New Research Shows 36% Reduction in 30-Day Hospital Readmission Rate for Dario Users with Type 2 Diabetes

New research demonstrates Dario's ability to reduce costs through lower utilization of expensive healthcare resources, and the winning of a prestigious gold ribbon award

NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) ("Dario" or the "Company"), a leader in the global digital health market, announced today new research presented by Sanofi U.S. at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's 2023 annual conference Nexus ("AMCP-Nexus"), demonstrating a 36% reduction in 30-day hospital readmissions for Dario users compared to non-users living with type 2 diabetes.

Research Demonstrates Significant Reductions in Costly Utilization Metrics

New data presented by Sanofi U.S. at AMCP-Nexus examined matched Dario users and non-users with type 2 diabetes to understand the impact of Dario's digital health solution. The research examined real-world claims data to determine whether users engaged with Dario's solution demonstrated less costly utilization of hospital-related utilization and found clinically meaningful impacts:

• 36% reduction in 30-day hospital readmission rate; and
• 1.6 fewer days in the hospital

The research is part of an ongoing study initiative conducted jointly by Dario and Sanofi U.S., and complements previously published studies presented at ISPOR demonstrating Dario's ability to reduce all-cause healthcare utilization by 9% and inpatient hospitalizations by 23%.

A panel of independent judges awarded the research the AMCP-Nexus Gold ribbon award after assessing for relevance, originality, quality, bias and clarity.

"Our research collaboration with Sanofi U.S. continues to yield strong results demonstrating the real, measurable value of digital health for payers. Helping people improve their self-care of diabetes to such a significant degree that we see a 36% reduction in 30-day hospital readmissions is an incredible testament to the power of Dario's highly personalized, consumer-centered digital health solution," said Omar Manejwala, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Dario.

"We are extremely pleased to see the quality of our research efforts being independently recognized by the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy. This recognition is testament to the commitment and dedication of our team and collaboration with Dario to deliver scientifically sound evidence to support informed decision-making in the best interest of patients," said Felix Lee, Medical Head of Digital Healthcare at Sanofi U.S.

Additional Studies Demonstrate Improvements in Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) Measurement Criteria and Engagement-Related Outcomes

Two additional analyses presented at AMCP Nexus by Sanofi U.S. examined clinical improvements in the same exact and propensity-score matched populations of Dario users and non-Dario users living with Type 2 diabetes.

The first analyzed Dario's ability to support HEDIS quality measurement criteria for HbA1c control, an important metric for Medicare and Medicaid health plans. The research showed 9% more Dario users achieved HbA1c below 8% (control) compared to non-users after 12 months and 13% less Dario users stayed above 9% (poor control).

The second examined the association between more frequent engagement with Dario's digital health solution and a reduction in HbA1c in adults living with type 2 diabetes, showing better clinical outcomes with more frequent engagement.
