About Cylinder
Cylinder delivers personalized, clinician-backed virtual care for the full spectrum of digestive health conditions. Formerly known as Vivante Health, the company operates a digital platform that combines gastroenterology expertise, nutrition guidance and health coaching, helping members with conditions ranging from bloating to IBS, IBD and GERD. Its care model aims to improve clinical outcomes while reducing the costs of digestive care for employers and health plans.
The platform gives members access to clinician-led care plans, curated educational courses, personalized microbiome testing and ongoing support from GI specialists, dietitians and health coaches. Cylinder serves employees and health plan members across the United States, delivering care through employer-sponsored benefits.
Cylinder operates a business-to-business model, contracting with employers, health plans and benefits partners, who offer the service as a covered benefit to their populations. The company has served more than 150,000 people and published peer-reviewed evidence on the platform's impact on digestive symptoms. Its clinical leadership spans gastroenterology, nutrition and gut-brain health. In August 2026, Hinge Health agreed to acquire Cylinder for $105 million, expanding into gastrointestinal care.
