INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Sword Health, a startup operating out of Portugal that has developed a digital physiotherapy solution to enable patients to be treated
remotely in their own homes, has raised $4.6 million in seed funding
Backing the round is Green Innovations, Vesalius Biocapital III, and other unnamed investors in the U.S
and Europe.The company says it will use the new capital, which adds to an earlier ~$1.2 million grant from the European Commission, to
scalable, in recognition that there is a worldwide shortage of physiotherapists
What I realised then (and this is still true now) is that there is a huge gap between the demand for physical therapy and our ability, as a
rehabilitation industry has not changed in the last 50 years
competitors, Bento argues that the majority of health tech companies are focused on developing technologies that improve the one-to-one
patient therapist interaction (e.g., Tyromotion, Hocoma)
conceded that there are other startups trying to create a digital therapist
