−Removed: We are a leading global
−Removed: Digital Therapeutics (“DTx”) company revolutionizing the way people manage their health across the chronic condition
−Removed: spectrum to live a better and healthier life.
−Removed: Our mission is to transform how affected individuals manage their health and chronic
−Removed: conditions by empowering our customers to easily manage their conditions and take steps to improve their overall health.
−Removed: conditions are driven by personal behaviors and the individual actions that are or are not taken.
−Removed: We believe that changing these
−Removed: behaviors can dramatically improve our customers’
−Removed: overall health and substantially reduce unnecessary health spending.
−Removed: behavioral change and habit formation are difficult, especially in managing chronic disease and related conditions.
−Removed: therapeutics endeavor to produce lasting behavior changes in our customers by applying a novel combination of artificial intelligence
−Removed: (“AI”)-driven dynamic personalization and behavioral science at scale.
−Removed: This allows us to engage and support our customers,
−Removed: and offer them a complete virtual care solution, ideally resulting in improved health outcomes and reduced total cost of care.
−Removed: principal operating subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd., is an Israeli company with its headquarters in
−Removed: Caesarea, Israel.
−Removed: We were formed on August 11, 2011, as a Delaware corporation with the name LabStyle Innovations
−Removed: On July 28, 2016, we changed our name to DarioHealth Corp.
−Removed: We began our sales in the direct-to-consumer space,
−Removed: solving first for what we deemed the most difficult problems:
−Removed: how to engage users and support behavior change to improve
−Removed: clinical outcomes in diabetes.
−Removed: Our most developed AI tools leverage the direct-to-consumer experience from over 150,000
−Removed: members to drive superior engagement and outcomes.
−Removed: In early 2020, we broadened our solutions to include other medical
−Removed: conditions in addition to diabetes, and to serve business customers who seek to improve the health of their stakeholders.
−Removed: Presently, we have deployed solutions for diabetes, hypertension, and pre-diabetes, and through our acquisition of Upright
−Removed: Technologies Ltd.
−Removed: (“Upright”), we now offer solutions for musculoskeletal (“MSK”) conditions.
−Removed: We are currently
−Removed: delivering B2B2C solutions for providers, employers, and pharmaceutical companies, and we plan to develop a full-risk health
−Removed: plan business, which we expect will provide our AI driven, remote patient monitoring (“RPM”) and coaching
−Removed: for a variety of chronic conditions, across a range of customer product lines in 2021.
−Removed: Upright Technologies
−Removed: Ltd., which we acquired in February 2021, is a leading digital MSK health company focused on preventing and treating the most
−Removed: common MSK conditions through behavioral science, biofeedback, coaching, and wearable tech.
−Removed: Upright has over 90,000 active users
−Removed: and its clinically validated solution is recommended by more than 500 clinics worldwide.
−Removed: In-market first-generation
−Removed: digital health solutions offer static or nominal personalization at best, integrating signals to customize nudges or personalize
−Removed: communications in a manner that does not significantly adapt to changing user needs over time, while user journey’s, or experiences,
−Removed: remain fairly static.
−Removed: First generation solutions generally lack user experience benefit of insight from tens of thousands of direct-to-consumer
−Removed: engagements over years that adaptively personalize user journeys for high engagement and outcomes.
−Removed: These solutions are often described
−Removed: as “fingerprinted,”
−Removed: but while fingerprints don’t change over time, users do.
−Removed: As a result, any static or minimally
−Removed: dynamic approaches are not sufficiently customized to address user needs.
−Removed: Market intelligence
−Removed: confirms that enterprise customers are frustrated by existing solutions with static user journeys, limited transparency, inability
−Removed: to integrate with existing technologies and workflows, low engagement and retention and challenges with flexible deployments.
−Removed: customers want a single solution for most-major chronic conditions, others wish to deploy piecemeal solutions or may have already
−Removed: invested in solutions for a portion of their populations.
−Removed: Health systems and health plans have invested significantly in their
−Removed: technology and digital strategy and require solutions that interoperate with their existing and planned deployments.
−Removed: First generation
−Removed: digital health solutions that have piloted with complex customers such as health plans have been forced to pivot their business
−Removed: strategies to employers and others owing to enrollment, integration, return on investment and reporting challenges.
−Removed: Our solutions
−Removed: are designed from the ground-up for integration, can be deployed for single or multiple conditions, deliver behavioral-science
−Removed: informed dynamically personalized and integrated user journeys, deliver clear returns on investment in required time horizons and
−Removed: allow for real-time granulated customer reporting.
−Removed: Unlike other digital
−Removed: health solutions, we also personalize user experience beyond nudges.
−Removed: Healthcare journeys and pathways must be individualized, informed
−Removed: by behavioral science, and dynamically responsive to drive engagement and outcomes.
−Removed: Customized, dynamic user journeys are delivered
−Removed: by our AI-driven journey engine, the “Dario Loop”
−Removed: (formerly called Dario Intelligence), which personalizes user experience
−Removed: across a range of factors including timing, tone, channel, content, frequency, and intervention.
−Removed: We believe that our dynamic personalized
−Removed: approach ensures superior engagement and retention, reduced costs, and ultimately, improved user health.
−Removed: This is reflected in our
−Removed: user experience feedback, with an unparalleled 4.9 out of 5 stars across more than 15 thousand reviews in the Apple App Store,
−Removed: a best-in-class net promoter score of 76, and industry-leading, published improvements in clinical metrics such as estimated glucose
−Removed: monitoring (“HbA1c”), hypertension (“HTN”), pain and health-related quality of life.
−Removed: Our Solutions
−Removed: We offer a customized,
−Removed: user-centric, modular platform integrating digital therapeutics, coaching, devices, and care providers.
−Removed: Our suite of offerings
−Removed: includes Dario Tools, which are devices that integrate with applications on a user’s smartphone, DarioEngage, a population
−Removed: health management platform (“DarioEngage”), and the Dario Loop, our AI-driven journey engine.
−Removed: Our platform is designed
−Removed: for integration across a range of devices including partner devices.
−Removed: Our digital architecture and user experience can easily integrate
−Removed: with partnered devices such as continuous glucose monitor (“CGM”) and other remote patient monitoring devices.
−Removed: example, we recently partnered with one of the “big 4”
−Removed: diabetes companies to integrate their meter as well in certain
−Removed: commercial deployments.
+Added: We are revolutionizing how people with chronic conditions manage their health through the innovation of a new category of digital health:
+Added: Digital Therapeutics as a Service (DTaaS).
+Added: We believe that our innovative approach to digital therapeutics disrupts the traditional provider-centered system of health care delivery by offering user-centric care that is continuous, customized and multi-condition.
+Added: Our solutions combine the power of technologies and behavior science to make better health accessible, affordable, and easy for all by solving for what people need, when and where they want it, with hyper-personalized care that is always connected – to services, devices, and people – and delivered continuously.
+Added: This is how we deliver meaningful and sustainable results that result in measurable value for all stakeholders, supporting the full transformation of health care into a more effective and affordable ecosystem.
+Added: Market Environment
+Added: The United States health care industry is becoming increasingly inefficient, incurring higher, unsustainable health care costs while the chronic conditions that it seeks to address continue to worsen.
+Added: According to the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S.
+Added: spent $4.1 trillion on health care in 2020, with 75% of the costs attributed to care for chronic conditions.
+Added: We believe that addressing the cost challenges in chronic condition management will require three main shifts.
+Added: First, the market must shift from a provider-centric approach to a consumer centric approach, embracing the transformative effects of consumerization as a means to engage more patients in their own treatment to scale effective chronic condition management.
+Added: This consumerization of health care will change how people experience care, create new opportunities to engage people and help them change their behaviors for better health and lower cost of care.
+Added: Second, the digitalization of health will enable scale by connecting patients to health care professionals and payers, giving patients access to care for their health between provider visits and shifting healthcare from episodic to continuous care.
+Added: Telehealth addresses the synchronous portion of the problem, while digital health provides continuous support at scale.
+Added: Finally, value-driven care should become the standard.
+Added: In fact, performance-based models are already becoming a reality as the industry reckons with unsustainable costs and growing demands for transparency, creating pressure on stakeholders to find solutions that will address poor health and lower costs of care.
+Added: We began as a direct-to-consumer digital therapeutics company, solving first for the problem of how to engage users and support behavior change to improve clinical outcomes in diabetes.
+Added: In the last two years, we made two strategic shifts to transform our business:
+Added: first, we significantly expanded commercial growth opportunities by adding a business-to-business product (B2B) and a commercial team alongside the legacy direct-to-consumer channel.
+Added: In addition, we began targeting three traditional health business verticals – health plans, employers, and provider groups.
+Added: As a result, we believe that our new B2B business now leverages our consumer-centric capabilities as a competitive advantage.
+Added: Second, we transitioned from a single condition platform to a multi-condition platform, creating a robust suite of solutions to address the five most commonly co-occurring and expensive chronic conditions, which are also representative of some of the most sought-after digital health solutions:
+Added: diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes/weight management, musculoskeletal and behavioral health.
+Added: After building weight loss and hypertension management into the legacy diabetes platform, we made three acquisitions in order to expand into musculoskeletal and behavioral health.
+Added: Our acquisition of Upright Technologies Ltd.
+Added: (“Upright”) in early 2021 and Physimax in early 2022 enables our musculoskeletal (“MSK”) solutions – “Dario Move.”, our digital behavioral health capabilities were secured through the acquisition of PsyInnovations, Inc.
+Added: (dba wayForward) in mid-2021.
+Added: We believe a key success factor is our ability to integrate multiple chronic conditions into a single digital therapeutics platform, the “Dario One.” During 2021 we successfully won contracts in all three B2B business segments, including several contracts for Dario One, creating a compounding effect as more members enroll and many in multiple programs.
+Added: The combination of moving from direct-to-consumer to the enterprise business market (B2B2C) and expanding from a single condition to multi condition platform, created multiple commercial growth engines as well as a multiplying impact that we believe will improve our financial profile by increasing potential revenue per account and per user.
+Added: Recent Developments
+Added: Agreement with a Leading Employer Benefits Brokerage

+Added: Dario and Sanofi will collaborate on promoting the Dario multi-condition digital therapeutics solution, significantly increasing Dario's sales reach in the health plan market and selectively in the employer channel.
+Added: In addition, the agreement calls for Dario and Sanofi to develop new or enhanced solutions leveraging the Dario platform, and for the parties to generate robust evidence to support future commercialization in the health plan channel.
+Added: Competitive Advantages
+Added: Our competitive advantage is driven by several unique capabilities, including:
+Added: Consumer-centric design.
+Added: Most digital health solutions are built to address the needs of a business and then sold directly to the business, bypassing the difficult step of achieving consumer buy-in with respect to the product.
+Added: Our experience as a direct-to-consumer company now leverages those insights to drive B2B2C commercial growth by working with health plans, employers, and provider groups and providing them a solution that their end users are more likely to utilize.
+Added: Our current and potential customers recognize that consumer engagement insights are critical to success, and they are prioritizing solutions with more of a consumer focused experience.
+Added: Hyper-personalization.
+Added: Unlike other digital health solutions, we personalize the user journey to anticipate and adapt to each individual’s unique circumstances, preferences and changes over time.
+Added: Our solution has a 40% member enrollment rate.
+Added: Our customized, dynamic user journeys are delivered by our artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven journey engine which personalizes user experience across a range of factors including timing, tone, channel, content, frequency and intervention.
+Added: We believe that this creates an adherence to our solutions that leads to an 80% year-over-year retention rate for consumers on our platform and the ability to sustain clinical improvements for more than two years, as demonstrated in our published studies as discussed more fully below.
+Added: Therapeutic value at scale.
+Added: The digitization of health care has created an ecosystem of access points and point solutions that are largely disconnected, creating waste and inefficiency without sustainable value.
+Added: We believe that our unique approach to connected and continuous health care through the use of our single integrated multi-condition platform leads to superior engagement and retention, reduced costs, and ultimately, improved user health that can be delivered at scale.
+Added: These advantages combine to ensure that our users have a better overall experience, with stronger engagement, superior clinical and financial outcomes and a simplified integrated platform that addresses the conditions that matter most to our customers and users.
+Added: Our Product Offering
+Added: Our user-centric software platform integrates digital therapeutics, coaching, professional human support and medical devices to drive superior clinical and financial outcomes.
+Added: Our suite of offerings is modular, allowing for enterprise clients to purchase one or more of our chronic condition management solutions, while enjoying the same best-in-class experience supported by our behavior change journey engine so our partners can be confident in achieving sustainable outcomes and value.
+Added: Our suite of digital offerings include:
+Added: Dario Metabolic (“Dario Evolve”)
+Added: Dario’s metabolic solutions are designed to address some of the most commonly co-occurring metabolic health needs - diabetes, hypertension, and weight management - through a combination of software, our smartphone-connected tools,
+Added: interaction with live coaches, and real-time data analysis to help inform and educate users of the relationship between their behaviors and their health outcomes to drive changes that last.
+Added: Dario Musculoskeletal (“Dario Move”)
+Added: Our unique approach prevents and treats the most common MSK conditions, including chronic pain, by dealing with the cause and empowers users to create behavioral change.
+Added: Dario Move’s digital physical therapy programs and posture training help people improve strength and mobility by using a combination of software, wearable biofeedback sensors, and coaching to drive sustainable improvements in musculoskeletal health.
+Added: Dario Behavioral Health (“Dario Elevate”)

+Added: Dario Full Suite (“Dario One”)
+Added: Dario’s full suite of chronic condition management solutions offers the maximum benefit for our partners with a completely seamless and holistic approach to managing chronic conditions.
+Added: In addition to a better member experience, our partners deploying Dario One enjoy several benefits from purchasing the entire suite of solutions:
+Added: better overall health as evidenced by recent research published by us;
+Added: the convenience and ease of a single vendor to manage;
+Added: less strain on internal resources spread across several chronic condition management programs;
+Added: and a more affordable program launches due to lower costs of implementation.
+Added: Dario Health Solution Main Components
+Added: Users vary significantly in their interests and preferences, and unique user preferences also vary over time with respect to the optimal timing, tone, content, channel, frequency, and interventions required to produce sustained behavior change.
+Added: Users’ interactions with devices, smartphones, coaches, providers, and third-party solutions must be personalized along these axes to ensure optimal engagement, retention, and outcomes.
+Added: Furthermore to engage and sustain user interest and participation, and drive outcomes, platforms must be dynamically responsive.
+Added: Due to a lack of responsiveness to these types of variances, most digital health platforms that achieve high initial engagement often fail to retain users over time.
+Added: Key to our ability to accommodate user behavioral changes is our mature AI-driven user journey engine.
+Added: While several in-market solutions now integrate health signals across a range of categories to apply limited, nominal personalization, primarily in the form of nudges, our solution is informed by years of user experience data from over 223,000 users, enabling us to continually personalize and adapt user journeys themselves (and not just messages) over time.
+Added: Our journey engine drives our 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.
+Added: Our 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.
+Added: Most digital health solutions consist primarily of tracking, content, and nudges.
+Added: 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.
+Added: We believe that current in-market solutions trivialize within person changes over time and do not appropriately respond to the dynamically evolving interests of users.
+Added: This results in reduced engagement and impaired outcomes.
+Added: Our 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.
+Added: As we partner with solutions in additional conditions or categories, we engage new populations and generate fresh insights, enhancing the engagement and efficacy of these partnered solutions to deliver additional value to our users.
+Added: The engine is designed for integration and scale;
+Added: we add populations and conditions for which behaviors are primary drivers of outcomes, our engine becomes more adept at customizing a user’s evolving preferences and needs.
+Added: Software Applications
+Added: Our 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Dario Evolve helps users change their behaviors and help better manage their diabetes, blood pressure and weight.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Integration with the Dario journey engine ensure that each user receives holistic support and a highly personalized experience that keeps them on track for long-lasting results.
+Added: Dario Move helps users improve strength and mobility to help address chronic pain and improve overall musculoskeletal health.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Dario Move guides members through their tailored program with educational content to support long-term outcomes.
+Added: Dario Elevate
+Added: Dario’s Elevate helps people get the help they need to address common mental health needs.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Our integrated, evidence-based digital tools and coaching help people learn proven techniques to better manage their emotional health.
+Added: DarioEngage and Coaching
+Added: Our member health is managed through our proprietary care management platform DarioEngage, an integrated experience from contracting through onboarding, data exchange, enrollment, outcomes, and reporting.
+Added: Regardless of which conditions or populations our customers select, and independent of whether they choose to deploy portions of their strategy through other partners, we present a unified application experience in DarioEngage to reporting that simplifies deployments, creates market-leading transparency, and accelerates and broadens user engagement.
+Added: DarioEngage also serves to support our coaching staff by providing a member-level view to help monitor progress and track escalations in real-time.
+Added: Our professional staff includes trained and certified health coaches who serve as a personal support for each member throughout their journey, and clinical experts who provide expert-level care when members need additional support.
+Added: Our clinical coaches include Certified Diabetes Educators (CDCES), Registered Nurses, Pharmacists and Mental Health Clinicians who are able to assist members throughout their journey.
+Added: Dario User Devices
+Added: Our product offerings include integrated devices to capture relevant clinical and biofeedback data to support continuous, real-time monitoring of member health.

Our Growth Strategies
−Removed: customers across a range of channels .
−Removed: Due to our unique ability to deploy flexibly and interoperability, and since we
−Removed: cover the range of chronic conditions of common concern to health plans, providers and employers, we are experiencing increased
−Removed: interest in our behavior change platform for chronic diseases.
−Removed: We have already engaged with several large providers and one fortune
−Removed: 500 company subsidiary, and are in late stage negotiations to enter contracts with several health plans on their fully insured
−Removed: We anticipate continued growth and demand in these channels as we acquire customers.
−Removed: Each additional contract not only
−Removed: increases revenues, but also the likelihood of attracting additional new customers as they recognize our solutions being adopted
−Removed: and trusted by peers and competitors.
−Removed: the eligible populations within customers .
−Removed: Initially, Dario’s solutions were deployed for type I and type II diabetes.
−Removed: Since that time, we have added HTN, MSK.
−Removed: Each new condition added increases our ability to cover larger portions of our customers’
−Removed: populations, thereby reducing the need for our customers to engage multiple vendors, and reducing their costs as compared to the
−Removed: alternative of partnering with multiple solutions to cover the conditions and categories that we cover on one single platform.
+Added: As a company with multiple product lines operating in several channels, we have multiple growth engines.
+Added: Furthermore, because we often bill on a per member per month basis, this enables recurring revenue that grows when users are enrolled into the platform.
+Added: The below key factors should have high impact on the business ability to grow.
+Added: Add customers across a range of markets and channels .
+Added: In 2021, we established a client footprint across all three key enterprise verticals – providers, employers, and health plans – with contracts representing a mix of our solutions.
+Added: Each additional contract not only increases revenues, but also the likelihood of attracting additional new customers as they recognize our solutions being adopted and trusted by peers and competitors.
+Added: With new and existing clients, we are also focused on expanding client solution contracts across product lines to increase our ability to maximize revenue per member through engagement in multiple condition management programs.
+Added: Increase the eligible populations within customers .
+Added: The expansion of our solution set to include MSK and behavioral health increases our ability to cover larger portions of our customers’ populations, thereby reducing the need for our customers to engage multiple vendors, and reducing their costs as compared to the alternative of partnering with multiple solutions to cover the conditions and categories that we cover on one single platform.
+Added: The addition of medical conditions on our platform in the future can also accelerate the eligible populations for our services.
+Added: Drive Engagement .
Our business model is predominantly a subscription model, where we charge per user engaged on the platform.
−Removed: As our AI matures and as we deploy increasingly dynamic and adaptive personalization, we intend to engage a large portion of eligible
−Removed: populations, potentially driving increased revenue.
−Removed: A user is considered as an engaged user if (i) the user is measuring high
−Removed: blood glucose and/or blood pressure using our app and our connected devices, (ii) a user is interacting with our coach via
−Removed: one of the communication channels such as chat, SMS, email or phone call, or (iii) a user who is performing one of the following
−Removed: activities on his application such as:
−Removed: reading messages of articles sent to him over the app, setting or updating goal on his application,
−Removed: updating his profile, tagging meals, recording intake of drugs and other activities available on our application.
−Removed: solutions for value .
+Added: As our AI matures and as we deploy increasingly dynamic and adaptive personalization, we intend to engage a large portion of eligible populations, potentially driving increased revenue.
+Added: Optimize solutions for value .
Our customers primarily engage for 2 key reasons:
−Removed: (1) the opportunity for cost savings;
−Removed: competitive advantage in breadth of conditions serviced and our AI technology;
−Removed: and (3) revenue opportunities from our digital
−Removed: center of excellence.
−Removed: Our pricing strategy is designed to deliver return on investment to our customers soon after engagement,
−Removed: and steadily over time.
−Removed: As we evolve our solutions to deliver increased value to our users, we can offer customers value-based
−Removed: pricing models that can lead to greater revenue.
−Removed: and Partnerships .
−Removed: In early 2021, as part of our plan to expand our suite of offerings to provide a wider range of solutions
−Removed: to our potential customers, we acquired Upright, and we are now planning to deploy a comprehensive MSK virtual
−Removed: clinic in the second half of 2021.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on health.
−Removed: Our members and eligible members were disproportionately
−Removed: affected as researched showed that chronic condition comorbidities increased the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
−Removed: In 2020, telehealth and digital care spiked significantly, as health plans and providers sought to deliver solutions virtually.
−Removed: Across the industry, telehealth use spiked in 2020 and has since withdrawn some, albeit to still more than 50x pre-pandemic levels.
−Removed: However, telehealth as delivered today is not appreciably different from how it was delivered 30 years ago, with largely telephone
−Removed: only visits, and even where video is present, remote monitoring, real-time data and device integration remain mostly absent.
−Removed: customers and potential customers recognize the tremendous potential of building on the shift to telehealth with the evolution
−Removed: of more complete virtual care models as they see the limitations of pure telehealth-based care for chronic conditions.
−Removed: Sales and Marketing
−Removed: Our initial marketing
−Removed: efforts in the United States were focused on the early adopter users who have diabetes and who are paying out of pocket for their
−Removed: monitoring tools to manage their chronic condition, and we have concentrated our efforts in gaining market share and brand awareness
−Removed: through direct-to-consumer marketing efforts.
−Removed: In 2018, we began to
−Removed: expand our marketing efforts to the insured population by offering our DarioEngage platform to a variety of healthcare providers
−Removed: who are supporting and coaching individuals with diabetes.
−Removed: We believe this will help us to diversify our revenues, from only selling
−Removed: our Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System and its consumables to revenues generated from providing online real-time monitoring,
−Removed: supervising and coaching capabilities to all relevant healthcare providers who support individuals with diabetes and hypertension,
−Removed: and in the longer terms also other chronic conditions.
−Removed: As part of these efforts, during 2019 we announced our planned cooperation
−Removed: with Attain Health, Giant Eagle, BestBuy, and Better Living Now (BLN).
−Removed: On the marketing side,
−Removed: we primarily utilize online marketing in order to create awareness of Dario.
−Removed: Rather than solely rely on an online advertisement,
−Removed: we will also consider revenue sharing with affiliate networks and a variety of other pay-for-performance methods commonly used
−Removed: in online commerce.
−Removed: We also expect to collaborate
−Removed: with the medical community to showcase what we expect will be the Dario Smart Diabetes Management Solution’s clinical equivalence
−Removed: and usability superiority through DarioEngage and Dario Loop.
−Removed: As part of transforming
−Removed: our offering from the direct-to-consumer market to the (B2B2C and payors market, in the beginning of 2020, we hired a President
−Removed: and General Manager for North America who is leading our sales and marketing organization in the United States aimed to offer
−Removed: our digital solution to health plans, employers, hospital, clinics, and remote patient monitoring centers.
−Removed: We expect this organization
−Removed: to grow as we enter into service agreements with such payors.
−Removed: In that regard, in 2020, we announced a variety of agreements expanding
−Removed: our sales in the B2B2C market including:
−Removed: (i) in January 2021, our announcement that we entered into an agreement to
−Removed: provide its digital therapeutics solution to eligible employees of a subsidiary of a U.S.
−Removed: based Fortune 500 technology and engineering
−Removed: company, which was obtained through our partnership with the Vitality Group (“Vitality”);
−Removed: (ii) in December 2020,
−Removed: we announced that we entered into an agreement to provide our RPM solution to Presbyterian
−Removed: Medical Services, one of the largest integrated healthcare systems in the State of New Mexico, effective January 1,
−Removed: (iii) in November 2020, we announced that we entered into an agreement to provide our digital therapeutics solution
−Removed: to eligible employees of a U.S.-based Fortune 500 technology company;
−Removed: (iv) in October 2020, we announced our
−Removed: inclusion in Vitality’s Gateway Flex offering, allowing our digital therapeutics platform to be marketed to Vitality's vast
−Removed: employer base that provides benefits solutions to 20 million people, (v) in September 2020, we announced our partnership
−Removed: with HMC Healthworks, that extends our reach into HMC's vast multi-employer client base through which HMC is currently managing
−Removed: more than one million members;
−Removed: (vi) in July 2020, we announced that we entered the U.K.
−Removed: RPM market through an agreement
−Removed: with Williams Medical, making our platform available to healthcare professionals throughout the U.K.
−Removed: June 2020, we announced two RPM agreements in the U.S., allowing healthcare providers to monitor patients between office
−Removed: visits while utilizing new CMS reimbursement codes, an added source of revenue.
−Removed: Manufacturing
−Removed: As we do not directly
−Removed: manufacture our products ourselves, we have supply agreements with manufacturers for the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System,
−Removed: glucose test strips, lancing devices, lancets, blood pressure monitor and weight scale.
−Removed: We have arrangements in place
−Removed: with commercial-scale manufacturers for both the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System, for our test strips and the other
−Removed: As a result of investments, we have made over the past several years, we own the specialized equipment used to manufacture Dario
−Removed: Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
−Removed: During 2015, we commenced
−Removed: the manufacturing of our Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System with a Chinese manufacturer as part of our efforts to further reduce
−Removed: manufacturing cost.
−Removed: At the beginning of 2016, we transitioned our manufacturing to a new Chinese manufacturer as part of our effort
−Removed: to increase our manufacturing capacity and improve cost savings.
−Removed: product offering is primarily subscription based software and services which do not require manufacturing, and which are
−Removed: developed by us.
−Removed: Clinical Studies and Outcomes
−Removed: Our platform is planned
−Removed: to target different chronic conditions.
−Removed: Our initial focus has been on diabetes because that is a condition in which we believe
−Removed: there is the biggest opportunity to make a meaningful impact and improve healthcare outcomes and lower costs.
−Removed: It is also a condition
−Removed: that is associated with multiple different comorbidities, each of which represents a significant health and economic burden.
−Removed: majority of our end-users are individuals with type 2 diabetes.
−Removed: Most people with type 2 diabetes are diagnosed after age 45 and
−Removed: have at least two co-existing chronic conditions.
−Removed: The most common chronic condition in people living with type 2 diabetes include
−Removed: hypertension (73.6%), overweight/obesity (87.5%), hyperlipidemia (75.2%), chronic kidney disease (36.5%), and cardiovascular disease
−Removed: Typically, the health of people with type 2 diabetes is managed by a primary care physician, although few may also be
−Removed: seen by an endocrinologist.
−Removed: On average, people
−Removed: with type 2 diabetes see a physician more than five times per year.
−Removed: While there are a number of metrics that physicians use to
−Removed: track the health of these patients, the most common is hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c, which measures the average 90-day glycemic (blood
−Removed: glucose) level in red blood cells.
−Removed: Clinical guidelines published by the ADA suggest that a reasonable HbA1c target for many non-pregnant
−Removed: adults is less than 7%, or 154 milligrams per deciliter.
−Removed: A higher HbA1c has been associated with increased health risk and associated
−Removed: The ADA estimates that annual healthcare costs for a person with diabetes cost an average of $16,750 compared to $7,151
−Removed: for a healthy individual.
−Removed: Research published by Oxford University in the United Kingdom suggests that a 1% reduction in HbA1c levels
−Removed: leads to a 21% reduction in death from diabetes, a 14% reduction in heart attacks and a 43% reduction in peripheral vascular disease.
−Removed: Monitoring HbA1c levels is typically done through routine blood work in a clinical laboratory with a physician order.
−Removed: can involve a range of therapies, the most common of which is lifestyle management such as nutrition, physical activity and medication.
−Removed: Physicians will also employ various strategies to manage diabetes-associated comorbidities.
−Removed: We believe that patients
−Removed: using a digital diabetes management platform have the potential to promote behavioral modification and sustain adherence to diabetes
−Removed: management, demonstrating better glycemic control.
−Removed: Our sophisticated customer-focused solutions provide significant, meaningful
−Removed: improvements in the measurable clinical outcomes of our members.
+Added: the opportunity for cost savings and our competitive advantage in breadth of conditions serviced and our AI technology.
+Added: Our pricing strategy is designed to deliver return on investment to our customers soon after engagement, and steadily over time.
+Added: As we evolve our solutions to deliver increased value to our users, we can offer customers value-based pricing models that can lead to greater revenue.
+Added: The onboarding of client populations across multiple product lines requires the ability to outreach and engage to large numbers of individuals in a coordinated and responsive manner.
+Added: We are focused on scaling operations to meet the rapid growth our of enterprise client member base by investing in platform and process technologies.
+Added: We also maintain supply agreements with commercial-scale manufacturers to produce our consumer devices, and owns the specialized equipment used to manufacture the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
