Sword Health launches bloom: a new pelvic pain product

SWORD Health has launched Bloom, a physical therapy product aimed at women struggling with pelvic pain

Bloom is a clinical-grade digital solution aimed at women’s physical health issues. It will help to provide non-invasive care for neglected health issues such as pelvic pain or postpartum recovery. Worldwide, The rates of chronic pelvic pain for women of childbearing age range from 14 per cent to 32 per cent globally.

It includes a sensor that will measure the pressure and stamina of a person’s pelvic floor while connecting to an app so that users can receive feedback on their exercises. Patients will then be paired with a pelvic health specialist who will guide them through exercises or tailor the program to suit their needs.

It is hoped that Bloom will help to reduce chronic pain and dysfunction in turn decreasing the need for painkillers or invasive options, like surgery.

Bloom and pelvic pain

Marta Cardeano, general manager of Bloom said: “I’ve suffered many years with pelvic pain, and it’s now an honour to build this solution that will help thousands of women across the world. Just like me, many women simply don’t know there are solutions that can help free them from pain.

We are here to support the female population with effective and non-invasive solutions to improve their quality of life. Bloom technology is providing a new way for women to address their pelvic disorders from the privacy and convenience of their homes.”

Virgilio Bento, CEO of SWORD Health said: “Women’s physical health has been an overlooked problem in healthcare for decades. Right now, one in every four women suffers from pelvic disorders, without being able to access a solution that is both clinically effective and convenient.

That’s why we’ve decided to launch Bloom: we believe every woman should be able to have access to the best care and not suffer in silence. After developing the new gold standard of care for back and joint pain, Bloom is our next step towards fulfilling our mission to free two billion people from pain”.
