SWORD raised $163 million in Series D funding, which allowed for a secondary round where it scooped up another $26 million.

The startup aims to be operating in more than seven countries by the end of 2021. 

This new funding brings the company's total funding pot to $135 million. 

The study found that high-risk patients who used the telehealth consultation feature also had better outcomes than their peers who did not. 

A new study published by JMIR found that on average participants using Hinge Health's platform reported 68.5% improvement in pain. 

The round was led by Khosla Ventures with participation from Founders Fund, Green Innovations, Lachy Groom, Vesalius Biocapital and Faber Ventures. 

The tool gives patients self-paced exercises and allows them to access physical therapists via telemedicine. 

The new round was led by Optum Ventures.
