Chicago, February 6, 2024 – Cylinder, the employee benefit for GI care, today announced that it was named to the 2024 New York Digital Health 100 (DH100), a recognition that highlights the leading digital health startups in New York. Digital Health New York (DHNY) publishes the annual list in conjunction with the New York Healthcare Innovation Report which takes an in-depth look at the investment trends, opportunities, and challenges in the digital health sector.
“Millions of workers across the country struggle with debilitating GI symptoms and issues that interfere with their life and work,” said Bill Snyder, CEO of Cylinder. “This recognition is a testament to our commitment to helping those sufferers feel better faster, gut-first.”
