Speaker Bio

Virgilio “V” Bento has devoted his career to revolutionizing healthcare with the power of Artificial Intelligence. After his brother suffered an accident and struggled to access the quality of care he needed to recover, V realized there had to be a better way. This led to the invention of the Digital Therapist, the world's first AI Care solution, during his PhD in Electrical Engineering. This innovative solution empowered patients to recover at home independently, overcoming limitations in access to care. Following his PhD, V founded Sword Health and launched the world's first platform to predict, prevent, and treat pain. Matching Sword's AI therapists with the expertise of clinical teams, the Sword platform makes high-quality care accessible. V is listed on over 35 patents and has authored more than 40 research papers in fields diverse in sensor fusion algorithms, motion tracking systems, and neuroplasticity. Daring in design and cautious in execution, V's path is shaped by his will to find new ways to free people from pain worldwide.
