UpSwing Health

Upswing Health operates a virtual musculoskeletal care service for people experiencing muscle and joint pain. Its website presents an AI-powered symptom assessment tool intended to identify the likely cause of a user's pain and route them to an appropriate level of care, positioned as an alternative to waiting for an in-person doctor visit.

Care delivery combines technology with a clinical team. Licensed athletic trainers provide injury support, education and personalized exercise programs, typically connecting with users by text message within minutes of intake. Board-certified orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians provide virtual diagnosis, imaging orders and treatment oversight. The company states that most members recover through its virtual rehabilitation programs led by licensed athletic trainers, and that it coordinates referrals to physical therapists, imaging centers or orthopedic specialists when in-person care is required. Intake collects the user's name as listed on a benefit card, date of birth, email and mobile number, with consent to telehealth terms.
