Hinge Health has acquired Cylinder Health for $105 million, extending its digital musculoskeletal care platform into gastrointestinal care and signalling a shift toward integrated whole-person digital health platforms. This acquisition responds to the healthcare market's consolidation trend where payers and employers prefer broader, unified digital health solutions over numerous point solutions.
