Our History
Sway was founded by a group of athletes and sports enthusiasts with a goal to improve athlete healthcare management through more accessible means. The problem within sports was clear, far too many head injuries went unnoticed and untreated. From youth sports and high schools, to colleges, club sports, and professional teams. Athletic trainers for these organizations didn’t have the tools to quickly identify, track and treat head injuries in a cost effective, efficient, and comprehensive way. Sway set its early sights to solve this pervasive problem in a simple, yet powerful way; use the mobile devices that athletic trainers and athletes already own for baseline testing, sideline assessments, and post-injury evaluation through an ever-growing battery of balance, cognitive, and functional assessments. Our simple, easy and accessible mobile tests has been administered over 1.5 million times and objectively identified thousands of head injuries that could have gone untreated. The use case of Sway's assessments doesn’t stop with athletes. The company now continues to evolve its platform and technology to be applied in a variety of healthcare settings in need of accessible and easy-to-use, balance, cognitive, and functional assessment tools.
