(NASDAQ: DRIO), a smart diabetes solution, and HighTechXL, a corporate-backed accelerator based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, announce their strategic collaboration to bring personalized healthcare management to diabetes and pre-diabetes patients around the world.

Backed by an alliance of corporations and regional organizations, including Philips, the HighTechXL Acceleration program selected DarioHealth because of its strong management team, innovative business model, and smart solutions for diabetes management.

DarioHealth develops cloud-based diabetes platforms that include a native mobile solution helping patients to manage diabetes related information and a platform that facilitates coaching. The all-in-one Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System is capable of sharing real-time results with healthcare professionals via the personalized AI-driven application.

Globally, DarioHealth is already cleared by four major regulatory bodies including Health Canada, CE, TGA, and the U.S. FDA for both iOS and certain Android devices. The product is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Israel, and Italy. In addition, DarioHealth has received reimbursement coverage for plans in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, and Canada, and is also covered by 3rd-party insurance agreements in the United States.

Guus Frericks, Managing Director of HighTechXL acknowledges: "We were impressed by DarioHealth's solution and by the execution capabilities of the company. The company managed to create and enroll a very user-centric solution that is truly data-driven and personalized. We believe HighTechXL's team experience and network can help DarioHealth accelerate its penetration to market and get its product to millions of patients over the world."

Erez Raphael, Chairman and CEO of DarioHealth commented: "We are extremely honored and proud to be selected by the Philips-backed accelerator. We believe the industry is transforming from a device-driven industry to a personalized managed care, data and clinical outcome driven industry. It is encouraging that Philips' executives share the same vision. We are looking forward to collaborate with the accelerator team and find new ways to accelerate our growth."

The HighTechXL Accelerator is a three-month, corporate-backed program designed to accelerate startups to their next stage of development, including to help them gain broader customer traction and secure development partnerships. In addition, the program team facilitates the possibility for scaling companies to explore options including starting a pilot project with the corporations constituting the HighTechXL partner network, or integrating their product or service into the corporation's existing business line.

For the selection of its latest batch, the HighTechXL team invited 75 startups and scale-ups from 23 different countries. Selected companies were invited to participate in a joint three-day selection event by HighTechXL and Get in the Ring in collaboration with ABN AMRO bank, ASML, EY, NTS-Group, and Philips. 35 of the 75 companies were focused on the development of healthcare solutions and medical devices.

DarioHealth competed in a medical technology track, during which companies were given the opportunity to assess the fit of their business and technology propositions against Philip's current product lines with executives and innovation managers.
