Upswing Health offers a novel approach to orthopedic care, combining AI-driven symptom assessment with virtual consultations from orthopedic specialists. Their process begins with an AI tool to identify potential conditions, followed by a consultation with an Upswing Coach (Certified Athletic Trainer). If necessary, patients are then connected with board-certified orthopedic physicians. The service culminates in a personalized recovery plan, which may include exercises, X-rays, or referrals to physical therapy. Upswing Health works with employers and health plans, and also offers self-pay options for individuals seeking affordable care for muscle and joint pain.
