Cylinder Health – Meet A Vendor

Cylinder Health is an innovative digital health company reinventing the way chronic conditions are managed, gut first.

Last week, Shortlister had the pleasure of hosting Chris Nordman, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Cylinder Health, as the featured guest for our Meet a Vendor webinar series. During this engaging session, Chris spearheaded an insightful discussion on the subject of digestive health, revealing how Cylinder Health offers much-needed relief to millions of Americans suffering in silence.

DIGESTIVE HEALTH IS MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK

More than 40% of Americans’ lives are disrupted daily by digestive issues. Not only does this contribute to a whopping $136 billion in annual spending (more than heart disease, trauma, and mental health altogether). It’s also causing people to suffer in silence, painfully navigating a fragmented care system that’s resulting in increased anxiety, frustration, and lack of relief.

THE ROLE DIGESTIVE DISEASE PLAYS IN EMPLOYEE HEALTH

GI conditions are a top cost driver for employers:

  • Abdominal pain is the 1# ER admit reason and a leading cause of postoperative care
  • #2 highest spend for short-term disability claims is digestive disease
  • The average healthcare cost of individuals with digestive disease is $17,200 annually – higher than Diabetes or Treatment-Resistant Depression
  • GI conditions are the #2 reason for missed work
  • It takes an average of 6 years for an IBS diagnosis from symptom onset
