Artemis partners with Sword to help employers expand access to MSK care

(SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Feb 1, 2023) — Artemis by Nomi Health, a best-in-class benefits analytics platform, today announced a partnership with Sword Health, the world’s fastest-growing digital musculoskeletal (MSK) company to more than 1,400 employers tackling one of the top three cost claims for employers.

As part of the partnership, Artemis clients will be able to evaluate their need for musculoskeletal care within their population and seamlessly add Sword Health services to their benefits offering through their existing contract with Artemis.

“It is almost unbelievable when we hear that half of Americans suffer from MSK conditions,” said Sanjay Motwani, General Manager, Artemis by Nomi Health. “Employers are helping address cost and productivity concerns related to MSK through innovative digital health solutions, and Artemis is helping assess the efficacy of such critical solutions through its analytics platform.”

MSK care costs employers more than mental health and cancer combined, surmounting more than $300 billion annually. Sword Health’s digital solution addresses this pain point by tangibly reducing costs. Via the partnership, Sword Health further drives down costs by providing stronger analytical data on how well their MSK solution works for their clients’ populations.

“We live in a time where many people suffer in silence or prematurely undertake costly procedures, and that doesn’t have to be the case. Whether it is acute or chronic pain, Sword provides a comprehensive solution to create a pain-free and lasting change for the member,” said Dr. Vijay Yanamadala, Chief Medical Officer at Sword Health. “Artemis provides our customers with measurable, quantifiable data that, when combined with Sword’s rigorous data-driven models, allows them to better address their rising MSK spend.”
