Each member follows a personalized program, with clinical protocols adjusted after every session based on progress and needs.

Sword has delivered over $1 billion in savings through lower healthcare costs, with clients achieving an average ROI of 2.7x-3.7x within 12 months. Sword’s outcome-based pricing model ties 50% of fees to clinical outcomes, with an annual fee capped at $799 per member per year across all participants.
