DarioHealth Corp. (Dario) operates as a direct-to-consumer digital therapeutics company.
The company expanded from a single-condition platform to a multi-condition platform, creating a robust suite of solutions to address the five most commonly co-occurring, behaviorally driven, and expensive chronic conditions, which are also representative of some of the most sought-after digital health solutions: diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes/weight management, musculoskeletal and behavioral health. After building weight loss and hypertension management into the legacy diabetes platform, the company made three acquisitions in order to expand into musculoskeletal (MSK) and behavioral health (BH). In that regard, the company acquired Upright Technologies Ltd. (Upright), PsyInnovations Inc. (PsyInnovations) and Physimax Technology assets to expand into the fields of MSK and BH. The company’s approach to integrating all solutions into one digital therapeutics platform follows the best-of-suite offering design principal which provides the user one place to monitor all identified chronic conditions and to deliver a seamless user experience for commonly co-occurring chronic conditions.
The company continues to achieve key benchmarks as it rapidly scales its B2B2C model, including more than 100 total signed contracts as of December 31, 2023, and the shift in its commercial pipeline where more than 50% of the contracts signed in the second half of 2022 are for multi-chronic solutions. In January 2024, the company launched the Aetna platform with several customers, and it has continued to add customers that are planned for launches through the second quarter of 2024. The company anticipates additional health plan customers in 2024 directly and through its partners that cover more than 87 million members.
Product Offering

The company’s full suite of chronic condition management solutions offers the maximum benefit for its partners with a completely seamless and holistic approach to managing chronic conditions. In addition to a better unified member experience, its partners deploying Dario One enjoy several benefits from purchasing the entire suite of solutions: better overall health as evidenced by recent research published by it; the convenience and ease of a single vendor to manage; less strain on internal resources spread across several chronic condition management programs; and a more affordable program launches due to lower costs of implementation.
Dario’s Solution Main Components
The company’s journey engine drives its multichannel targeted outreach and enrollment campaigns, informs specific recommendations around a range of categories, such as diet, physical activity, self-care, coaching interventions, and provider engagement, and evolves in real time in response to the data exhaust from a user’s interaction with the care ecosystem.
The company’s journey engine combines complex behavioral science insights with data from hundreds of thousands of users over several years to recommend AI-driven initial and updated care journeys in response to a user’s engagement with the platform. Most digital health solutions consist primarily of tracking, content, and nudges. These are often perceived by users as non-rewarding work, and often do not feel relevant to their concerns, particularly as they evolve over time. The company’s journey engine adapts user journeys to drive engagement, retention, and clinical outcomes by optimizing timing, tone, channel, content, frequency and intervention to deliver dynamically personalized user journeys that are more likely to result in the behavior changes needed to drive improved outcomes across a range of conditions. As it partners with solutions in additional conditions or categories, the company engages new populations and generate fresh insights, enhancing the engagement and efficacy of these partnered solutions to deliver additional value to its users. The engine is designed for integration and scale; as the company adds populations and conditions for which behaviors are primary drivers of outcomes, its engine becomes more adept at customizing a user’s evolving preferences and needs.
Software Applications
The company’s chronic condition management solutions are designed as three separate software applications to provide the best possible user experience across metabolic, MSK and behavioral health needs. Each application is integrated with Dario’s single digital therapeutics platform and behavior change journey engine to ensure the same hyper-personalized experience across each person’s unique health needs and preferences to keep them on track with healthy changes over time.
Dario Evolve
Dario Evolve helps users change their behaviors and help better manage their diabetes, blood pressure and weight. Using real-time data and analysis, the app helps users track their progress and offers real-time feedback and customized content to support each individual’s needs and goals.
Dario Move
Dario Move helps users improve strength and mobility to help address chronic pain and improve overall musculoskeletal health. After completing an online assessment, each user receives a personalized, evidence-based exercise program that can be adjusted throughout their journey based on sensor data or self-reported feedback to a coach or in the app. Dario Move guides members through their tailored program with educational content to support long-term outcomes.
Dario Elevate
Dario’s Elevate helps people get the help they need to address common mental health needs. Starting with a responsive, AI-driven screener, elevate triages users to understand the need and recommend the most appropriate support to help them feel better. The company’s integrated, evidence-based digital tools and coaching help people learn proven techniques to better manage their emotional health.
Live Coaching
Live coaching is available as part of the Dario experience to give members a human point of contact for support and motivation, and also provide a level of accountability that is proven to help improve engagement and outcomes. As an integrated component of the company’s suite of solutions, its professionally trained and certified health coaches serve as a personal support for each member throughout their journey across all solutions and are able to connect members with clinical experts when members need additional support. The company’s clinical coaches include Certified Diabetes Educators (CDCES), Registered Nurses, Pharmacists and Mental Health Clinicians who are able to assist members throughout their journey.
Dario User Devices
The company’s product offerings include integrated devices to capture relevant clinical and biofeedback data to support continuous, real-time monitoring of member health. The company’s native devices include all-in-one smart glucose meter; Bluetooth connected blood pressure cuff; digital scale; and biofeedback sensor device.
Commercial Channels
The company focuses on the go-forward business strategy around three key market opportunities: direct sales to employers and payers and partnerships with the ability to multiply its growth opportunities. The company’s scalable business model selling digital therapeutics as a service through multi-year contracting relationships establishes a pipeline of ARR and has the potential to improve its gross margins over time.
The company’s software solutions are sold across a range of channels to create multiple growth engines and support rapid adoption across all segments of the market. The company’s integrated product suite is designed to address a common and growing sentiment from enterprise customers expressing frustration with the large number of condition-specific solutions, lack of transparency, lackluster results and poor member experiences. The company’s integrated solution aligns with these key buyer pain points and is proven to deliver value to strategic partners through its differentiated approach in the market. Finally, the company’s consumer-centric legacy remains a key component of its commercial strategy, bolstering its ongoing solution development by serving as an innovation laboratory for new services and product enhancements.
Health Plans: Although health plans represent the longest and most complex purchasing cycle across the company’s client base, these contracts often represent sizeable opportunities as they typically offer much larger potential member populations. The company has three live contracts with health plans, two are regional payers and one is a large national plan, with several additional plans in negotiation and contracting at present day.
Employers: The company’s most robust growth in 2022 came from the employer market, a key buyer to help demonstrate its ability to deliver results. The company has approximately 120 employer populations actively on its platform, and growth of its employer pipeline continues to grow and mature.
Partnerships: Strategic partnerships play a key role in helping to expand the company’s reach across markets quickly and efficiently. The company’s consumer-centric platform, the rate at which we have evolved its product, added and integrated solutions and provided product improvements and ability to easily share data and support a multitude of integrations makes Dario an attractive choice of partner for many in the market. One such significant partnership agreement is the company’s collaboration with Sanofi, a global leader in health care, a relationship that resulted after an extensive search determined it is uniquely capable of providing the robust data and analytics required by Sanofi. The company also entered into partner agreements with several large employer benefits platforms such as Virgin Health Pulse in 2021, helping expand our reach within the employer market. The company also entered into partnership agreements with several large platforms, such as Virgin Health Pulse, Alliant Insurance Services, and Vitality Group, helping expand its reach within the employer market. Dario is actively pursuing new partnerships in both markets to enhance our opportunities with a one-to-many approach.
Consumers: The company’s ability to engage members and improve health begins with its consumer-centric approach, and this audience remains key to its commercialization at the enterprise client level. The company’s direct-to-consumer channel continues to attract members to its platform and provides a neutral audience to test innovative product ideas, something traditional B2B companies are unable to do given limitations on commercial membership. These insights inform both the company’s AI-driven behavior change journey engine, helping continuously improve engagement and retention, and inform product design to ensure its solutions remain at the forefront of consumer expectations.
Sanofi U.S. Agreement
On February 28, 2022, the company entered into an exclusive preferred partner, co-promotion, development and license agreement (the Agreement) with Sanofi for a term of five (5) years.
