DUOS, the performance infrastructure for health plans, today announced its acquisition of Linkwell Health, strengthening the end-to-end system DUOS has built to turn health plan investments into realized member outcomes.
The financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
As part of the deal, Linkwell will operate under the DUOS brand. The companies are already working to integrate their platforms and operations.
This acquisition follows continued momentum for DUOS, including a $130 million growth investment led by FTV Capital in October 2025, and further solidifies the company’s leadership in health plan performance infrastructure.
With the acquisition of Linkwell Health, DUOS deepens its AI-powered activation layer with predictive content intelligence, omnichannel delivery, and personalized engagement journeys that turn outreach into action.
Health plans invest heavily in benefits, quality programs, care coordination, and risk strategies, but too often the return falls short because of a persistent follow-through gap, the distance between what a plan designs for members and the actions members take.
DUOS closes that gap through an integrated performance infrastructure, bringing together member activation, government program enrollment, care coordination, and medication safety into a single system designed to improve plan performance.
“Health plans have spent years adding benefits and buying point solutions. The hard part was never access. It was follow-through,” said Karl Ulfers, CEO and Co-Founder of DUOS.
“The return gets lost in the gap between what’s designed and what members actually do. That is the follow-through gap, and it is one of the most expensive inefficiencies in healthcare. Competitors converge data. DUOS connects with the member and closes the loop.”
“With this acquisition, we are widening that moat and strengthening the infrastructure layer health plans use to drive performance,” added Karl Ulfers.
More than 5000 digital health companies have been acquired to date, according to our recent M&A Database. More recently, Elation Health, a provider of an all-in-one electronic health record (EHR) software platform for primary care providers, announced its acquisition of Aster (Aster Care), an AI-powered EHR software startup.
