive—not just for individuals, but for the entire healthcare system. We build solutions that go beyond managing pain to eliminating it. Today, we are making that solution even better.

Introducing the new Thrive Pad, the next evolution in digital physical therapy.

The new Thrive Pad is smarter, more intuitive, and built for real-world recovery. It integrates seamlessly with Thrive, our flagship digital therapy program, unlocking the full power of Phoenix, our AI care agent. With Thrive Pad, members get the most advanced, accessible, and effective pain recovery experience available.

Designed to keep people moving every day

The Thrive Pad builds on the success of our first-generation device. It has already powered millions of therapy sessions and over 500 million minutes of recovery time. That scale gave us real-world insights into what works—and what could be even better.

The result is a more powerful, engaging experience that keeps people on track, builds confidence, and strengthens their progress.

What’s new in the Thrive Pad?

• A bigger, better screen. A 10-inch high-brightness display (previously 8 inches) for improved visibility and engagement.
• Dual wide-angle cameras and smarter motion tracking to capture full-body movement with more precision, even at close range.
• Dual microphones and advanced echo cancellation for crystal clear audio for seamless interaction with Phoenix, even in noisy home environments
• A stand that just works. Redesigned for stability and ease, making setup effortless.

We invested 63% more per device because we prioritize members over margins. While some competitors are cutting physical devices to save costs, we doubled down on innovation—because better tools mean better care.

What’s next?

Thrive Pad is rolling out now and is already changing lives. We are taking a phased approach to ensure we scale it the right way, fine-tune the experience, and maximize its impact.
