Cylinder Acquires Dieta Health to Enhance AI-Driven Digestive Care

Cylinder, a leading virtual digestive health provider, has announced its acquisition of Dieta Health. Dieta Health has created a clinically validated AI-powered stool imaging app, which will bolster Cylinder's mission to provide personalized digestive care and improve clinical outcomes. The app allows for the capture and classification of stool images, offering superior diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional methods. This acquisition will enable Cylinder to enhance diagnostic precision, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. Dr. Mark Pimentel from Cedars-Sinai highlights the prevalence of GI conditions and the potential for early diagnosis and treatment. Integrating Dieta's AI technology into Cylinder's platform promises quicker and more accurate insights into gastrointestinal conditions. The acquisition aligns with Cylinder's growth strategy and commitment to innovation in digestive health, as well as providing additional clinical opportunities and expanding its clinical partnerships. As part of this acquisition, Dieta Health’s team, including founder Asaf Kraus, will be incorporated into Cylinder. Kraus views this merger as an opportunity to further develop AI tools to impact GI care positively.
