DarioHealth Announces Strategic Partnership with CCS Medical
New initiative to provide diabetes patients across the U.S. with access to live monitoring and coaching via CCS Medical's LivingConnected program
Jul 24, 2017
Caesarea, Israel and Dallas - July 24, 2017 - DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO), a leading global digital health company with mobile health and big data solutions, today announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with CCS Medical and their LivingConnected clinical program.
Through this strategic agreement and proprietary API, DarioHealth is partnering with CCS Medical by providing live data access to CCS Medical for patients that join the LivingConnected clinical program using the DarioHealth native smartphone app. In addition, CCS Medical will take an active role in the DarioHealth Insurance Provider Network, thereby further growing DarioHealth's expansion into the insurance reimbursement option launched earlier this year.
The LivingConnected program is a cellular-enabled diabetes management program designed to give diabetes patients access to live monitoring and guidance when they have an adverse reading or trend in their blood sugar levels.
The goal of LivingConnected is to help patients manage their diabetes in real time, which helps prevent complications and improve their quality of life. Results of live readings can be shared with others, allowing immediate health coaching from Registered Nurses and Certified Diabetes Educators. Ongoing reports and education are also part of the coordination of the patient's care.
Sean Browne, Chief Revenue Officer of CCS Medical, commented, "We are enthusiastic about the DarioHealth partnership and expect significant growth in this segment of our business, due to the innovative nature of the DarioHealth technology."
Erez Raphael, Chairman and CEO of DarioHealth, commented, "CCS Medical is a leading provider of home medical supplies for patients with chronic conditions, including diabetes. This is a natural fit for us as it further strengthens our position in the U.S. market, because through our API, CCS Medical can offer additional value-added services to their customers. With this partnership, we aim to continue our market expansion, which is critical for DarioHealth as it aims to ramp up sales and market share in the second half of the year."
Following the development of DarioHealth's proprietary API, DarioHealth expects to enter into further strategic alliances over the coming months.
