$DRIO: DarioHealth® Clinical Study Data Shows the Dario Membership Program Assists Diabetes Patients in Achieving Pre-Diabetic Blood-Glucose Levels and Consistent In-Range Measurements
Dario Membership users with diabetes achieved a 39% increase of in-range, blood-glucose measurements
45% of the study group reduced their average blood-glucose levels to under 140 mg/dL, in line with a pre-diabetes level
NEW YORK and CAESAREA, Israel, Aug. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) ("DarioHealth" or "Dario"
, a leading global, digital therapeutics company, presented new clinical data yesterday at the American Association of Diabetes Educators ("AADE" conference in Houston, Texas, which showed remarkable improvements in average blood-glucose levels and in-range measurements in patients with diabetes using Dario's digital therapeutics platform and dedicated one-on-one personal health coaching.
DarioHealth's digital therapeutics platform delivers evidence-based interventions to users that are driven by precision data analytics, high quality software and personalized coaching, which are available through personalized user membership plans. The clinical study data presented at the AADE conference included users enrolled in Dario's full membership plan, which is available to payers, providers and consumers online.
The results of the study suggest that personal health coaching, combined with regular health information captured on the Dario app, such as blood-glucose levels, food and exercise, can significantly assist diabetes patients in managing and improving their chronic condition and potentially lower their blood-glucose levels to be in line with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggested A1c goals of 6.5% (equivalent to 140 mg/dL blood-glucose average) for certain diabetic patients.
The Dario study was based on the analysis of clinical data of 162 Dario users. In order to establish a baseline blood-glucose level prior to commencement of the study, the Dario users study group consistently measured their blood-glucose levels one month prior to starting the Dario personal coaching program. Once the study began, these users received regular digital monitoring of their blood-glucose levels throughout the day, and direct personal coaching support from a Dario health coach for three months, while measuring their blood-glucose levels more than 30 times per month, on average, throughout the study.
The clinical outcomes observed showed that Dario's blood-glucose monitoring system, coupled with personal Dario coaching, successfully assisted a large percentage of users in managing their blood-glucose levels to be in line with what would be considered pre-diabetes levels:
45% (73 out of 162) of the study group reduced their average blood-glucose levels to under 140 mg/dL, which is considered a pre-diabetic measurement according to ADA guidelines;
All study users (162 cohort) reduced their average blood-glucose levels by 6% (155±42.1 mg/dL) while participating in the three-month study (compared to a baseline level of 165±48.7 mg/dL);
Additionally, a subgroup of 101 users of the 162 cohort began the study with average blood-glucose levels that exceeded 140 mg/dL and experienced a 39% increase of in-range blood-glucose measurements versus the study baseline, and an 11% reduction in average blood-glucose levels (171±38.0 mg/dL) after three months (versus the study baseline level of 191±43.5 mg/dL).
Olivier Jarry, President and Chief Commercial Officer at DarioHealth, commented on the study saying, "It is a great honor to present the results of this study at the AADE conference, which shows that personalized coaching, combined with consistent digital monitoring of blood glucose and other health and lifestyle parameters, leads to increased user engagement and better health outcomes for individuals with diabetes."
"At DarioHealth, it is our objective to set the clinical data standards in the digital therapeutics industry to help users achieve meaningful outcomes and improved self-management. We believe that the results of this study provide further evidence of the real value that our program delivers to our users," said Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of DarioHealth.
"These study results further prove that Dario's diabetes solutions can assist users in modifying their behavior to achieve improved glycemic levels. A blood-glucose level of less than 140mg/dL is an important threshold for a diabetes patient, as the ADA suggests stringent A1c goals of 6.5% (equivalent to 140 mg/dL) for certain diabetic patients, if such levels can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia. Moreover, retaining blood glucose at targeted ADA levels helps people with diabetes avoid serious complications from their health condition," said Mr. Raphael.
Dario offers a digital blood-glucose monitoring system accessible through its mobile phone app; modules to regularly monitor medication, weight, blood pressure, food and exercise; weekly progress reports; personalized coaching guidance for individual users; feedback alerts; relevant content delivery and follow-up with dedicated professionals via in-app chats features, emails and calls. The results of the study show that combining digital and human coaching can be an effective tool in promoting user self-care, which is a central goal of Dario. The system helps users understand their real-time clinical status, the cause and effect of different behaviors and how to best manage better their condition and improve their clinical outcomes.
