Vivante Health

What Vivante Health does

Vivante Health operates a digital digestive health platform marketed under the Cylinder Health brand, delivering clinician-backed care programs for gastrointestinal conditions ranging from bloating and IBS to chronic conditions such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, and GERD. The platform combines personalized care plans, symptom and diet tracking, curated courses, microbiome testing, and access to a multi-disciplinary team of gastroenterologists, internists, Registered Dietitians, and Health Coaches. Its proprietary AI feature, Stool Scan, applies computer vision to smartphone-captured stool images to support at-home digestive health monitoring.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market. The primary motion is B2B enterprise field sales targeting self-insured employers, health plans, and benefits brokers through an annual subscription model with quote-based pricing per covered population. Logos span education (Texas A&M System, Metro Nashville Public Schools, Bucknell University, University of Central Oklahoma), transportation (Lyft), food service (US Foods), financial services (Navient), technology (EPAM), and health-benefit platforms (Personify Health, Daisy Health). A secondary direct-to-consumer self-serve channel extends reach to individuals outside employer coverage. The company reports outcomes including 91% of members with improved GI symptoms, 92% with improved quality of life, and a 5:1 ROI case study with Metro Nashville Public Schools, and maintains HITRUST and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.

Direct peers

• Virta Health: Virta Health is a virtual specialty care platform for type 2 diabetes reversal and metabolic health, sold to employers, health plans, and payers. It is a direct peer in specialty-condition virtual care with strong published clinical outcomes and ROI claims, mirroring Vivante/Cylinder's positioning in GI.
• Omada Health: Omada Health is a virtual-first chronic condition platform (diabetes prevention, hypertension, MSK, behavioral health) sold via employers and health plans. It competes for the same point-solution budget and demonstrates how chronic-condition virtual care is packaged and scaled to self-insured employers.
• Maven Clinic: Maven Clinic is a virtual women's and family health benefit platform sold to employers and health plans, spanning fertility, maternity, and mental health. It is a direct peer in employer-sponsored specialty virtual care and competes for similar benefit buyers with a condition-specific depth strategy.
• Sword Health: Sword Health is a digital MSK and pelvic health point solution combining AI-guided exercise therapy with clinician oversight, sold to employers and health plans. It competes for the same benefits budget and uses AI to differentiate clinical delivery, similar to Vivante/Cylinder's Stool Scan approach.
• Oshi Health: Oshi Health is a virtual-first gastroenterology clinic delivering multidisciplinary GI care (gastroenterologists, dietitians, behavioral support) to employer and health plan populations. It is the closest direct peer to Vivante/Cylinder, competing head-to-head in employer-sponsored digestive health benefits with a similar care-team-plus-tech model.
• Hinge Health: Hinge Health is a leading digital MSK point solution sold to employers and health plans, combining exercise therapy with AI-powered motion tracking. It is a direct competitor for benefits point-solution budget and demonstrates the digital point solution scale and category leadership that Vivante/Cylinder must contend with.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a mental health benefit platform sold to employers and health plans, combining virtual therapy, coaching, and self-serve content. It is a direct competitor in the employer-sponsored digital health benefits space and a benchmark for multi-condition point solution bundling that may eventually include GI care.

Broad incumbents

• Headspace Health (Ginger): Headspace Health (including the Ginger on-demand mental health platform) is a major employer-sponsored digital health incumbent offering mental health coaching, therapy, and self-serve content. It competes for the same digital benefit budget and represents the broader incumbent landscape that specialty point solutions like Vivante/Cylinder must integrate alongside.
• Personify Health: Personify Health (formerly Virgin Pulse + Welltok) is a broad enterprise health and benefits navigation platform used by employers and health plans. It is both a named customer/channel partner for Vivante/Cylinder and a broader incumbent that could eventually bundle competing digestive health capabilities.

Emerging players

• Salvo Health: Salvo Health (formerly Bold Health) is a digital GI clinic offering personalized care for chronic digestive conditions via a care team and app. It is an emerging player in the same employer- and consumer-facing virtual GI niche as Vivante/Cylinder, with more limited scale.
