direct-to-consumer
and pharma channels
NEW YORK
, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — January 14, 2025 — DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO) (“Dario” or the “Company”), a leader in the global digital health market, today announced a collaboration with MediOrbis, a multi-specialty digital health provider, to add prescribing capabilities to Dario’s GLP-1 behavior change solution for a comprehensive medical weight loss program. This strategic addition creates a fully integrated solution for employers covering weight-loss medications and supports direct-to-consumer offerings, expanding Dario’s addressable market in one of the fastest-growing segments of digital health.
Employer coverage of GLP-1 medications for weight loss continues to grow, with a recent survey from Mercer showing 44% of large employers now covering obesity drugs.[1] As more employers cover obesity medications, the rising costs of these drugs highlight the need for strategic plan designs that ensure judicious use of medications in close collaboration with behavior change programs to drive sustainable clinical outcomes while maximizing return-on-investment (ROI). Dario’s aim is to ensure the drug is prescribed to the right people and to facilitate successful onboarding and offboarding processes. The Company leverages its unique expertise in behavior change to guide users through a healthy and effective GLP-1 journey, resulting in real, sustainable weight loss through lifelong healthy lifestyle modification. This new collaboration enhances Dario’s comprehensive GLP-1 solution by adding a key physician oversight including prescribing capability, positioning the Company to potentially drive recurring revenue and expand its addressable market in response to growing employer demand for holistic, cost-effective weight management programs.
Dario works with employers to support a wide range of GLP-1 benefits strategies by delivering the GLP-1 behavior change solution as required under plan design to help employees successfully lose weight and improve measurable results before, during and after the use of a GLP-1 medication. The addition of MediOrbis prescribing capabilities extends Dario’s ability to optimize outcomes and ROI for employers by layering seamless access to care across the behavior change journey for people who are most likely to benefit from the addition of a GLP-1 medication.
“The GLP-1 market is rapidly expanding, but employers need more than access to medications—they need a solution that drives long-term health improvements and cost savings,” said Steven Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer at Dario. “Our new collaboration with MediOrbis completes our end-to-end GLP-1 solution, enabling us to meet this demand by combining virtual prescribing with proven behavior change programs. We believe that this strategic move positions Dario to capture more opportunities in the employer and direct-to-consumer markets while delivering actionable insights to our pharma partners, opening new pathways for recurring revenue.”
Dr. Omar Manejwala, Chief Medical Officer at Dario commented: “Achieving sustainable weight loss with GLP-1 medications requires more than just a prescription—it demands continuous, personalized support to maintain results. We believe that our collaboration with MediOrbis strengthens our ability to provide seamless, high-quality virtual care that complements our behavior change programs, ensuring members achieve meaningful health outcomes while employers see long-term value from their investment.”
Dr. Jonathan Wiesen, Co – Founder and Chief Medical Officer of MediOrbis commented: “We are excited to collaborate with Dario to leverage digital care to address and manage obesity and other specialty and chronic illnesses, which are the most prevalent and resource-consumptive health conditions. This collaboration allows us to continue to seek to innovate and develop meaningful clinical programs that impact the health, productivity and well-being of employees worldwide.”
