Joint Academy is a Swedish startup founded in 2014 that aims to provide online treatments for chronic joint and back pain. The company's slogan, "We connect patients with licensed physical therapists for treating chronic joint and back pain," encapsulates its core mission. Joint Academy's approach involves connecting patients with licensed physical therapists through a user-friendly app, delivering personalized treatment plans, interactive education, and progress tracking. The platform's effectiveness is underscored by peer-reviewed studies, which demonstrate that Joint Academy patients experience reduced pain, reassess the need for surgery, and discontinue painkiller usage. Notably, the company received a significant $23.00M Series B investment on 17 September 2020, with backing from investors including Kinnevik, Alfvén & Didrikson, LU Innovation, and Karl-Johan Persson. Joint Academy operates in the Health Care, Health and Wellness, and Medical Devices industries, presenting a compelling case for investors seeking opportunities in the healthcare sector.
