DUOS Acquires Linkwell Health to Strengthen Its Performance Infrastructure for Health Plan Outcomes
The Acquisition Deepens DUOS’ AI-Powered Activation Layer, Creating a Unified Platform that Serves One in Five U.S. Adults from Enrollment to Care Completion to Health Outcomes
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. Following the acquisition, DUOS expands its footprint to more than 20 health plans nationwide and extends its reach to one in five U.S. adults.
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.
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 have spent years adding benefits and buying point solutions. The hard part was never access. It was follow-through,” said Karl Ulfers, Co-Founder and CEO at 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.”
The impact is measurable. Across its platform, DUOS has delivered 85% Annual Wellness Visit completion rates, 60% HEDIS gap closure, and up to +1.5 Stars improvement for health plan partners…
