01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Sway Health was a US digital health startup founded in 2016 that built automated preventive counseling software for healthcare providers - evidence-based digital counseling that let providers view data for personalized interventions and automated notes for billing and reimbursement. Founded by Eric DePopas, Jesse Ryan Smith, and CEO Kevin DePopas, it was selected for the Cedars-Sinai accelerator and signed an agreement with National Jewish Health in Denver. It raised about $2.7 million (a $120K pre-seed in 2017 and a $2.57 million venture round in December 2021). No reliable public record of the company's later fate exists; its team later moved on to other ventures (e.g., PainTheory).
