We believe that people having surgery deserve more. They deserve the chance to influence their own outcomes. Having surgery is like running a marathon—both require extensive preparation to get the best results. You wouldnt run a marathon unprepared. Why approach surgery differently? We empower patients to actively prepare—physically, mentally, and emotionally—for a smoother, faster recovery from surgery. Our evidence-backed programme, built on the latest science of behaviour change, helps reduce complications, accelerate recovery, and can sometimes even help avoid surgery altogether. In January 2025, Surgery Hero was acquired by Sword Health, a global leader in digital health. This acquisition not only brings us closer to our mission of helping 100 million people have a successful surgery, but also supports Sword’s mission of freeing 2 billion people from pain.
