Healthy Roster acquires Sway Medical, expanding digital reach in sports medicine
Columbus-based Healthy Roster, a leading sports medicine and injury documentation software company, has acquired Sway Medical, an Oklahoma-based pioneer in mobile concussion testing. The move, backed by New York growth equity firm Level Equity, brings together two major players in athlete health tech.
Why it matters
The deal strengthens Healthy Roster’s position in the fast-growing sports medicine technology market, combining its electronic medical record (EMR) and telehealth tools with Sway’s FDA-cleared balance and cognitive assessment platform. Together, the companies aim to deliver an end-to-end system for injury documentation, concussion management, and athlete wellness tracking—a significant step in digitizing athlete care from sideline to clinic.
The details
Healthy Roster serves thousands of organizations across athletics, healthcare, and occupational health.
Sway’s mobile app allows athletic trainers and clinicians to perform validated concussion tests directly from a smartphone.
The acquisition is supported by Level Equity, which has over $4.5 billion in committed capital and a portfolio focused on high-growth software and tech-enabled businesses.
Each year, an estimated 3.8 million sport-related concussions occur in the U.S., underscoring the need for faster, more reliable testing and reporting tools.
What they’re saying
“Bringing Sway into the Healthy Roster family represents a powerful step forward in our mission to make sports medicine smarter, faster, and more connected,” said Nathan Heerdt, Co-Founder and CEO of Healthy Roster.
“Healthy Roster and Sway have long shared a commitment to advancing athlete safety through innovation,” said Chase Curtiss, Founder of Sway Medical.
“The combined company is exceptionally positioned to lead the next chapter in sports medicine technology,” added Chris Isaac, Partner at Level Equity.
The big picture
As sports programs and health systems seek more integrated care models, the union of Healthy Roster and Sway Medical signals a shift toward connected athlete data ecosystems—where injury records, concussion tests, and recovery plans live in one digital platform.
