Sway Medical is an FDA Cleared 510(k) Class II Medical Device that reinvents concussion management by combining objective balance and cognitive testing into a single mobile tool. The platform leverages the built-in motion sensors (accelerometer) of any mobile device (iOS or Android) to measure stability and reaction time, eliminating the need for expensive, bulky platforms like $20,000 force plates.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Objective Testing: Offers over 40 validated tests across Balance (e.g., mBESS), Cognition (e.g., Reaction Time, Memory, Impulse Control, Inspection Time), Function, and Surveys.
- Concussion Management: Provides comprehensive tools for baseline testing, on-field/sideline evaluations (including Red Flags, Maddocks Questions, Glasgow Coma Scale), and post-injury tracking.
- Data & Reporting: Allows for quick comparison of current scores to an athlete's baseline and normative data, generating secure, comprehensive reports.
- Clinical Use: Beyond sports, the platform is used to objectively assess a patient's fall risk, track recovery from injury, and detect instability from medication changes in clinical settings.
Target Users & Use Cases: Sway is used by athletic trainers, team physicians, sports medicine professionals, physical therapists, primary care physicians, and neuropsychologists across thousands of organizations, from high schools and universities to professional sports teams and clinical practices.
