National Medicare Health Plan Partners with Twill by Dario to Promote Healthy Aging with New Digital Mental Health Benefits for Seniors

The new contract significantly expands Dario's footprint with more than a million eligible members beginning January 2025

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO) ("Dario" or the "Company"), a leader in the global digital health market, announced today a new contract with a national Medicare Advantage health plan (the "Plan") to launch its behavioral health solution for the Plan members beginning in January 2025.

This new contract marks the beginning of a strategic relationship, starting with Dario's behavioral health solution, Twill by Dario, in 2025 and potentially expanding to additional Dario solutions in 2026 and beyond. The contract is expected to be a significant contributor to the annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth in Dario's Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) channel in 2025. This is the fourth national health plan that Dario has contracted with, bringing the total to seven health plans overall and marking the first national health plan contract in the Medicare Advantage market.

The Plan selected Dario to offer a single solution to support healthy aging by addressing broad emotional health and well-being with integrated capabilities to address the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). Dario's AI-based network navigation will provide the ability to integrate support across community resources and help direct members to the right health plan benefits, optimizing support for a wide variety of needs related to SDoH. Older individuals engaging with Dario's digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) programs will enjoy a tailored experience designed for seniors to support healthy aging and drive improved behavioral health outcomes.

Emotional health is a crucial aspect of the overall health of seniors. In addition to existing mental health disorders, many seniors experience mental health needs arising from changing life circumstances, such as the loss of a loved one or serious illness and may require support that extends beyond traditional mental health care. Dario's behavioral health solution is proven to effectively engage seniors and improve mental health with evidence-based programs and emotional health and well-being support that includes healthcare professionals, curated content, and peer-to-peer communities.

"There is a misconception that seniors will not engage with digital health, but our data tells us that is just a myth. Pre-Twill, the senior population on the Dario's platform was roughly 30%, a number that will expand with this partnership. The high comorbidity rate between metabolic and mental health conditions is something that Dario is prepared to address upon expansion of this partnership down the road. Seniors will engage with solutions that are tailored and relevant to their unique needs, and we've proven this across behavioral health and chronic health needs," said Steven Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer at Dario. "We are excited about the momentum of our B2B2C core channel to health plans and employers. The addition of another national health plan to our client base provides significant opportunity for revenue expansion and allows us to implement our newly refined enrollment and engagement technologies into a wider population of members. We believe that our comprehensive product offering not only helps secure more revenue from new clients but also generates additional revenues from existing clients by exposing them to additional products or larger populations. The B2B2C channel is contributing more than 70% of our revenues as of the first quarter of 2024, and we expect it to continue growing as a result of such contracts."
