Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sway Medical develops software that turns consumer mobile devices into assessment instruments for concussion management, balance, cognition and functional movement. The platform uses the sensors built into a phone or tablet — including the accelerometer — to measure postural stability and movement through three-dimensional space, removing the need for force platforms, harnesses or manual error counting. Sway is registered as an FDA-cleared Class II medical device.
The product spans more than 40 tests across four categories: balance, cognition (covering visual processing speed, neuromotor response, inhibition control, memory and executive function), function, and more than 30 surveys and questionnaires such as an 18-question symptom survey, Red Flags, Maddocks, Observable Signs, Glasgow Coma Scale and cervical spine screens. Users can apply pre-defined protocols drawn from a library of 50+ tests or build custom protocols for a specific patient population. Platform features include downloadable and shareable reports with direct EMR integrations, remote testing via individual and group codes, and HIPAA and FERPA compliance.
Business model
Sway sells access to its assessment platform to sports and clinical organizations through a sales-led process, with prospects routed to a sales team via demo requests and contact forms.

The company states that more than 5,000 organizations use Sway, with users spanning US and international athletic trainers as well as clinics and health systems. Over 60 third-party peer-reviewed research studies have been completed on the platform.

Market position
Sway positions itself against established concussion and balance assessment tools including ImPACT, SCAT5, C3Logix, King-Devick, force platforms and computerized cognitive batteries, citing more than 60 third-party peer-reviewed studies conducted on its platform and use by over 5,000 organizations.
Technology
Patented mobile software that uses the sensors already present in a smartphone or tablet to measure stability, alongside accelerometer-based capture of movement in three dimensions for functional assessments. The platform is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device and is built with HIPAA- and FERPA-compliant security layers.
Go-to-market
Sway markets directly to athletic trainers and clinical buyers, offering a free 15-minute demo conducted by a former athletic trainer in which prospects take a live baseline test on their own phone. The site supports this with customer case studies from school districts, universities and health systems, and positions the product as a replacement for incumbent tools such as ImPACT, SCAT5, C3Logix, King-Devick, force platforms and CBS.
Athletic trainers and sports medicine staff at high schools, school districts, universities and health systems, plus physical therapists and other healthcare providers in clinics.
