CAESAREA, Israel, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB: DRIO), today announced it has been granted a patent  from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for  U.S. Patent No. 9,125,549 on September 8, 2015. The patent titled, "Fluids Testing Apparatus and Methods of Use" broadens and builds upon the IP rights previously granted to Dario in the U.S. through a patent issued in 2014 that addresses how the Dario™ blood glucose monitor draws power from and transmits data to a smart phone via the audio jack port. The new patent broadens these claims to include testing of other bodily fluids through an audio jack connection.

"This is a very important patent that expands our IP rights in the U.S. beyond the market for glucose monitoring for diabetes to the diagnostics and management for a broad range of health related conditions including other chronic diseases," stated LabStyle President and Chief Executive Officer Erez Raphael. "Through our proprietary technology, we can test bodily fluids including blood, urea and saliva to measure not just glucose but other health indicators as well, all through audio jack connections on smart phones and other digital devices."

The patent comes at an important time, as the Dario has been submitted for marketing clearance to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through a form 510K. LabStyle anticipates a response from the FDA in the coming months.

According to market research firm Global Data, the use of mobile technology in managing chronic conditions will grow to $8 billion by 2018.
