We joined Maven Clinic, Northeast Business Group on Health, and others at the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions Annual Forum today to highlight data-driven approaches for managing health care costs. Chris Nordman, our SVP of Commercial, participated in a panel exploring how data analytics and specialized health benefit partnerships can improve employee health outcomes and reduce employer health care costs. Our recent State of Gut Health in the Workplace report underscores the importance of digestive health in the workplace. It found that: ?? 72% of employees with chronic digestive issues experience decreased productivity. ?? 40% reported daily symptoms that affect their work performance. These findings highlight the need for tailored, data-driven care. In fact, recent clinical data published in BMJ Open Gastroenterology shows that: ?? 83% of Cylinder users reported better symptom management. ?? 85% experienced an improvement in their digestive symptoms. By leveraging personalized care based on individual health data, we are able to help employers address digestive health challenges, improving employee outcomes and reducing overall health care costs. ??

?? This Halloween, let’s unmask some scary GI facts— Did you know that the total annual cost of digestive diseases in the U.S. is a staggering $136 billion? That’s even higher than the costs associated with heart disease, trauma, or mental health issues.

These issues now rank among the top five chronic conditions driving up medical and pharmacy costs. At Cylinder, we recognize the serious impact GI issues can have on both well-being and health care costs. That’s why we’re committed to helping our members reclaim their health.
