About Upswing Health:
Upswing Health is a healthcare startup founded by orthopedic surgeons to solve the waste and inefficiency of America’s multi-billion-dollar crisis in MSK care with a radical re-reinvention of the delivery system – for individuals and employers. Upswing replaces the current model which forces the injured with limited access to struggle through time-consuming and costly options for their care. Upswing’s digital platform replaces that broken system with a better way using a proprietary AI-driven symptom assessment tool that rapidly triages patients to an Upswing coach as the virtual front door to MSK care. This alone resolves nearly 80% of all cases; for those with more complex problems, a telehealth visit with an orthopedic specialist is arranged within 24 hours. Further, Upswing’s motion capture technology analyzes a patient’s baseline functional level, and tracks their improvement over time, which reinforces Upswing’s model of efficacy, to both users and customers. Patients stay in Upswing’s ecosystem for the entirety of their journey – from injury to full recovery. For more information on Upswing Health, please visit: http://www.upswinghealth.com.
