+Added: Dario is revolutionizing how people with chronic conditions manage their health through the innovation of a new category of digital health:
Digital Therapeutics as a Service (“DTaaS”).
−Removed: 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: We believe that our innovative approach to digital therapeutics disrupts the traditional provider-centered system of healthcare delivery by offering user-centric care that is continuous, customized supportive of better overall health.
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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Market Environment
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: According to the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S.
−Removed: spent $4.1 trillion on health care in 2020, with 75% of the costs attributed to care for chronic conditions.
−Removed: We believe that addressing the cost challenges in chronic condition management will require three main shifts.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Telehealth addresses the synchronous portion of the problem, while digital health provides continuous support at scale.
−Removed: Finally, value-driven care should become the standard.
−Removed: 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: Our solutions are proven to drive savings for health plans and employers by improving the health of their populations.
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.
−Removed: In the last two years, we made two strategic shifts to transform our business:
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: In addition, we began targeting three traditional health business verticals – health plans, employers, and provider groups.
−Removed: As a result, we believe that our new B2B business now leverages our consumer-centric capabilities as a competitive advantage.
−Removed: 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: Beginning in 2020, Dario enacted a strategic shift to transform the business model by deploying a business-to-business-to-consumer (“B2B2C”) approach, leveraging the strengths of our consumer solution platform to enable commercial growth opportunities in traditional health business channels by selling to health plans and employers.
+Added: At the same time, we 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Our acquisition of Upright Technologies Ltd.
−Removed: (“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.
−Removed: (dba wayForward) in mid-2021.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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: After building weight loss and hypertension management into the legacy diabetes platform, we made three acquisitions in order to expand into musculoskeletal (“MSK”) and behavioral health (“BH”).
+Added: In that regard, we acquired Upright Technologies Ltd.
+Added: (“Upright”), PsyInnovations Inc.
+Added: (“PsyInnovations”) and Physimax Technology assets to expand into the fields of MSK and BH .
+Added: Our 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..
+Added: These two shifts led to the rapid expansion of our B2B2C business over the last two years and positioned the company for success in commercial markets.
+Added: We continue to achieve key benchmarks as we rapidly scale our B2B2C model, including more than 100 total signed contracts as of today and the shift in our commercial pipeline where more
+Added: than 50% of the contracts signed in the second half of 2022 are for multi-chronic solutions.
+Added: We believe we have a unique and defensible position in the market thanks to our unique solution origin in consumer markets.
+Added: We continue to generate a significant number of clinical publications.
+Added: In that regard, we the have published 38 real world data studies with total of 10 generated in 2022, and several more already planned for 2023.

+Added: In February 2023, on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, we expanded the Board by one seat and appointed Jon Kaplan as a member of the Board.
+Added: Market Landscape
+Added: The traditional healthcare industry is siloed and service-centric, and it is difficult for people to access care and support, while the healthcare experience itself remains cumbersome and disconnected.
+Added: The future of health care is being shaped by digital health technologies that are rapidly becoming more important as access to traditional health care for the management of whole health becomes more difficult.
+Added: As a direct-to-consumer pioneer, we presciently identified shifting healthcare consumer behaviors early and designed solutions with the intent of enabling users with easy-to-use technologies that support adoption and engagement.
+Added: Our members demanded ease of access and personalization, generally absent in health care but a standard in other consumer service experiences, and our unique approach significantly exceeds those expectations with excellent ratings from our members.
+Added: Commercial digital health solutions currently perform poorly in this area, which leads to low engagement and weak outcomes.
+Added: As we expand our commercial business, we believe our consumer-centric solutions position us as a leader in digital health through a best-of-suite platform proven to deliver the experience people are demanding.
+Added: This enables our service-oriented business model by delivering the engagement our clients demand and yields a stable form of revenue through an Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) model.
+Added: Longer term, as the market for digital health solutions faces economic pressures, we believe our consumer origins arm has several natural advantages that will help propel our growth and cement our leadership position.
+Added: First, we amassed a trove of billions of data points from our consumer engagement and dozens of clinical publications including multiyear studies with approximately 50,000 participants.
+Added: Second, we built what we believe is the best-in-market clinical platform built with a focus on the overlapping chronic health needs present in our user base.
+Added: This shift from a single condition platform to a multi-condition platform enables our best-of-suite approach.
+Added: Two years post-shift from our business-to-consumer into a B2B2C business model, we believe that the financial impacts are validating our growth and DTaaS theses.
+Added: Our pro-forma gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, excluding acquisition related amortizations, has improved to 50% of revenues in 2022 compared to 39% of revenues in 2021.
+Added: In 2022, our commercial revenue exceeded our consumer revenue.
+Added: Competitive Strengths
+Added: We believe that we are proving the value of our solutions as enterprise business sales continue to grow.
