−Removed: Dario is revolutionizing how people with chronic conditions manage their health through the innovation of a new category of digital health:
−Removed: Digital Therapeutics as a Service (“DTaaS”).
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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: Our solutions are proven to drive savings for health plans and employers by improving the health of their populations.
−Removed: Twill, a company which we recently acquired, is a global, digital-first solution with a mission to improve the mental and physical health of people everywhere.
−Removed: Through Twill, we provide personalized and connected care that accelerates access to mental health and well-being through highly engaging evidence-based programs, supportive communities, human-led coaching and therapy.
−Removed: Twill’s solution is used by enterprises, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, and individuals around the world, and is available globally in 10 languages, covering more than 18 million lives.
−Removed: During the last few years, our strategy has been to evolve from point solution to a comprehensive multi condition platform.
−Removed: We have pursed this strategy since 2021, resulting in various acquisitions and the recent acquisition of Twill.
−Removed: We believe that digital health is undergoing a massive transformation, as innovators evolve from offering point solutions to more integrated approaches.
−Removed: We believe that we are uniquely poised to answer that call and usher in the next generation of digital health.
−Removed: Twill Acquisition
−Removed: With the integration of Twill, we believe that we can achieve multiple advantages as well as synergies in multiple fronts:
−Removed: Product offering
−Removed: Commercial channels
−Removed: Improved clients and member experience and economics
−Removed: Improved financial profile with accelerated path to profitability.
−Removed: Product Offering
−Removed: With Twill, we believe we have created the most comprehensive and engaging digital health platform to provide best-in-class support for mental well-being, maternal health, and the costliest chronic conditions.
−Removed: We believe that this unified approach will meet people where they are on their health journey and accelerate access to personalized support and connected care.
−Removed: With the combination of Twill, we also plan to tap into navigation technology “Twill Care” that helps take over the top of the funnel and help employers and health plans to enroll more members into the platform.
−Removed: With a unified platform, we believe that our platform addresses multiple health needs in a seamless user experience and represents a significant step forward to unlock the value of digital health for our members, clients, and partners.
−Removed: In addition, following the acquisition of Twill, we now have a combined wealth of data and insights across individual care journeys to guide strategy across a wide range of health needs.
−Removed: As a result, we believe that our unified set of solutions, delivering best-in-class outcomes, are now ready to optimize and scale for greater impact.
−Removed: Commercial Channels
−Removed: Following the acquisition of Dario and Twill, we are sharing the exact same channels for product offering delivery:
−Removed: ● Health Plans
−Removed: In our experience over the last few years, we believe that payers would like to utilize one integrated solution.
−Removed: We now have synergies with Twill where we can offer such an integrated solution.
−Removed: In addition, our acquisition of Twill creates immediate scale, with four of the five top health plans, multiple Fortune 100 employers, and several major pharmaceutical companies as customers.
−Removed: Improved client and member experience and economics
−Removed: Following the acquisition of Twill, we believe we will see a significant improvement in higher revenue per every dollar invested into sales and marketing.
−Removed: We expect improvement in all metrics:
−Removed: more eligible lives to support, improved enrollment rate, higher engagement, and also higher revenue per user on average from total lives.
−Removed: It all starts with the ability to deliver a streamlined and holistic member journey.
−Removed: With industry-leading activation rates, Twill’s immediate access to mental health and well-being support significantly expands our reach across populations.
−Removed: We are then able to keep members engaged through a variety of health and condition areas to meet their dynamic needs.
−Removed: We use billions of consumer data insights to drive 80% retention after one year.
−Removed: Addressing each person’s well-being is the key to delivering lasting behavior change.
−Removed: We are aiming to reach more people by providing them with an approachable entry point to care and a more holistic solution to whole body health.
−Removed: The acquisition of Twill allows us to do more in one place, incorporating some of the most common and interconnected health conditions, to drive more value for both members and customers.
−Removed: Not only does the combination of our complementary solutions address the market need for more integrated solutions but the combination of two digitally led companies enables us to continue innovating without the usual requirements for deep investment to deliver the ultimate value for our stakeholders’ better outcomes at lower cost to accelerate profitability.
−Removed: Improved financial profile
−Removed: We believe that the synergies following our acquisition of Twill are also on the organization and operations levels, as both companies are technology companies operating in the health care industry and focusing on the consumer to achieve clinical performance.
−Removed: Given the synergies above we anticipate improvement in the combined entity financial profile including the potential for 30% annualized cost synergies within two years, a potential increase in revenues on a pro forma basis, an increase in margins and an accelerated path to profitability in 2025 through revenue scale, increased gross margins and cost synergies.
−Removed: 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: 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.
−Removed: 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:
−Removed: 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 (“MSK”) and behavioral health (“BH”).
−Removed: In that regard, we acquired Upright Technologies Ltd.
−Removed: (“Upright”), PsyInnovations Inc.
−Removed: (“PsyInnovations”) and Physimax Technology assets to expand into the fields of MSK and BH.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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 than 50% of the contracts signed in the second half of 2022 are for multi-chronic solutions.
−Removed: We believe we have a unique and defensible position in the market thanks to our unique solution origin in consumer markets.
−Removed: In that regard, we have worked with various health care plans, including Aetna, to provide our platform to their members.
−Removed: In January 2024, we launched the Aetna platform with several customers, and we have continued to add customers that are planned for launches through the second quarter of 2024.
−Removed: We have already seen a strong start to the 2024 employer sales cycle with larger opportunities compared to 2023.
−Removed: We anticipate additional health plan customers in 2024 directly and through our partners that cover more than 87 million members.
−Removed: We continue to generate a significant number of clinical publications.
−Removed: In that regard, we have published 47 real world data studies with total of 10 generated in 2022, 10 generated in 2023, and several more planned for 2024.
+Added: Business Overview

+Added: We are committed to transforming healthcare by delivering a comprehensive and highly engaging whole-person health platform, which enables us to create a future where healthy change is effortless and accessible to all.
+Added: At the core of our mission and vision is engagement.
+Added: We believe that most existing digital health solutions in the market fail to deliver improved health outcomes because users are not engaged due to a lack relevance, personalization, consumerization, and longitudinal data and information.
+Added: We, and our acquired companies, first commercialized our digital behavioral health products in the direct-to-consumer (“D2C”) marketplace, and we continue to use the D2C marketplace as a sandbox and laboratory to innovation.
+Added: These consumers pay for these digital health products out of their own pockets and are therefore the most value driven among all healthcare consumers.
+Added: These consumers demanded that we deliver highly engaging user experiences that deliver strong clinical health outcomes for which consumers will pay.
+Added: The bottom line is that if users are not engaged in digital solutions over a long period of time, they cannot change their behavior and they cannot get healthier – we first deliver engagement followed by sustained behavior change that then leads to measurable health outcomes and improvement.
+Added: We believe that our D2C marketplace roots and continued focus delivers better user experiences, longer sustained engagement, stronger clinical outcomes, at the most affordable prices, that then delivers the highest return on investment (“ROI”) in the industry.
+Added: Our whole-person health model includes the following five elements:
+Added: Physical Health:
+Added: Focuses on the prevention, and treatment of physical ailments;
+Added: primarily cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal conditions.

+Added: Leveraging advanced analytics, data-driven AI precision and personalization, a deep understanding of consumer behavior, user-centric technology, and a holistic approach, we provide tailored interventions that meet the unique needs of each user to deliver the health industry’s highest levels of user activation and sustained engagement.
+Added: Our digital self-care solutions ensure optimal levels of clinical outcomes with the highest levels of clinical efficacy by empowering users to overcome the psychological, social, and physical barriers to effective and sustainable behavior change.
+Added: With our whole-person digital health platform, we address a broad range of health needs, including chronic condition management (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and musculoskeletal issues), behavioral health (e.g., stress, anxiety, and depression), and preventive care.
+Added: By integrating digital therapeutics and well-being solutions with real-time data monitoring and access to professional care teams, we ensure an AI driven adaptive and continuous care experience that combines digital self-care, with virtual coaching, and virtual clinical care.
+Added: As of 2024, our eligible user base spans millions of individuals worldwide, supported by partnerships with employers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, and providers aiming to deliver instant access to the highest quality and most effective self-care and virtual human care that delivers the optimal level of clinical utilization to ensure the best value and outcomes to our users and customers.
+Added: We serve four primary market segments that drive our business model.
+Added: Our historic roots, as well as those of our largest acquisition, Twill, Inc.
+Added: (“Twill”), began in the D2C market, which has forced us to create what we consider the industry’s most engaging and effective self-care whole-person digital health solutions;
+Added: and we continue to operate in the D2C market in the U.S.
+Added: by providing our chronic condition management and patient engagement solutions across many different health conditions.
+Added: In addition, we use the D2C market as an innovation laboratory to develop and test new features and benefits to ensure that these innovations meet our high engagement and outcomes standards before deploying them in the business-to-business (“B2B”) market.
+Added: From our D2C origins, Dario and Twill expanded into similar B2B market segments over the past seven years such that these market segments now represent three-fourths of our current revenues.
+Added: These B2B market segments include medium-to-large employers, national and regional health plans, and global pharmaceutical companies.
+Added: Our medium-to-large employer market segment is focused on employers with over 1,000 employees and currently includes three of the five largest global technology companies and one of the two largest employers in the United States.

+Added: Research indicates that 26.2% of patients discontinue GLP-1s at 3 months, with an additional 30.8 doing so at 6 mots, and 36.5% at 12 months;
+Added: with only 25% remaining on the medication after two years.
+Added: Once a patient discontinues use of the GLP-1, the typical patient regained two-thirds of their weight within one year.
+Added: For this reason, employers are eager to have their employees engaged in an effective digital behavioral health program while they are on a GLP-1 that will in crease their weight loss while on the medication and keep the weight off after discontinuation by helping the patient develop new, sustainable healthy habits.
+Added: Presently, 20% of our employer customers now subscribe to its GLP-1 offering, and we see this as an important growth engine in the future.
+Added: We have also found interest among pharmaceutical companies in providing our GLP-1 solution so support patients on their medication in developing healthy habits to improve outcomes.
+Added: Dario Flywheel Integrates All These Growth Strategies
+Added: Our strategy is to integrate all these growth strategies into a united whole through its flywheel as diagramed below, which shows how its B2B and D2C strategies feed one another to create greater value as follows:
+Added: More B2B Clients :
+Added: By getting more B2B customers it increases the number of users on the platform, which increases the data collected and used, increases the value to third-party and inhouse virtual clinical care networks, increases cross
+Added: condition and cross client monetization, such as from behavior health to cardiometabolic health, which increases the average revenue per user, and then increases the D2C users and value.
+Added: User come from both our B2B and D2C market strategies, which drives our data driven innovation, and our value to virtual human care services.

+Added: Refining AI-driven personalized healthcare by integrating real-time monitoring, improving predictive accuracy, and adapting models to personalized treatment plans.
+Added: Leveraging reinforcement learning enables continuous AI improvements based on patient feedback and outcomes.
+Added: • Operational Efficiency and Simplification :
+Added: We have several productivity initiatives in multiple areas such as Product Management, Member Services, and Human Resources.
+Added: We operate in a highly competitive digital health market, characterized by rapid innovation and evolving consumer expectations.
+Added: During the past five years, employers and health plans have expressed “point-solution fatigue” and have begun to decrease the number of their point-solution digital health vendors, and to consolidate their digital health vendors among those that provide multiple, integrated offerings.
+Added: This has driven substantial industry consolidation and has enabled us to differentiate itself as a consolidation leader among competitors as it provides a whole-person health care solutions covering six different medical conditions.
+Added: We see two primary dimensions emerging:
+Added: economies of scale and economies of scope.
+Added: The first dimension is an increased focus on ROI driving by economies of scale.
+Added: Recent surveys of employer’s priorities indicates that they want digital health solutions that have much lower costs that can be broadly deployed among their populations and deliver much higher ROIs than they have accepted in the past.
+Added: A 2:1 ROI is no longer adequate to meet the needs of employers and health plans.
+Added: For this reason, we have leveraged our AI investments, superior user engagement, highly effective user behavior change, and access to virtual digital care and services to deliver the highest ROIs in the industry that generally exceed 5:1.
+Added: The second dimension is driven by economies of scope that increases simplicity by decreasing the number of digital health vendor that deliver an increasingly broad scope of digital health offerings.
+Added: This simplifies contracting, reporting, value creation, access to users, and the creation of value for users, employers, and health plans.
+Added: With these two emerging value creation dimensions that are driving competitive advantage, we see the following companies as its primary competitors:
+Added: Broad-based Digital Health Platforms
+Added: Companies such as Teladoc Health, Inc.
+Added: and MDLive, an Evernorth company, offer a full array of integrated virtual care solutions for primary care, chronic and behavioral health.
+Added: While these companies have both scale and scope, they have not yet developed an operating model that deliver their services profitably at scale.
+Added: Cardiometabolic Health Platforms
+Added: There are other more narrowly focused companies such as Omada Health, Inc., Vida Health, Inc., Virta Health Corp, and Welldoc, Inc.
+Added: that focus on the B2B market.
+Added: And other D2C oriented companies such as Ro, Inc., Hims & Hers, Inc., Weight Watchers International, Inc., and Noom, Inc., that compete with us in the cardiometabolic and GLP-1 space.
+Added: Most of these companies lack the whole-personal digital health scope that we offer, and still deliver ROIs that are half of what customers expect and demand.
+Added: Behavioral Health Providers
+Added: Specialized mental health platforms like Spring Care, Inc., Lyra Health, Inc., Headspace, Inc., BetterHelp, Inc.
+Added: (a division of Teladoc), Calm.com, Inc., and Talkspace, Inc., compete in the B2B behavioral health marketplace.
+Added: All these companies focus narrowly on behavioral health with no plans to expand their scope to include additional chronic disease conditions.
+Added: Wearable Technology Firm
+Added: While we integrate with many wearable technology firm’s devices from companies such as Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple, these companies also provide some D2C offerings that could be considered as competitors to our D2C products.
+Added: However, these companies do not truly compete in the B2B employer, health plan, and pharmaceutical marketplace with
+Added: competitive comprehensive behavioral and cardiometabolic offerings.
+Added: As such, we do not see these companies are true competitors.
+Added: Traditional Healthcare Systems and Health Plans
+Added: While many health systems may have their own home-grown solutions for many of the conditions that we address, few really provide a commercially competitive offering beyond their own network.
+Added: The same is generally true for most health plans, which primarily focus on vendors like us to provide chronic and behavioral health solutions to their members.
+Added: Given this competitive landscape, we differentiate ourself through our integrated whole-person health approach, AI and data-driven personalization, and commitment to user-centric design to deliver industry leading levels of sustained user engagement.
+Added: Our focus on measurable outcomes and strong partnerships positions us as a leader in the digital health market that can deliver the economies of scale and scope that delivers the highest ROI and easiest delivery of its individual or bundled solutions.

−Removed: Dario’s Solution Main Components
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Users’ interactions with devices, smartphones, coaches, providers, and third-party solutions must be personalized
−Removed: along these axes to ensure optimal engagement, retention, and outcomes.
−Removed: Furthermore, to engage and sustain user interest and participation, and drive outcomes, platforms must be dynamically responsive.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Key to our ability to accommodate user behavioral changes is our mature AI-driven user journey engine.
−Removed: 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 142,000 users that joined our chronic-condition platform, enabling us to continually personalize and adapt user journeys themselves (and not just messages) over time.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Most digital health solutions consist primarily of tracking, content, and nudges.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: This results in reduced engagement and impaired outcomes.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: The engine is designed for integration and scale;
−Removed: as 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.
−Removed: Software Applications
−Removed: 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.
