If we were holding this webinar five years ago, the title would’ve been: What is menopause? But we’re past that. Now we’re asking the harder question: Is the care for menopausal women actually working? This week, we sat down with Emily Brockett, Director of Health Plans at Hearst, and Sandy Walsh, a Bloom member who completed the program, to talk about what proper menopause support looks like in practice, and why employers and health plans should care. Hint: supported workforces are more productive, and a non-fragmented approach saves a lot of money.

About us
Sword is building the future of healthcare through AI Care, a field we pioneered that brings together Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Experts to tackle healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks - access, outcomes, and cost. The result is a world where clinicians are able to focus on what they do best - handling nuance, providing empathy, and delivering the human touch -, while AI focuses on delivering hyper-personalized treatment programs, ensuring scalability, and being available 24/7 so that healthcare meets the needs of the patient, not the other way around. Our platform spans the full continuum of care, from predicting and preventing pain, to treating physical and mental health, and optimizing healthcare operations. We are trusted by over 2,000 organizations globally, across employers, health plans, and governments, having helped our clients generate over $1 billion in healthcare savings, largely by avoiding unnecessary procedures, such as surgeries, imaging, ER visits, and others. We’re backed by some of the world’s most seasoned investors, such as Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Founders Fund and others, and currently valued at $4B. We believe in - and are building toward - a world where AI Care is within arm’s reach of every human. If this mission inspires you, join us in building that future: https://swordhealth.com/company/careers.

We asked the team at Sword Intelligence to break down the system behind every agentic workflow we’re building for providers, payers, and governments: the Modular Intelligence Platform (we call it MIP). To start, think of it like building blocks: → Interaction channels → AI Care Managers → Integrations → Dashboard → Safety & compliance Each module does one job well. Together, they form workflows designed to handle the everyday chaos of healthcare operations. Swipe through to see the step by step →

On January 21 at 12pm ET, join us for a conversation on what comprehensive menopause care looks like in practice, and how to evaluate it as a benefit. → Register here: https://lnkd.in/ewGR-hKh Traditional menopause care means calling multiple specialists, waiting weeks for appointments, and navigating a system that wasn't built for working women. The impact shows up in healthcare costs, retention rates, and productivity metrics. You’ll hear from Jennesa Atherton, PT, DPT and Emily Brockett as they share how employers and health plans can move from fragmented care to a menopause benefit that delivers real impact. Plus, Sandy Walsh, a Bloom member, will share her personal experience managing symptoms through the program. Save the date: Jan 21, 12pm ET

What does success mean when it comes to people’s health? It means... Preventing issues before they escalate. Receiving care wherever you are, without waiting rooms or missed days. Staying present in your life. In 2025, we partnered with thousands of employers and health plans to help 300,000 members do just that. Thank you for choosing Sword.

It’s worth celebrating what didn't happen in 2025: The surgeries that didn’t take place. The workdays no one had to miss. The doctor appointments never made. Last year, over 300,000 members relied on AI Care to make more time for what matters most: being present and in good health. We’re grateful to the employers and health plans that chose Sword and made these outcomes possible for their people. This is our silent impact. Because, sometimes, what didn’t happen says everything.
