CHICAGO, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cylinder, the leading virtual digestive health provider, today announced its partnership with Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC), the global leader in virtual care, to expand access to high-quality, personalized gastrointestinal care. Through this collaboration, Teladoc Health's health plan and employer customers can easily provide members access to Cylinder's evidence-based digestive health platform, through streamlined administrative services and integration enablement.
Digestive health conditions affect up to 70 million Americans and drive significant healthcare costs — up to $136 billion annually. Cylinder's platform delivers precise diagnoses and personalized care plans for all acuity levels through ongoing evaluations and clinical expertise, and offers direct access to registered dietitians, health coaches, and gastroenterologists.
"Digestive health is an essential yet often overlooked component of whole-person care," said Bill Snyder, CEO and founder of Cylinder. "By partnering with Teladoc Health, we're making it easier for individuals to access expert GI care from anywhere, ensuring they receive the right support at the right time. Together, we're enhancing care coordination, improving outcomes, and delivering measurable ROI for employers and health plans."
Through Teladoc Health's Prism care platform, care teams can seamlessly refer eligible members to Cylinder Health's services, integrating digestive health support into broader virtual care offerings.
