Alight Expands Partner Network With the Addition of Sword Health

Access to Sword Health’s musculoskeletal (MSK) and mental health AI care solutions are expected to provide employer cost savings and improve employee wellbeing through Alight Worklife®

Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, today announced the addition of Sword Health, a musculoskeletal and mental health AI care platform, to its Alight Partner Network.

"The Alight Partner Network delivers a range of fully integrated solutions that differentiates the benefits experience for participants and HR programs," said Missy Van Brocklin, Vice President of Partners at Alight. "The addition of Sword to the Alight Worklife platform gives employees the tools to address their personalized MSK and mental health needs while simultaneously helping employers drive both savings and improved outcomes for their employee populations."

Helping employees overcome physical pain and avoid surgery

Sword Health is an AI care platform that delivers always-on, clinical-grade care across a number of health conditions. The MSK platform offers three specialized care delivery solutions:

  • Thrive – Chronic pain care, providing targeted interventions for employees dealing with persistent MSK conditions.
  • Move – Pain prevention and injury avoidance, designed to help at-risk employees create movement habits.
  • Bloom – Pelvic health care for women in every life stage, addressing a critical but often overlooked silent problem.

Helping employees address behavioral health and build mental resilience

Sword Health’s AI care solutions address behavioral health as well:

  • Mind – Mental health care through AI-therapy led by licensed Psychologists and enhanced by biometric data.

Sword’s commitment to clinical excellence ensures members work exclusively with physical therapy doctors throughout their care journey. The platform integrates advanced technology, including FDA-listed devices with 10-inch displays, dual cameras, and real-time biofeedback powered by computer vision. Each member follows a personalized program, with clinical protocols adjusted after every session based on progress and needs.

Sword has delivered over $1 billion in savings through lower healthcare costs, with clients achieving an average ROI of 2.7x-3.7x within 12 months. Sword’s outcome-based pricing model ties 50% of fees to clinical outcomes, with an annual fee capped at $799 per member per year across all participants.

"We're excited to partner with Alight to bring our clinically validated MSK solutions to their extensive client base," said Charles Cuzzell, SVP of Health Plans & Partnerships at Sword. "Our outcome-based pricing model and category-leading ROI align with Alight's commitment to delivering better outcomes and financial results for employers and their people. Together, we can help employers address one of their most significant cost drivers while improving employee quality of life through personalized, clinician-led MSK care."

The Alight Partner Network enhances employers’ ability to extend health, wealth, and wellbeing offerings through the Alight Worklife® platform. For more information on the Alight Partner Network, visit alight.com.
