Team RWB, the U.S.’s leading community of 200,000 veterans, has partnered with Sword Health to launch the Sword Foundation. This foundation aims to provide high-quality care to underserved communities and advance pain research. Sword Health, known for its pioneering work in AI Care, has taken a significant step towards its mission of freeing two billion people from pain by establishing this foundation.
The Sword Foundation will focus on improving health inequities by bringing Sword Health’s innovative AI Care platform to underserved communities. With billions of people worldwide suffering from various types of pain, the foundation’s goal is to provide access to high-quality care to those who do not have it. By partnering with non-profit organizations, Sword Health will offer its solutions at no cost to community organizations representing the underserved in the U.S.
Virgilio “V” Bento, the founder and CEO of Sword Health, emphasized the importance of equal access to care and research in the field of pain. The Sword Foundation’s launch partner, Team RWB, is a health and wellness community for U.S. military veterans. Research has shown that chronic pain is more prevalent among American veterans than the general population, making this partnership crucial in providing support and resources to veterans dealing with chronic pain.
In addition to providing access to care, Sword Health is committed to advancing scientific research around pain. The Sword Foundation introduced the Horizon Award, which recognizes groundbreaking scientific discoveries in the field of pain. The first award was given to Christophe Tanguay-Sabourin for his research on developing a prognostic risk score for chronic pain, utilizing AI/ML technology. This award highlights the importance of research and technology in improving pain treatment outcomes.
The Horizon Award jury, consisting of leading experts in the field of pain, will continue to identify significant contributions to advancing scientific knowledge and improving patient outcomes. By supporting cutting-edge research and technical development, the Sword Foundation aims to solve the global crisis of pain and improve the lives of those suffering from chronic pain.
Sword Health’s commitment to providing high-quality care and advancing pain research through the Sword Foundation demonstrates its dedication to making a positive impact on global health. With a mission to free two billion people from pain, Sword Health continues to lead the way in AI Care and innovative healthcare solutions.
