Item 1. Business
PART I
Dario is revolutionizing how people with chronic conditions manage their health through the innovation of a new
category of digital health: Digital Therapeutics as a Service (“DTaaS”). We believe that our innovative approach to digital
therapeutics disrupts the traditional provider-centered system of healthcare delivery by offering user-centric care that is
continuous, customized supportive of better overall health. Our solutions combine the power of technologies and behavior
science to make better health accessible, affordable, and easy for all by solving for what people need, when and where they
want it, with hyper-personalized care that is always connected – to services, devices, and people – and delivered
continuously. Our solutions are proven to drive savings for health plans and employers by improving the health of their
populations.
Twill, a company which we recently acquired, is a global, digital-first solution with a mission to improve the
mental and physical health of people everywhere. Through Twill, we provide personalized and connected care that
accelerates access to mental health and well-being through highly engaging evidence-based programs, supportive
communities, human-led coaching and therapy. Twill’s solution is used by enterprises, health plans, pharmaceutical
companies, and individuals around the world, and is available globally in 10 languages, covering more than 18 million
lives.
During the last few years, our strategy has been to evolve from point solution to a comprehensive multi condition
platform. We have pursed this strategy since 2021, resulting in various acquisitions and the recent acquisition of Twill.
We believe that digital health is undergoing a massive transformation, as innovators evolve from offering point
solutions to more integrated approaches. We believe that we are uniquely poised to answer that call and usher in the next
generation of digital health.
Twill Acquisition

Table of Contents
With the integration of Twill, we believe that we can achieve multiple advantages as well as synergies in multiple
fronts:
1. Product offering
2. Commercial channels
3.
4.
Improved clients and member experience and economics
Improved financial profile with accelerated path to profitability.
Product Offering
With Twill, we believe we have created the most comprehensive and engaging digital health platform to provide
best-in-class support for mental well-being, maternal health, and the costliest chronic conditions. We believe that this
unified approach will meet people where they are on their health journey and accelerate access to personalized support and
connected care.
With the combination of Twill, we also plan to tap into navigation technology “Twill Care” that helps take over
the top of the funnel and help employers and health plans to enroll more members into the platform. With a unified
platform, we believe that our platform addresses multiple health needs in a seamless user experience and represents a
significant step forward to unlock the value of digital health for our members, clients, and partners. In addition, following
the acquisition of Twill, we now have a combined wealth of data and insights across individual care journeys to guide
strategy across a wide range of health needs. As a result, we believe that our unified set of solutions, delivering best-in-
class outcomes, are now ready to optimize and scale for greater impact.
Commercial Channels
Following the acquisition of Dario and Twill, we are sharing the exact same channels for product offering
delivery:
● Employers
● Health Plans
● Pharma
In our experience over the last few years, we believe that payers would like to utilize one integrated solution. We
now have synergies with Twill where we can offer such an integrated solution. In addition, our acquisition of Twill creates
immediate scale, with four of the five top health plans, multiple Fortune 100 employers, and several major pharmaceutical
companies as customers.
Improved client and member experience and economics
Following the acquisition of Twill, we believe we will see a significant improvement in higher revenue per every
dollar invested into sales and marketing. We expect improvement in all metrics: more eligible lives to support, improved
enrollment rate, higher engagement, and also higher revenue per user on average from total lives.
It all starts with the ability to deliver a streamlined and holistic member journey. With industry-leading activation
rates, Twill’s immediate access to mental health and well-being support significantly expands our reach across populations.
We are then able to keep members engaged through a variety of health and condition areas to meet their dynamic needs.
We use billions of consumer data insights to drive 80% retention after one year.
Addressing each person’s well-being is the key to delivering lasting behavior change. We are aiming to reach
more people by providing them with an approachable entry point to care and a more holistic solution to whole body health.
The acquisition of Twill allows us to do more in one place, incorporating some of the most common and interconnected
health conditions, to drive more value for both members and customers.

Table of Contents
Not only does the combination of our complementary solutions address the market need for more integrated
solutions but the combination of two digitally led companies enables us to continue innovating without the usual
requirements for deep investment to deliver the ultimate value for our stakeholders’ better outcomes at lower cost to
accelerate profitability.
Improved financial profile
We believe that the synergies following our acquisition of Twill are also on the organization and operations levels,
as both companies are technology companies operating in the health care industry and focusing on the consumer to achieve
clinical performance.
Given the synergies above we anticipate improvement in the combined entity financial profile including the
potential for 30% annualized cost synergies within two years, a potential increase in revenues on a pro forma basis, an
increase in margins and an accelerated path to profitability in 2025 through revenue scale, increased gross margins and cost
synergies.
Overview
We began as a direct-to-consumer digital therapeutics company, solving first for the problem of how to engage
users and support behavior change to improve clinical outcomes in diabetes. Beginning in 2020, Dario enacted a strategic
shift to transform the business model by deploying a business-to-business-to-consumer (“B2B2C”) approach, leveraging
the strengths of our consumer solution platform to enable commercial growth opportunities in traditional health business
channels by selling to health plans and employers.
At the same time, we expanded from a single-condition platform to a multi-condition platform, creating a robust
suite of solutions to address the five most commonly co-occurring, behaviorally driven, and expensive chronic conditions,
which are also representative of some of the most sought-after digital health solutions: diabetes, hypertension, pre-
diabetes/weight management, musculoskeletal and behavioral health. After building weight loss and hypertension
management into the legacy diabetes platform, we made three acquisitions in order to expand into musculoskeletal
(“MSK”) and behavioral health (“BH”). In that regard, we acquired Upright Technologies Ltd. (“Upright”), PsyInnovations
Inc. (“PsyInnovations”) and Physimax Technology assets to expand into the fields of MSK and BH. Our approach to
integrating all solutions into one digital therapeutics platform follows the “best-of-suite” offering design principal which
provides the user one place to monitor all identified chronic conditions and to deliver a seamless user experience for
commonly co-occurring chronic conditions.
These two shifts led to the rapid expansion of our B2B2C business over the last two years and positioned the
company for success in commercial markets. We continue to achieve key benchmarks as we rapidly scale our B2B2C
model, including more than 100 total signed contracts as of today and the shift in our commercial pipeline where more than
50% of the contracts signed in the second half of 2022 are for multi-chronic solutions. We believe we have a unique and
defensible position in the market thanks to our unique solution origin in consumer markets. In that regard, we have worked
with various health care plans, including Aetna, to provide our platform to their members. In January 2024, we launched
the Aetna platform with several customers, and we have continued to add customers that are planned for launches through
the second quarter of 2024. We have already seen a strong start to the 2024 employer sales cycle with larger opportunities
compared to 2023. We anticipate additional health plan customers in 2024 directly and through our partners that cover
more than 87 million members.
We continue to generate a significant number of clinical publications. In that regard, we have published 47 real
world data studies with total of 10 generated in 2022, 10 generated in 2023, and several more planned for 2024.
Recent Developments
Dario Published Research
In November 2023, we announced new research presented at the Diabetes Technology Society 2023 Meeting on
November 7, 2023. The new research demonstrated the value of associating physical activity tracking alongside blood
7
Table of Contents
sugar tracking for people living with diabetes and pre-diabetes. The new study examined the blood glucose and walking
data of 989 Dario users to understand the impact of integrating clinical and behavioral data in a single digital app-based
experience. The results demonstrated significantly reduced blood glucose levels in the first four months of using Dario and
increased step levels in the same timeframe maintained for 12 months. In addition, the results demonstrated clinically
significant reductions in blood glucose levels in users who tracked at least 400 steps per day.
In November 2023, we announced two new analyses recently presented by Sanofi U.S. demonstrating two
mediators associated with improved clinical and economic in Dario users. Presentations by Sanofi U.S. at the Diabetes
Technology Society (DTS) annual conference examined real-world data from matched Dario users and non-users with type
2 diabetes to determine the association of medication adherence from Dario's digital health solution with blood glucose
control. Dario users saw an overall clinically significant reduction in HbA1c and an associated 10.6% improvement in
medication adherence. The new research helps explain the results of a previously reported study on reductions in HbA1c,
because medication adherence is one behavioral component of self-care needed to achieve improved clinical outcomes. In
addition, Sanofi also presented research at ISPOR Europe 2023 of a new analysis showing more frequently engaged Dario
users were associated with 10% reduction in all-cause healthcare resource use over 100 days and were 15% less likely to
incur related charges. Engagement was defined by activities meaningful to diabetes management, such as taking a blood
glucose reading; inputting an insulin dose; recording physical activity or tagging a meal. This new analysis provides
additional information from previously reported study results demonstrating Dario's ability to contribute to a reduction in
all-cause healthcare utilization by 9% including inpatient hospitalizations by 23% compared to non-users at 12 months.
Employer Contracts
In November 2023, we announced a new contract to provide its cardiometabolic solution to an employer
beginning in January 2024. The employer, a national financial and business services company, selected Dario to improve
the cardiometabolic health of its population with an integrated solution for diabetes, pre-diabetes, weight management and
hypertension along with tailored support for employees taking a GLP-1, or anti-obesity, medications.
In December 2023, we announced today a new contract to provide cardiometabolic and GLP-1 solutions to a
national employer beginning in January 2024. The employer, a national logistics company, selected Dario to deliver
integrated support for employees living with diabetes, pre-diabetes, weight management and hypertension, while also
providing a tailored experience for employees taking a GLP-1 medication.
In January 2024, we announced today a new contract to provide its cardiometabolic solution to a regional union,
expected to begin in the first quarter of 2024. The Union, representing food industry workers, selected Dario to deliver
integrated support for employees living with diabetes, pre-diabetes and weight management needs along with special
support for those taking a GLP-1, or anti-obesity medication. The Union joins a growing set of public and labor clients
using Dario's solution to provide highly personalized chronic condition management solutions to their members.
Market Landscape
The traditional healthcare industry is siloed and service-centric, and it is difficult for people to access care and
support, while the healthcare experience itself remains cumbersome and disconnected. The future of health care is being
shaped by digital health technologies that are rapidly becoming more important as access to traditional health care for the
management of whole health becomes more difficult. As a direct-to-consumer pioneer, we presciently identified shifting
healthcare consumer behaviors early and designed solutions with the intent of enabling users with easy-to-use technologies
that support adoption and engagement.
Our members demanded ease of access and personalization, generally absent in health care but a standard in other
consumer service experiences, and our unique approach significantly exceeds those expectations with excellent ratings
from our members. Commercial digital health solutions currently perform poorly in this area, which leads to low
engagement and weak outcomes.
8
Table of Contents
As we expand our commercial business, we believe our consumer-centric solutions position us as a leader in
digital health through a best-of-suite platform proven to deliver the experience people are demanding. This enables our
service-oriented business model by delivering the engagement our clients demand and yields a stable form of revenue
through an Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) model.
Longer term, as the market for digital health solutions faces economic pressures, we believe our consumer origins
arm has several natural advantages that will help propel our growth and cement our leadership position. First, we amassed
a trove of billions of data points from our consumer engagement and dozens of clinical publications including multiyear
studies with approximately 50,000 participants.
Second, we built what we believe is the best-in-market clinical platform built with a focus on the overlapping
chronic health needs present in our user base. This shift from a single condition platform to a multi-condition platform
enables our best-of-suite approach.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that we are proving the value of our solutions as enterprise business sales continue to grow. With
more than 100 signed contracts to date, we have solid evidence on the key differentiators that lead to new business
opportunities: a consumer-friendly approach that drives engagement; deep integration capabilities; and best-in-class
clinical outcomes.
Consumer Friendly Approach
Most digital health solutions are built to address the needs of a business and then sold directly to the business,
bypassing the difficult step of achieving consumer buy-in with respect to the product. Our experience as a direct-to-
consumer company now leverages those insights to drive B2B2C commercial growth by working with health plans,
employers, and provider groups and providing them with a solution that their end users are more likely to utilize. Our
current and potential customers recognize that consumer engagement insights are critical to success, and they are
prioritizing solutions with more of a consumer-focused experience. We believe that impaired user engagement in
competitor solutions could also drive enterprise customers to switch to us.
Deep Integration Capabilities
Our platform was designed with a flexible, open-framework that yields multi-faceted benefits for our members
and partners including their clinical health and user experience. Our experience is a best of suite platform that leverages
four points of integration to drive a connected, dynamic and adaptive user journey:
● User data is being captured and integrated across the experience, driving a personalized member
experience across applications.
● User interface, including mobile applications, have been integrated to support a unified member
experience.
● Clinical integration informs recommendations across conditions.
● This is all supported by a fully integrated coaching experience which provides one coach who supports
the member across their entire journey.
The native integration of data across our solutions, providing a single view of a member data across all conditions
and interactions, fuels our consumer-centric approach to engagement and leads to a more seamless user experience.
Our ability to allow integrations at the platform-level, easily allowing for the ingestion and exportation of data,
also positions us as uniquely able to support the more connected healthcare experience that members and our partners
increasingly demand. The recent integration of Dexcom CGM data into our platform is one example of the utility of our
open-platform, positioning us as an attractive choice for clients and partners interested in building towards the future state
of digital health.

Table of Contents
Clinical Outcomes
We believe that we lead the digital therapeutic market in published outcomes with 38 studies across our suite of
solutions, including the first clinical research demonstrating the positive impact of managing multiple chronic conditions
with one digital health solution. Our ability to use large, real-world, longitudinal data-sets gives us a natural advantage in
the scope and type of studies that can be conducted compared to competitors.
This capability enables one of the unique elements of our partnership with Sanofi, allowing our data to be
consumed by a third party for independent analysis and eventual publication.
Our Product Offering
Our user-centric software platform integrates digital therapeutics, coaching, professional human support and
medical devices to drive superior clinical and financial outcomes. Our best-of-suite suite of offerings is modular, allowing
for enterprise clients to purchase one or more of our chronic condition management solutions, while enjoying the same
best-in-class experience supported by our behavior change journey engine so our partners can be confident in achieving
sustainable outcomes and value. Our suite of digital offerings includes:
Dario Metabolic (“Dario Evolve”)
Our metabolic solutions are designed to address some of the most commonly co-occurring metabolic health needs
- diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, and weight management - through a combination of software, our smartphone-
connected tools, interaction with live coaches, and real-time data analysis to help inform and educate users of the
relationship between their behaviors and their health outcomes to drive changes that last.
Dario Musculoskeletal (“Dario Move”)
Our unique approach addresses the most common MSK conditions, including chronic pain, by dealing with the
cause and empowers users to create behavioral change. Dario Move’s digital physical therapy programs and posture
training help people improve strength and mobility by using a combination of software, wearable biofeedback sensors, and
coaching to drive sustainable improvements in musculoskeletal health. The inclusion of posture training in the solution
supports ongoing engagement in support of prevention and maintenance outside of an exercise therapy program.
Dario Behavioral Health (“Dario Elevate”)
Our behavioral health solution optimizes access to evidence-based care by using an AI-driven screener to triage
users and connect them to the most appropriate support across a wide range of mental health needs, including our
integrated digital tools and coaching, giving users a seamless path to proven mental health support.
Dario Full Suite (“Dario One”)
Our full suite of chronic condition management solutions offers the maximum benefit for our partners with a
completely seamless and holistic approach to managing chronic conditions. In addition to a better unified member
experience, our partners deploying Dario One enjoy several benefits from purchasing the entire suite of solutions: better
overall health as evidenced by recent research published by us; the convenience and ease of a single vendor to manage; less
strain on internal resources spread across several chronic condition management programs; and a more affordable program
launches due to lower costs of implementation.
Dario’s Solution Main Components
Users vary significantly in their interests and preferences, and unique user preferences also vary over time with
respect to the optimal timing, tone, content, channel, frequency, and interventions required to produce sustained behavior
change. Users’ interactions with devices, smartphones, coaches, providers, and third-party solutions must be personalized
10
Table of Contents
along these axes to ensure optimal engagement, retention, and outcomes. Furthermore, to engage and sustain user interest
and participation, and drive outcomes, platforms must be dynamically responsive. Due to a lack of responsiveness to these
types of variances, most digital health platforms that achieve high initial engagement often fail to retain users over time.
Key to our ability to accommodate user behavioral changes is our mature AI-driven user journey engine. While
several in-market solutions now integrate health signals across a range of categories to apply limited, nominal
personalization, primarily in the form of nudges, our solution is informed by years of user experience data from over
142,000 users that joined our chronic-condition platform, enabling us to continually personalize and adapt user journeys
themselves (and not just messages) over time. Our journey engine drives our multichannel targeted outreach and
enrollment campaigns, informs specific recommendations around a range of categories such as diet, physical activity, self-
care, coaching interventions, and provider engagement, and evolves in real time in response to the data exhaust from a
user’s interaction with the care ecosystem.
Our journey engine combines complex behavioral science insights with data from hundreds of thousands of users
over several years to recommend AI-driven initial and updated care journeys in response to a user’s engagement with the
platform. Most digital health solutions consist primarily of tracking, content, and nudges. These are often perceived by
users as non-rewarding work, and often do not feel relevant to their concerns, particularly as they evolve over time. We
believe that current in-market solutions trivialize within person changes over time and do not appropriately respond to the
dynamically evolving interests of users. This results in reduced engagement and impaired outcomes. Our journey engine
adapts user journeys to drive engagement, retention, and clinical outcomes by optimizing timing, tone, channel, content,
frequency and intervention to deliver dynamically personalized user journeys that are more likely to result in the behavior
changes needed to drive improved outcomes across a range of conditions. As we partner with solutions in additional
conditions or categories, we engage new populations and generate fresh insights, enhancing the engagement and efficacy of
these partnered solutions to deliver additional value to our users. The engine is designed for integration and scale; as we
add populations and conditions for which behaviors are primary drivers of outcomes, our engine becomes more adept at
customizing a user’s evolving preferences and needs.
Software Applications
Our chronic condition management solutions are designed as three separate software applications to provide the
best possible user experience across metabolic, MSK and behavioral health needs. Each application is integrated with
Dario’s single digital therapeutics platform and behavior change journey engine to ensure the same hyper-personalized
experience across each person’s unique health needs and preferences to keep them on track with healthy changes over time.
Dario Evolve
Dario Evolve helps users change their behaviors and help better manage their diabetes, blood pressure and weight.
Using real-time data and analysis, the app helps users track their progress and offers real-time feedback and customized
content to support each individual’s needs and goals. Integration with the Dario journey engine ensure that each user
receives holistic support and a highly personalized experience that keeps them on track for long-lasting results.
Dario Move
Dario Move helps users improve strength and mobility to help address chronic pain and improve overall
musculoskeletal health. After completing an online assessment, each user receives a personalized, evidence-based exercise
program that can be adjusted throughout their journey based on sensor data or self-reported feedback to a coach or in the
app. Dario Move guides members through their tailored program with educational content to support long-term outcomes.
Dario Elevate
Dario’s Elevate helps people get the help they need to address common mental health needs. Starting with a
responsive, AI-driven screener, elevate triages users to understand the need and recommend the most appropriate support

Our Commercial Channels
We are focusing the go-forward business strategy around three key market opportunities: direct sales to employers
and payers and partnerships with the ability to multiply our growth opportunities. We believe that our scalable business
model selling digital therapeutics as a service through multi-year contracting relationships establishes a pipeline of ARR
and has the potential to improve our gross margins over time.
Our software solutions are sold across a range of channels to create multiple growth engines and support rapid
adoption across all segments of the market. Our integrated product suite is designed to address a common and growing
sentiment from enterprise customers expressing frustration with the large number of condition-specific solutions, lack of
transparency, lackluster results and poor member experiences. Our integrated solution aligns with these key buyer pain
points and is proven to deliver value to strategic partners through our differentiated approach in the market. Finally, our
consumer-centric legacy remains a key component of our commercial strategy, bolstering our ongoing solution
development by serving as an innovation laboratory for new services and product enhancements.
Health Plans: Although health plans represent the longest and most complex purchasing cycle across our client
base, these contracts often represent sizeable opportunities as they typically offer much larger potential member
populations. We currently have three live contracts with health plans, two are regional payers and one is a large national
plan, with several additional plans in negotiation and contracting at present day.
Employers: Our most robust growth in 2022 came from the employer market, a key buyer to help demonstrate our
ability to deliver results. Today, we have approximately 120 employer populations actively on our platform, and growth of
our employer pipeline continues to grow and mature.
Partnerships: Strategic partnerships play a key role in helping to expand our reach across markets quickly and
efficiently. Our consumer-centric platform, the rate at which we have evolved our product, added and integrated solutions
and provided product improvements and ability to easily share data and support a multitude of integrations makes Dario an
attractive choice of partner for many in the market. One such significant partnership agreement is our collaboration with
Sanofi, a global leader in health care, a relationship that resulted after an extensive search determined we are uniquely
capable of providing the robust data and analytics required by Sanofi. The multi-year, $30 million-dollar agreement, is
12
Table of Contents
helping to accelerate commercial adoption of our full suite of digital therapeutics through the promotion of our solutions in
Sanofi’s sales channels and the collaborative development of new products. We also entered into partner agreements with
several large employer benefits platforms such as Virgin Health Pulse in 2021, helping expand our reach within the
employer market.
In addition to our partnership with Sanofi, Dario is actively pursuing distribution partnerships in both the payer
and employer verticals. In 2022, we partnered with Solera to establish a payer channel through their large network of plans.
We also entered into partnership agreements with several large platforms such as Virgin Health Pulse, Alliant Insurance
Services, and Vitality Group, helping expand our reach within the employer market. Dario is actively pursuing new
partnerships in both markets to enhance our opportunities with a one-to-many approach.
Consumers: Our ability to engage members and improve health begins with our consumer-centric approach, and
this audience remains key to our commercialization at the enterprise client level. Our direct-to-consumer channel continues
to attract members to our platform and provides a neutral audience to test innovative product ideas, something traditional
B2B companies are unable to do given limitations on commercial membership. These insights inform both our AI-driven
behavior change journey engine, helping continuously improve engagement and retention, and inform product design to
ensure our solutions remain at the forefront of consumer expectations.
Sanofi U.S. Agreement
On February 28, 2022, we entered into an exclusive preferred partner, co-promotion, development and license

Clinical Studies
Main Highlights
Our studies below demonstrate the clinical value of our legacy digital therapeutic devices and the ability of our
solutions to deliver sustainable outcomes over time.
Dario reported an Average Reduction in Estimated HbA1C of 1.4% for High-Risk type 2 Diabetes Users.
We presented at the 77th ADA session a study that was titled “Reducing A1C Levels in Individuals with High-
Risk Diabetes Using the Mobile Glucose Meter Technology.” In the study we reported an average reduction in estimated
HbA1C of 1.4% for high-risk type 2 Diabetes users.
At the ADA 2018 session, Dario presented three real-world-data analysis studies, as detailed below.
Type 2 Diabetes Users of Dario Digital Diabetes Management System Experience a Shift from Greater than 180
mg/dL to Normal Glucose Levels with Sustainable Results
●
●
Reduction of 19.3% in high glucose readings within 12 months
Increase of 11.3% in in-range readings within 12 months
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
all active Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) users that took measurements with DarioTM Blood Glucose Monitoring System (“BGMS”)
on average of 20 measurements per month during 2017. The study assessed the ratio of all high blood glucose readings
(180-400 mg/dL) and the ratio of all normal blood glucose readings (80-120 mg/dL) in their first month of use to their last
month of use during 2017 as recorded in the database.
Results: For 17,156 T2D users activated during 2017 the average ratio of high events (180-400 mg/dL) was
reduced by 19.3% (from 28.4% to 22.9% of the entire measurements). While at the same time, the ratio of normal range
readings (80-120 mg/dL) was increased by 11.3% (from 25.6% to 28.5% of the entire measurements).
Updated Analysis combining 2017 and 2018 data totals 38,838 Type 2 Diabetes active users and 3,318,014
measurements show 14.3% decrease in high readings (180-400 mg/dL) and 9.2 % increase in In-range (80-120 mg/dL)
readings.
A decrease in High Readings and Severe Hyperglycemic Events for People with T2D over the Full Year of 2017 in
Users Monitoring with Dario Digital Diabetes Management System
●
●
Reduction of 20% of High events (180-400 mg/dL) in T2D sustained within 12 months
Reduction of 58% of Hyper events (>400mg/dL) in T2D within 12 months
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
active Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) users that continuously measured their blood glucose using DarioTM BGMS during the full
year of 2017 was evaluated. The study assessed the ratio of high (180-400 mg/dL) and hyperglycemic (>400mg/dL) blood
glucose readings during full year of 2017 as recorded in the database. The average of high and hyperglycemic glucose
readings were calculated in periods of 30-60, 60-90, 90-120, 120-150, 150-180, 180-210, 210-240, 240-270, 270-300, 300-
330, 330-360 days and compared to first 30 days as a starting point of analysis.
Results: For 225 T2D active users the ratio of high events (180-400 mg/dL) was reduced gradually in 19.6%
(from 23.4% to 18.8% of the entire measurements) from baseline compared to the 12th month of the year. Moreover, the
15

ratio of severe hyperglycemia events (>400 mg/dL) was decreased in 57.8% (from 0.90% to 0.38% of the entire
measurements) at the same period.
Continuous Reduction of Blood Glucose Average during One Year of Glucose Monitoring Using Dario Digital
Monitoring System in a High-Risk Population
●
●
The study presented a reduction of 14% Blood Glucose average was observed in T2D within 12 months
76% of the population showed 24% improvement in Blood glucose average within 12 months
Methods: An exploratory data analysis study reviewed a population of high-risk active type 2 Diabetic users with
initial 30 days glucose average above 180 mg/dL during a full calendar year. The study assessed the average blood glucose
readings along a year of usage. The average glucose readings was calculated per user in periods of 30 days intervals from
30-60 to 330-360 days and compared to the first 30 days as the starting point baseline of analysis.
Results: Overall of 238 highly engaged T2D users (more than one daily measurement in average) whose average
blood glucose level was above 180mg/dL in the first 30 days of measurements (225±45 mg/dL) showed continuous
reduction in glucose level average vs. baseline. Reduction in blood glucose average level was demonstrated gradually, in
the succeeding 3, 6 and 12 months showing average decrease of 7%, 11% and 14% vs. baseline, respectively. Furthermore,
76% of the entire population (180 out of 238 users) improved their average blood glucose level over a year. Those 180
users (average blood glucose 228±46) showed an average decrease of 10%, 16% and 24% in their glucose average
following 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively.
At the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) 2018 Dario presented a study titled “Decrease in
Estimated A1C for people in High-risk over a full year of users monitoring with a digital Diabetes management
system.”
A reduction of 1.4% in estimated HbA1C in Type 2 Diabetes high risk users from baseline after one year of the
Dario system use.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
high-risk (with baseline A1C > 7.5 percent), active users that continuously measured their blood glucose using DarioTM
BGMS during a full year was evaluated. The study assessed estimated A1C values based on blood glucose readings during
a full year as recorded in the database. The estimated A1C values were calculated in periods of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months and
compared to first 30 days as a starting point of analysis.
Results: A group of 363 high-risk Dario BGMS users (A1C>7.5) with greater than two blood glucose
measurements taken per day in the first 30 days and in the 12th month of the year was selected. Estimated A1C was
improved by -0.7, -0.8 and -1 percent from baseline to 3, 6 and 9 months respectively, and remained -1 percent lower
following 12 months of usage (8.65±0.96 vs.7.65±1.0). Moreover, subgroup analyses by diabetes type revealed substantial
estimated A1C improvement among people with T2D showing improvement of -1 percent from baseline to 3, 6 months and
1.4 percent following 12 months (8.5 ± 0.91% vs. 7.14% ± 0.98%).
An additional study evaluated the potential improvement in glycemic variability in Type 2 diabetes over six
months in patients monitoring with Dario Digital Diabetes Management System. Dario presented the study results at the
Advance Technologies and Treatment for Diabetes (ATTD) conference in February 2019 in Berlin. We presented two
additional studies outcomes at ADA 2019 conference.

●
●
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM database. A population of T2D
high-risk patients (blood glucose measurements average (GMavg) >180 mg/dL) measuring more than 20 times in the first
30 days (analysis baseline) was evaluated on days 60-90 (3 months) and 150-180 days (6 months). Standard deviation (SD)
and GMavg were calculated and compared to the baseline.
Results: A group of 698 T2D high-risk DarioTM users was selected. GV was reduced by 10% and 14% from
baseline through 3 and 6 months, respectively (SD of 55.7, 58.4 vs.65.0). GMavg was reduced by 8% and 12% from
baseline through 3 and 6 months, respectively (201.1±25.57, 192.8±54.3 vs. 219.5±38.5) while patient’s hypoglycemic
event (<70mg/dL) was in average, less than one (<1) during this period. Subgroup analyses (355 patients) revealed
substantial GV improvement among non-Insulin T2D patients. The GV was reduced by 14% and 18% from baseline
through 3 and 6 months, respectively (SD of 52.8, 50.7 vs.61.7).
T2D Users of Dario Digital Diabetes Management System Experience an Increase of in-range Glucose Levels
Linked to App Engagement
Relative Increase of 10 % In-range linked to App engagement
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
active Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) users (>15 measurements per month on average) was evaluated. The study assessed the ratio
of in-range blood glucose readings (70-140 mg/dL) as a function of App engagement level for 6 months as recorded in the
database compared to first 30 days as a starting point of analysis.
Results: A population of 4917 T2D non-insulin users measuring more than 15 times per month on average during
6 months in a row was evaluated. The ratio of in-range (70-140 mg/dL) readings was increased following 3 months in
correlation to the level of tagging meal reference/carbs/physical activity occurrences (4.0%, 9.1% and 11.9% for tagging
0-1, 1-2 and >2 times per day on average, respectively) and sustained for 6 months.
Reduction of Blood Glucose Average Less than 140mg/dL in People with Type2 Diabetes Using Dario Digital
Diabetes Management System
30-40% of T2D Dario users experienced Reduction of Blood Glucose Average below 140 mg/dL
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
active T2D users that continuously measured for 6 months was evaluated. The study assessed their BG avg and estimated
A1C (eA1C) values based on blood glucose readings as recorded in the database. Values were calculated in periods of 3
and 6 months and compared to their first 30 days as a starting point analysis.
Results: A group of 1248 Dario BGMS T2D active users (1.98 measurements per day on average during 6 months
in a row) with BG avg >140mg/dL (eA1C>6.5) was evaluated. All 1248 (100%) reduced their BG avg along 6 months on
average.
A group of 31% (387) achieved BG avg of <140 mg/dL (eA1C<6.5) following 3 months showing 19% reduction
on average from baseline (132.38±13.36 vs.162.79±25.41 mg/dL and eA1C 6.24±0.46 vs 7.3±0.88) and sustained their
glycemic control during a 6 month period (131.57±13.86 mg/dL and eA1C 6.21±0.48).
17
Table of Contents
Subgroup analyses of 568 non-insulin users revealed that 40% (226) achieved a BG avg <140 mg/dL following 3
months (131.95±13.21 vs.161.67±24.18 mg/dL and eA1C 6.22±0.46 vs 7.26±0.84) and sustained for 6 months period
(131.03±13.70 mg/dL and eA1C 6.19±0.47). Along the 6 months period, hypo events (<50mg/dL) per user per month on
average remained stable.
In August 2019 another study was presented at the AADE 2019 in Atlanta. The study evaluated the “Impact of
Digital Intervention on In-range Glucose Levels in Users with Diabetes.” The study results showed 6% improvement in
average blood glucose levels over 3 months intervention program for a group of 162 users. A 39% increase in the in-range
(80-130 mg/dL; <180mg/dL post-meal) measurements was observed in a subgroup of 101 patients who started with
average blood glucose levels of over 140mg/dL. In November 2019, another analysis was presented in Diabetes
Technology conference ”The Effect of Digital Intervention on Glycemic Control in Users with Diabetes” looking on total
in-range measurements ratio 70-180 mg/dL showing increase of 19% following 3 months on the Dario Engage platform.
In In February 2020, we presented an additional clinical study at the ATTD conference in Madrid, Spain. The
presented data shows the Dario digital therapeutics platform successfully assists insulin dependent patients with diabetes in
reducing hypoglycemic events.
Decrease in Hypoglycemia Events Over Two Years in Patients Monitoring with Dario’s Digital Diabetes
Management System
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed on the Dario real-world database. Insulin dependent of
users with type 1 or type 2 diabetes population was evaluated for two years of continuous system use. Average numbers of
level 1 hypoglycemia (<70mg/dL) and level 2 hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL) events were calculated monthly and compared to
baseline (first month).
Results: For 1481 type 1 and type 2 insulin dependent users, average of level 1 hypoglycemia events and level 2
were reduced by 24% and by 17% after 6 months and by 50% and 57% after 2 years vs. baseline respectively. Users with
type 1 diabetes (N=363) reduced level 1 hypoglycemia events by 50% and Level 2 by 55% after 2 years. Moreover, a 40%
reduction in high blood glucose readings was observed as well after 2 years.
In June 2020, we presented two clinical studies at the ADA Virtual conference. The presented data from these
studies showed:
Estimated A1C Reduction in High-Risk Patients Over Two Years of Using a Digital Diabetes Management Platform
This study presented data indicated the potential for a digital diabetes management solution to effect and sustain
glycemic control improvements and demonstrated long term reduction of blood glucose average (eA1c) and glycemic
variability in type 2 diabetes over two years. The system assists users through a variety of mechanisms including behavior
modification in diabetes self-management and in long-term routines for self-care.
Methods: A retrospective study of high-risk users (BG avg >180 mg/dL equivalent to e A1c 8.0) 2 with type 2
diabetes that measured their blood glucose using the Dario® platform database over two consecutive years was performed.
The minimum engagement level for inclusion was at least two blood glucose measurements per day on average taken in
Month 1 and Month 24. Actual blood glucose readings were taken by the Dario meter and loaded into the cloud database.
These were evaluated for the blood glucose average (BGavg), estimated A1c (eA1c) values and glycemic variability (by
Standard Deviation; SD) following 24 months compared to the first month (baseline).

Table of Contents
Results: 368 high-risk, T2D active and engaged users for at least consecutive 2 years were identified and assessed
for their risk-level and insulin usage. A group of 148 T2D, non-Insulin users that started with a blood glucose average (BG
avg) >180 mg/dl (equivalent to eA1c>8.0) consistently reduced their BG avg by 18% on average and sustained these
values (179±45 vs. 219±56 mg/dL) following 2 years on the Dario platform. Glycemic variability was reduced over two
years by 20% on average (SD:45 vs. 56). Substantial reductions were observed for higher risk groups (insulin and non-
insulin treated). The subset that started with average BG levels > 212 mg/dL (eA1c >9.0) and average BG levels >240
mg/dL (eA1c>10) reduced their average BG by 22.5% and 25.7% respectively on average over two years. The equivalent
reductions in eA1c were 1.95% and 2.42%.
Users with type 2 diabetes using a digital platform experienced sustained improvement in blood glucose levels.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation (Q1:2018-2019) was performed on the Dario® data base. A population
of active users (18 measurements per month with the Dario® System on average) with T2D, non-Insulin treated was
evaluated over a full year. High blood glucose readings (180-400 mg/dL, >250 mg/dL), fasting readings (<126 mg/dL) and
post-meal readings (<180mg/dL) ratios were assessed in their first month of use until the 12th month.
Results: For 9,200 users with T2D, non-Insulin users, the average ratio of high glycemia events (180-400 mg/dL)
from entire set of measurements was reduced by 26% (18.62% vs. 23.43%) while readings of >250mg/dL were reduced by
33% (4.65% vs. 6.93%) over a year. Fasting measurements analysis revealed an increase of 16% in ratios of readings <126
mg/dL per entire set of fasting measurements (40.59% vs. 34.92%) on average.
In August 2020, we presented an additional clinical study at the Virtual Association of Diabetes Care & Education
Specialists (ADCES) conference. The presented observational study data demonstrated better glycemic and blood pressure
control. Patients using an integrated chronic disease management digital platform have the potential to improve user
activation which may assist to better manage their blood glucose and blood pressure levels and sustain behavioral change.
Impact of Digital Management on Clinical Outcome in Patients with Chronic Conditions: diabetes and
hypertension.
The study presented Hypertension and Diabetes clinical outcomes.
Hypertension: Increase in normal level % measurements from 6% to 12% while hypertension stage 2
measurements decreased from 53% to 45%. 70% of the users (243 out of 345) improved their blood pressure levels by 8.4
mmHg Systolic and 6.2 mmHg Diastolic, on average.
Glucose levels: A reduction of 33% in high readings (>250 mg/dL) and 67% in severe events (>400 mg/dL) was
observed over six months.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM cloud database. A population of
active users that measured both blood pressure and blood glucose for at least 3 months was observed. Blood pressure and
blood glucose levels were evaluated. First month measuring on Dario platform was used as study baseline. Clinical
outcomes examined were blood pressure values, percentage of blood pressure categories, average blood glucose (BGavg)
and high blood glucose readings (>250 mg/dL, >400 mg/dL) ratios.
Results: A group of 345 active users started at baseline with Hypertension stage 1, 2 or hypertensive crisis levels
and measured following 3 months was evaluated.

A subset of 114 users with diabetes in higher risk started with BG average >160 mg/dL improved their average
blood glucose by 14% (207±47 vs.177±50 mg/dL) following six months compared to baseline.
In November 2020, we presented additional clinical study data at the Virtual Diabetes Technology Society (DTS)
meeting.
The Effect of a Digital Therapeutic Platform on Glycemic Control in Adults above Age 65 with Type 2
Diabetes.
This study showed reduction of 13% blood glucose average in age group ≥65 (N=298) at six months sustained for 12
months, and reduction of 38.1% in high readings ratio (>250 mg/dL) in the ≥65 age group at six months and by 41.5% at
12 months.
In Feb 2021 we published in the first time in a peer-reviewed journal “Journal of Medical Internet research (JMIR)
Diabetes”, the article:
“Role of Digital Engagement in Diabetes Care Beyond Measurement: Retrospective Cohort Study”
This study sheds
the association between user engagement with a diabetes
tracking app and the clinical condition, highlighting the importance of within-person changes versus between-person
differences. Our findings underscore the need for and provide a basis for a personalized approach to digital health.

Methods: This retrospective real-world analysis followed 998 people with type 2 diabetes who regularly tracked their blood
glucose levels with the Dario digital therapeutics platform for chronic diseases. Subjects included “nontaggers” (users who
rarely or never used app features to notice and track mealtime, food, exercise, mood, and location, n=585) and “taggers”
(users who used these features, n=413) representing increased digital engagement. Within- and between-person variabilities
in tagging behavior were disaggregated to reveal the association between tagging behavior and blood glucose levels. The
associations between an individual’s tagging behavior in a given month and the monthly average blood glucose level in the
following month were analyzed for quasicausal effects. A generalized mixed piecewise statistical framework was applied
throughout.
Results: Analysis revealed significant improvement in the monthly average blood glucose level during the first 6 months
(t=−10.01, P<.001), which was maintained during the following 6 months (t=−1.54, P=.12). Moreover, taggers
demonstrated a significantly steeper improvement in the initial period relative to nontaggers (t=2.15, P=.03). Additional
findings included a within-user quasicausal nonlinear link between tagging behavior and glucose control
improvement with a 1-month lag. More specifically, increased tagging behavior in any given month resulted in a 43%
improvement in glucose levels in the next month up to a person-specific average in tagging intensity (t=−11.02, P<.001).
Above that within-person mean level of digital engagement, glucose levels remained stable but did not show additional
improvement with increased tagging (t=0.82, P=.41). When assessed alongside within-person effects, between-person
changes in tagging behavior were not associated with changes in monthly average glucose levels (t=1.30, P=.20).

In February 2021, we also presented two studies virtually in ATTD.
Impact of a Digital Intervention Engine on Diabetes Self-management
A digital diabetes platform has the potential to consistently interact with users, improve self-management and
sustain among users who had not recently measured their blood glucose.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on a population of 246 Dario active members who had not measured blood
glucose for a 7-day period. 127 of these users were randomly assigned to a Test group and experienced a digital
intervention flow, and the remaining 119 users were assigned to a Control group.
Results: Digital engagement levels were observed following 60 days in both groups. Differences between Test group and
Control group were observed. In the Test group, the percent of users who measured blood glucose was significantly higher
(P<0.001): 14% in first 30 days and 22% in 30-60 days; average number of measurements was 6% higher in the first 30
days and 17% in 30-60 days; number of interactions (e.g. logging fasting glucose) with the digital platform was 10%
higher in first 30 days and 15% in 30-60 days. Difference in average days between measurements, defined as “recency”
was 30% lower in the test group.
Impact of a Digital Therapeutic on Insulin Self-Management
The potential benefit of a digital diabetes management platform in the self-management required from insulin
treated users, incorporating its use on a daily base, and sustaining behavioral change.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on a population of 285 active Dario users (85% with type 2) under insulin
therapy, that measured with Dario for at least three months and logged basal insulin usage. The group included 112 users
whose starting average blood glucose >180 mg/dL. Among this group the average age was 50±20.8. The group also
included 173 users whose starting average blood glucose was <180 mg/dL with average age 54±19.9. First month
measuring on platform was used as study baseline.
Results: In the sub-group of 112 users the average amount of basal insulin increased by six units after three months (45
vs.39). Their fasting blood glucose was significantly reduced (9%) after three months (186±57 vs. 204±62) without change
in hypoglycemia events ratio (<70 mg/dL) on average, and 15% of the users reduced their fasting average to <126 mg/dL.
However, in the sub-group of 173 users, basal insulin usage and fasting glucose levels remained stable following three
months.
In May 2021, a prospective pilot study was published in a peer reviewed journal “Journal of Diabetes Science and
Technology”:
“Digital Therapeutics for Type 2 Diabetes: Incorporating Coaching Support and Validating Digital Monitoring ”
The study suggests that a diabetes digital platform with real-time feedback and access to coaching improved diabetes
outcome measures such as HbA1c with a reduction in GV. Importantly, we provide clinical validation for digital self-
monitoring to deliver personalized care for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (“T2DM”). Future research should
replicate our findings using a larger sample.
Methods: In this study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04057248), 12 participants with baseline HbA1c >8.5% were provided
with Dario digital therapeutic platform (connected blood glucose meter, test strips, mobile app and access to live CDCES).
At both study enrollment and completion, participants completed blood testing and a satisfaction report. During 3-month
intervention, participants tracked their blood glucose levels through the app and were routinely contacted by CDCES.
Clinical outcomes and self reported data before and after intervention were compared.
Results:

Table of Contents
● Significant reduction in lab values such as HbA1C (2 points), Fasting Blood Glucose (18%) and Body
Mass Index (BMI) (10%)
● Statistically significant improvement in glucose variability (21%)
● Significant improvement in self-reported evaluation in weight and glucose control satisfaction
● Weekly engagement with CDCES predicted reduction of participants’ GV during the following week
In June 2021, two studies were presented in 81th ADA:
Impact of Digital Intervention Tools on Engagement and Glycemic Outcomes
Product updates to digital platforms that guide on healthy eating and help users understand their glucose readings in
context may assist users in improving the management of their diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on Dario TM members during the time before and after
product modification. Digital engagement and clinical outcomes were measured on first to six months per each period to
examine if habit formation was achieved.
Results: A group of total 9794 users who had enrolled in a membership for 6 months or longer was evaluated. The digital
engagement was improved. The ratio of measurements logged with context (fasting, pre-meal, post-meal, bedtime) was
increased significantly by 56% in the first month following product modification on average (51.3%. vs. 32.8%) (P<0.001).
Differences in the level of digital engagement remained stable over a 6 month period. The average number of days between
measurements, i.e. “recency” decreased by 21% on average (2.71 vs. 3.45). Average ratios of high readings (180-400
mg/dL) were reduced by 12% on average over six months.
Users with high-risk type 2 diabetes using a digital therapeutic platform experience a change in blood glucose
levels
Digital diabetes platform has the potential to enhance self-care behaviors across socioeconomic statuses and
among different language speakers.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the DarioTM data base. A population (“high-risk users”)
of all users with type 2 diabetes activated during 2017-2020 who took measurements with Dario in the first 2 months and
who started with an average blood glucose above 180 mg/dL was evaluated. The ratios assessed were target range (70-180
mg/dL) and high blood glucose (>180 mg/dL) readings over a year. Socioeconomic status was matched by applying zip
code data to census.gov data.
Results: For 11,101 users, the average ratio of target range readings (70-180 mg/dL) was significantly increased from
28.4% to 54.8% (P<0.001). Average high events ratio (>180 mg/dL) was significantly reduced from 71.3% to 44.4% over a
full year usage (P<0.001). The change appeared in the earliest months and was maintained over a year. Average number of
days between measurements, i.e., “recency” was 3.3 days. A subset of Spanish language app users (N=169) was also
evaluated, and comparable trends were observed. Matching Census.gov data on study population showed that 20% of users
resided in low income zip codes, 70% in middle and 10% in upper income zip codes.
In August 2021, we presented additional clinical study data at the ADCES meeting.
Efficacy of a tailored digital intervention tool targeting patients with clustered recurrent high glucose readings
22
Table of Contents
The potential benefit of implementing a real-time digital diabetes intervention journey to recognize episodes of
high blood glucose measurement clusters and assist patients in improving self-management and clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on a population of 3,609 users who experienced a cluster
event of frequent high blood glucose levels above 250 mg/dL (>=4 times in 4 different days along 7 days) and measured
with Dario at least one month before and after the event during 2021. A group of 1,084 users was assigned to a Test group
who experienced a digital intervention flow with personalized messages via various channels. The remaining 2,525 users
were assigned to a Control group. The clinical outcome examined was the monthly average of high blood glucose readings
ratio calculated as the number of blood glucose measurements >250 mg/dL per total number of measurements in a month.
This was measured during the event month and in the following month. T-test was used to compare the changes in high
readings ratio in the Test group and Control group in the following month versus event month.
Results: A significant difference of 19% vs. control group (N=3,609), 18% for the group with type 2 (N=2307) and 42%
for the group with type 2 non-insulin, in the reduction in average monthly ratio of high readings (above 250 mg/dL) per
total blood glucose measurements in the following month. The results indicate personalized communications are effectively
influencing positive lifestyle behavior change
A group of 454 users experienced the cluster event in a 6-month period before the digital journey was activated and after. A
significant difference was observed after the digital journey versus before the digital journey in the following month’s
change in high readings ratio (-8% vs. +5%; P-value <0.03)
In February 2022, another manuscript was published in “Journal of Medical Internet research (JMIR)”
“Blood Pressure Monitoring as a Digital Health Tool for Improving Diabetes Clinical Outcomes: Retrospective
Real-world Study”
The results of this study shed light on the association between BG and BP levels and on the role of BP self-
monitoring in diabetes management. Our findings also underscore the need and provide a basis for a comprehensive
approach to understanding the mechanism of BP regulation associated with BG.
Methods: In this retrospective, real-world case-control study, we extracted the data of 269 people with type 2 diabetes
(T2D) who tracked their BG levels using the Dario digital platform for a chronic condition. We analyzed the digital data of
the users who, in addition to BG, monitored their BP using the same app (BP-monitoring [BPM] group, n=137) 6 months
before and after starting their BP monitoring. Propensity score matching established a control group, no blood pressure
monitoring (NBPM, n=132), matched on demographic and baseline clinical measures to the BPM group. A piecewise
mixed model was used for analyzing the time trajectories of BG, BP, and their lagged association
Results: Analysis revealed a significant difference in BG time trajectories associated with BP monitoring in BPM and
NBPM groups (t=–2.12, P=.03). The BPM group demonstrated BG reduction improvement in the monthly average BG
levels during the first 6 months (t=–3.57, P<.001), while BG did not change for the NBPM group (t=0.39, P=.70). Both
groups showed similarly stable BG time trajectories (B=0.98, t=1.16, P=.25) before starting the use of the BP-monitoring
system. In addition, the BPM group showed a significant reduction in systolic (t=–6.42, P<.001) and diastolic (t=–
4.80, P<.001) BP during the first 6 months of BP monitoring. Finally, BG levels were positively associated with systolic
(B=0.24, t=2.77, P=.001) and diastolic (B=0.30, t=2.41, P=.02) BP.
In February 2022, we presented virtually in ATTD:
Impact of a digital therapeutic platform on weight loss and diabetes self-management
This observational study demonstrates the potential for digital platforms to durably improve diabetes and weight self-
management among users with BMI of ≥30 kg/m2.
23
Table of Contents
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 715 Dario active members who started with a baseline BMI of ≥30
kg/m2 (51% male; 48% female; 80% with type 2 diabetes) and who recorded weight measurements for at least 12 months.
Weight measurements and blood glucose readings were observed over 12 months.
Results: The total population of 715 users who participated in the study improved their weight level on average (p<0.05).
Nearly two-thirds of the population improved their weight, with an average reduction of 7.4% (p<0.05) and an average
reduction in BMI of 2.8 kg/m2. Over 30 percent achieved weight loss of 5% or greater over 12 months. A subset of 237
engaged users who started with BMI of ≥35 kg/m2 achieved weight loss of 5% over 12 months (p<0.05). The subgroup of
108 users that started at high-risk blood glucose levels (average blood glucose >180 mg/dL) reduced their weight by 4.9%,
average blood glucose by 16.1% and high readings ratio by 38% over 12 months (p<0.05).
In June 2022, three retrospective data analysis studies were presented in 82th ADA:
Persons with high-risk diabetes, depression and stress using a Digital health platform experience improvement
in glycemic management
The use of a multi-condition digital therapeutic platform may be associated with improved glucose management
for persons with “high risk” glycemia who cope with depression and stress. The present study revealed that a digital multi-
condition platform has the potential to enhance self-care behaviors among people with diabetes that suffer from stress and
depression.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis on the DarioTM database of users who activated the mobile app during 2019-2021
and who self-reported stress and depression in the app questionnaire. Participants who took at least 5 measurements during
their 1st and 12th months with Dario and who started with an average blood glucose >180 mg/dL were termed “high-risk”.
A statistical analysis (T-test) was used to evaluate the differences in average blood glucose and high blood glucose (>180
mg/dL) readings ratio over a year.
Results: The high-risk group of 491 users significantly reduced their average blood glucose by 13% (204±60 vs. 234±55)
(P<0.001). A subset of high-risk users with type 2 (N=379) was also evaluated and significantly reduced their average
blood glucose by 14% (P<0.001) (201±66 vs. 233±53). Moreover, high glucose events ratio (>180 mg/dL) was
significantly reduced from 72.6% to 55.8% over a full year of usage (P<0.001) (N=343).
Hypertension control among persons with diabetes using a self-management multicondition digital platform
A multi-condition digital therapeutic platform may promote behavioral modifications and result in sustainable
improvements in both glycemic control and blood pressure levels. The study demonstrates an improvement in multiple
chronic conditions (diabetes and hypertension) for people using one digital platform.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation was performed on the Dario database. A population of active users who started
with hypertension stage 1 (Systolic ≥130 mmHg or Diastolic ≥ 80mmHg) as their baseline since 2019 was identified.
Blood glucose and blood pressure readings were assessed at first and sixth month of use. A subgroup of users who started
at hypertension stage 2 was evaluated as well. A statistical analysis (T-test) was used to evaluate differences in Systolic
and Diastolic pressures and average blood glucose.
Results:
For the 2554 users with diabetes and hypertension stage 1 and above, more than two thirds improved their systolic
blood pressure by 13 mmHg (P<0.001; 144±14 to 131±13) and diastolic blood pressure by 8 mmHg (P<0.001; 91±12 to
83±10) over six months.
Additionally, a group of 38.7% (N=990) moved to a lower hypertensive stage (P<0.001) according to American Heart
Association definitions.
24
Table of Contents
The subset of 1367 users with stage 2 hypertension improved their systolic blood pressure from 150±12.4 to
141±15.2 mmHg on average and 43.9% (N=600) improved their blood pressure by more than 10 mmHg over six months
(P<0.001).
The subgroup of 306 users who started at high-risk blood glucose levels significantly reduced their blood glucose
average by 15% over 6 months (232.4±46 to 198±65 mg/dL) (P<0.001).
Blood Glucose Levels in High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes Users of a Digital Therapeutic Platform by
Race/Ethnicity
Digital therapeutic platforms may promote behavior modification in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes to
create sustainable outcomes and allow the users to become more active participants in their chronic condition. The study
revealed that the digital diabetes platform has the potential to enhance self-care behaviors across diverse populations.
Methods: A retrospective data study was performed on the Dario database. A group of Dario digital therapeutic users with
type 2 diabetes that was active during 2019-2021 and took at least three blood glucose measurements in the first and 12th
months was evaluated. The group started with average blood glucose above 180 mg/dL in the first month and reported
Ethnicity in the app: White, Latino, Black, or Asian. The baseline was defined as the first month’s average blood glucose.
A statistical analysis (Wilcoxon and Kruskal – Wallis tests) was used to evaluate the difference between groups in their
average blood glucose levels over a year.
Results:
A group of 1,000 users was analyzed, male 483 (48%) and female 517 (52%). Average blood glucose was
significantly reduced in all users and per ethnic group over a year: All users by 14% (230±58 vs. 197±47) (p<0.001); White
by 14% (229±58 vs. 197±47) ) (p<0.001); Latino by 15% (237±59 vs. 202±48) (p<0.001); Black by 15% (230±63 vs.
196±48) (p<0.001) and Asian by 15% (229±55 vs.195±43) (p<0.005).
No difference between the groups was found at 12th month(P=0.751).
In August 2022, we presented a retrospective data analysis study in the ADCES.
Digital therapeutic platforms improve blood glucose management across rural/nonrural groups.
The study supports the hypothesis that digital diabetes platforms have the potential to enhance self-care
behaviors across challenging population from varied socioeconomic statuses in high-risk patients with T2DM.
Methods: A retrospective data study was performed on the Dario database. A group of T2DM “high-risk” users started
with an average blood glucose of 180 mg/dL and above in the first month (baseline), was evaluated. The group of
Dario users were active at 2019-2021 and took at least six blood glucose measurements in the first, 6th and 12th
months. Members residency was defined as rural or nonrural based on whether their community was eligible to apply
for Rural Health Grants by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (“FORHP”) (10). Nonparametric tests were used
to evaluate the differences in average blood glucose levels over a year.
Results:
● A group of 1333 users was analyzed with demographic characteristics as follows: Nonrural 1157 (87%) and Rural
176 (13%).
25
Table of Contents
● The blood glucose average mg/dl was significantly reduced (Friedman tests) in all users and in each
rural/nonrural group over a year: Nonrural reduced by 17% from T0 to T12 (228±59 vs. 190±47) (P<0.001); Rural
reduced by 13% from T0 to T12 (224±60 vs. 196±51) (P<0.001).
● No significant difference between Rural/Nonrural groups was found at first, 6th and 12th months periods (Kruskal-
Wallis, P=0.235/0.163/0.142 respectively).
In August 2022, we published in the first-time two retrospective data analysis on behavioral health outcomes,
Depression and Anxiety in the American Psychology Association (APA).
Effectiveness of a Digital Behavioral Health Solution for Depression Symptoms
This study provides preliminary insights into the effectiveness of a digital chronic condition platform to
facilitate symptom reduction in individuals screened for depression.
● Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the Dario database. The Patient Health
Questionnaire-9 (“PHQ-9”) was utilized to screen for depression severity and track progress over time. The current
sample is based on individuals who used the Dario Behavioral Health platform between 2019-2021, and completed at
least two PHQ-9 assessments, one at baseline and the second between baseline and 12 weeks of platform utilization.
Scores were calculated based on PHQ-9 scoring guidelines. Users were stratified based on severity as minimal-mild
(score 0-9), mild-moderate and severe-moderate (10-19), or Severe (>=20).
Results:
● A group of 496 platform users (376 women, 108 men, 12 other) who completed two assessments of PHQ-9 was
evaluated. The population included 269 users who started at minimal-mild severity and 227 who started at moderate or
severe severity (175 moderate; 52 severe).The minimal-mild group mostly maintained at the same level of average
PHQ-9 score post assessment. The moderate-severe group significantly improved their average PHQ-9 score
(P<0.001).
● A proportion of 72% of moderate-severe users showed improvement in their post PHQ-9 assessment and 38% of
moderate-severe users reported scores in the minimal-mild range over the study period. Moreover, 44% of the
moderate-severe population experienced a clinically significant score reduction (reduction of >5) in the full PHQ-9
over the study period. Out of 175 users who started at a moderate depression level, and 162 (93%) improved or
maintained their level and out of 52 users who started at a severe depression level, 30 (58%) users reduced their level
to moderate or minimal-mild.
Effectiveness of a Digital Behavioral Health Solution for Anxiety Symptoms
This study provides preliminary insights into the effectiveness of a digital chronic condition platform to facilitate symptom
reduction in individuals screened for anxiety.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on the Dario database. The Generalized Anxiety
Disorder Assessment (GAD-7) was utilized to screen for anxiety severity and track progress over time. The current
sample is based on individuals who used the Dario Behavioral Health platform between 2019-2021, and completed at
least two GAD-7 assessments, one at baseline and the second between baseline and 12 weeks of platform utilization.
Scores were calculated based on GAD-7 scoring guidelines. Users were stratified based on severity as minimal-mild
(score 0-9), moderate (10-14), or Severe (>=15).
Results:
26
Table of Contents
● The group of 523 platform users who completed two assessments of GAD-7 was evaluated; 297 users had baseline
scores in the minimal-mild range and 226 were moderate or severe. The severe group significantly improved their
average GAD-7 score (P<0.001; paired t-test). A proportion of 68% from the severe users improved their score, and
42% of the severe users reported scores in minimal-mild range over the study period (P<0.001). Moreover, 40% of the
severe population experienced a clinically significant score reduction (reduction of >5) in GAD-7 over the study
period.
● The minimal-mild group mostly maintained their levels and hence did not escalate to higher severity while using the
care platform. Additionally, out of 100 users who started at a moderate anxiety level, 84 (84%) improved or
maintained their level (P<0.001), and out of 126 users started at a severe anxiety level, 69 (55%) reduced their level to
moderate or minimal-mild (P<0.001).
In September 2022, a retrospective data analysis study was published in “International Association for the Study
of Pain” (IASP) large conference.
Pain level reduction mediated by perceived posture quality and training duration in patients using digital
therapeutic biofeedback technology
The study sheds light on the nature of the linkage between posture biofeedback technology and pain
reduction. Based on the findings of our mediation model constructed on a lagged association between training
duration, perceived posture quality, and pain levels, we suggest that posture quality is a potential mechanism for
posture training-related analgesia.
Methods: A retrospective real-world study examined 981 users who used the Dario posture trainer. Training duration,
defined as the time the device is worn (hours), was recorded. This study utilized the Dario posture trainer, Upright in Dario
Health, a wearable postural biofeedback device.
Results: Posture biofeedback training duration was significantly associated with pain levels (B=-0.0002, p<0.001). Also,
the training duration predicted the following week’s posture quality (B=0.0004, p<0.001) and in turn posture quality
predicted the following week’s pain. Finaly, posture quality mediated the effect of weekly training duration on the pain
levels in two weeks.
In December 2022, the first manuscript was published in a peer-reviewed journal “Frontiers in Physiology”
on retrospective data analysis on UpRight posture biofeedback platform.
The two-stage therapeutic effect of posture biofeedback training on back pain and the associated mechanism:
A retrospective cohort study
The study findings provided a better understanding of the therapeutic dynamic during digital biofeedback
intervention targeting pain, modeling the associated two-stage process. Moreover, the study sheds light on the
biofeedback mechanism and may assist in developing a better therapeutic approach targeting perceived posture quality.
Methods: This retrospective real-world evidence study followed 981 users who used the UpRight posture biofeedback
platform. Piecewise mixed models were used for modeling the two-stage trajectory of pain levels, perceived posture
quality, and weekly training duration following an 8-week biofeedback training. Also, the mediation effect of perceived
posture quality on the analgesic effect of training duration was tested using Monte Carlo simulations based on lagged effect
mixed models.
27
Table of Contents
Results: The analysis revealed significant pain level reduction of 50% (p <.0001) and posture quality improvement
(p <.0001) during the first 4 weeks of the training, maintaining similar pain levels and perceived posture quality during the
next 4 weeks. In addition, weekly training duration demonstrated an increase during the first 3 weeks (p <.001) and
decreased during the next 5 weeks (p <.001). Moreover, training duration predicted following-week perceived posture
quality (p <.001) and in turn perceived posture quality predicted following-week pain (p <.001) (p = 0.30). Finally,
perceived posture quality mediated the effect of weekly training duration on the pain levels in 2 weeks (p <.0001).
In January 2023, a manuscript was published in a peer-reviewed journal “MDPI-Applied sciences” on
retrospective data analysis glycemic management across Racial/Ethic groups:
Glycemic Management by a Digital Therapeutic Platform across Racial/Ethnic Groups: A Retrospective
Cohort Study
Our findings demonstrate improvement in blood glucose levels in high-risk racial/ethnic minority populations with T2DM,
showing that in this group of users who are motivated to use a digital device there appears to be no difference in the
outcomes between racial/ethnic groups.
Methods: The retrospective real-world analysis followed a group of 1,000 people with Type 2 diabetes who used the Dario
digital therapeutic platform over 12 months. Participants included in the study had a blood glucose average > 180 mg/dL
(hyperglycemia, high-risk) in their first month. The differences between/within the groups’ average blood glucose level
(Avg.bg) and glycemic variability were evaluated. Furthermore, three general linear models were constructed to predict the
Avg.bg by the number of blood glucose measurements (Bgm) in Model 1 (with the moderator White persons
("WP")/people from racial and ethnic minority groups ("REM")) and by the frequency of measurements by months (F.m)
within REM and WP in Model 2 and Model 3, respectively.
Results: The Avg.bg was significantly reduced in each group over a year with no differences between REM/WP users.
Blood glucose measurements in Model 1 and frequency of measurements by months in Model 2 and Model 3 predicted the
Avg.bg. Findings indicate a positive association between digital engagement and glycemia, with no differences between
REM and WP participants.
In February 2023, a manuscript was published in a peer-reviewed journal “PAIN reports” on an analytical
framework of retrospective data for personalized pain management using piecewise mixed-effects model trees:
Personalizing digital pain management with adapted machine learning approach
This analytical framework offers an opportunity for investigating the personalized efficacy of digital therapeutics for pain
management, taking into account users' characteristics and boosting interpretability and can benefit from including more
users' characteristics.
Methods: We demonstrated the implementation of the model with posture biofeedback training data of 3610 users
collected during 8 weeks. The users reported their pain levels and posture quality. We developed personalized models for
nonlinear time-related fluctuations of pain levels, posture quality, and weekly training duration using age, gender, and body
mass index as potential moderating factors.
Results: Pain levels and posture quality demonstrated strong improvement during the first 3 weeks of the training, followed
by a sustained pattern. The age of the users moderated the time fluctuations in pain levels, whereas age and gender
interactively moderated the trajectories in the posture quality. Train duration increased during the first 3 weeks only for
older users, whereas all the users decreased the training duration during the next 5 weeks.
In February 2023, we presented two additional clinical studies at the ATTD conference in Berlin, Germany:

Decrease in Hypoglycemia Events over Year in Older adults with Diabetes Monitoring with Digital Diabetes
Management System
Older adults using a digital diabetes management platform have the potential to promote behavioral change and prevent
hypoglycemia, demonstrating better glycemic outcome.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed on the Dario database. A cohort of users aged 67 or older with Type
1 or Type 2 diabetes and using Dario over a year was evaluated. Average numbers of Hypoglycemia Level 1 (<70mg/dL)
and Level 2 (<54 mg/dL) events as defined by the ADA were observed monthly and compared to baseline (first month).
Results: In the cohort of 2844 users, hypoglycemia level 1 events were reduced by 31% and 35% from baseline (0.54, 0.51
vs. 0.78) on average within 6 months and sustained over a year (p<0.05). Hypoglycemia level 2 events were reduced by
53% (0.08, 0.08 vs. 0.17) on average within 6 months and sustained over a year (<0.05). The ratio of hypoglycemia
readings per total measurements significantly reduced as well. Subgroup analyses (1353 patients) of Dario users aged 67 or
older with Type 1 or Type 2 using Insulin revealed a substantial reduction of severe hypoglycemia Level 2 of 42% (0.11 vs.
0.19) (p<0.05) and significant reduction in hypoglycemia events ratio as well over a year.
Self-management and Glycemic Outcomes for People with Type 2 Diabetes
Impact of Digital Coaching on Diabetes
Self-monitoring blood glucose and digital engagement have a mediating role in the effect of digital coaching on blood
glucose levels. Coaching interactions have the potential to lead to behavioral change, which can positively impact the
trajectory of a low-engaged user. By constantly learning from the user's data, the digital therapeutic platform can
continually improve and adapt to the user's individual needs, leading to better outcomes. The study demonstrated that our
platform is digital first where the human coaching intervention is provided to the right user at the right time and with the
right intervention.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed on a sample size of 712 users with type 2 diabetes with baseline
average >180 mg/dL measured blood glucose over 12 months on the platform. 534 did not use a coaching service and 178
users interacted with a coach over a year.
Results: Monthly Average blood glucose level significantly reduced in both groups w and w/o coach interaction over a
year (18% vs. 11%). Blood glucose measurements and digital engagement activities mediated the effect of coaching on
average blood glucose levels. For individuals who are less inclined to measure their blood glucose, coaching can help
establish regular monitoring habits and to understand the importance of monitoring their levels.
In June 2023, we presented three clinical studies at the 83th ADA conference:
Blood Glucose Reduction and Long-term Sustainability in High-risk Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Over Three
Years Using a Digital Platform
The study showed that digital diabetes monitoring has the potential to enhance users’ awareness and affect and sustain
glycemic control improvements over 3 years. Moreover, it is highly expected that engagement to app features in a chronic
condition management may help users with type 2 diabetes consistently taking care of their lifestyle behaviors to maintain
better clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed on users with T2D in high-risk (baseline BG avg>169 mg/dL in
month1; equivalent to A1C 7.5) who activated between 2017-2020 and measured their BG using Dario platform over three
consecutive years (at months 1,6,12,24 and 36). The outcomes assessed were average blood glucose (BG avg) and high BG
readings ratio (>180 mg/dL). Digital engagement was assessed by additional parameters including measurement type
(fasting/premeal/post meal/bedtime), carbohydrate intake, meal type and physical activity alongside glucose measurement.

Results: A group of 1,239 users significantly reduced their BG avg consistently over three years by 15.6% (179±55 vs.
212±42) (p<0.05) and high readings ratio by 39% (p<0.05). A subset of users who completed at least one engagement type
following months 12, 24, and 36 (N=433) demonstrated significantly greater reductions versus the complementary group
(N=806): BG avg by 18.8% (172±51 vs. 212±45) and high readings ratio by 45% (p<0.05).

Digital Platform Users Managing Three Chronic Conditions Diabetes, Hypertension and Overweight
Experience Better Outcomes than those Who Manage One Condition Following Six Months
Monitoring several conditions on an integrated platform may have the potential to offer a greater means for a person with
diabetes to effectively manage glycemia, engage with the treatment and improve outcomes. This study can illuminate the
relative contribution of multi chronic conditions management driving behavioral change to successful diabetes outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed on users who were active during 2019-2022 and measured blood
glucose (BG) using Dario platform for at least six months. The test group included users who measured blood pressure
(BP) and weight within 6 months from their first BG measurement; a matched control group of users who measured BG
only in the first six months was generated. BG levels were assessed by average BG (BG avg) and BGMS engagement was
assessed by counting BG measurements per month. High-risk users were defined as those with baseline BG avg>180mg/dL
in Month 1.
Results: A total number of 17,108 users were included in the study: a test group of 2154 users measured BG, BP and
Weight in the first six months on the platform and a control group of 14,954 users measured BG only in the first six months
on the platform. The test group (N=2,154) demonstrated significantly greater (1.7-fold) engagement evaluated by higher
number of BG measurements, than the control group (N=14,954) in Month 1 and Month 6 (p<0.01). A subgroup of the test
group, 343 users at high-risk who measured 3 conditions BG, BP and weight was evaluated. A matched control group of
1,579 high-risk users was generated. The high-risk test group (N=343) demonstrated significantly greater reduction in BG
avg versus the control subgroup (N=1579) measured BG only, after 6 months (17% vs.11%) (p<0.01). Moreover, the ratio
of population that reduced their BG avg to lower than 180 mg/dL after 6 months (equivalent to A1C 8.0; HEDIS measure)
was significantly higher in the test subgroup versus control subgroup in high-risk (by 30%; p<0.01).
Impact of a Digital Health Educational Feature on Engagement and Glycemic Outcomes
The present study demonstrates that by providing improved knowledge, increased motivation, and personalized learning
digital health educational features can help users feel more empowered to manage their diabetes effectively.
Methods: A retrospective data evaluation study was performed on Dario TM members with type 2 (T2D) and prediabetes
who experienced the educational feature. Engagement (blood glucose measurements and logging carbs to Dario mobile
app) and glycemic outcomes were assessed three months pre-post experiencing the feature. Glycemic outcomes were
assessed by average blood glucose (mg/dL) and glycemic variability (SD).
Results: A group of 994 people with type 2 and prediabetes who were active in the mobile app and measured their blood
glucose three months before using the new feature and in the following three months after, was evaluated. The average
number of blood glucose measurements increased by 34% (p<0.05) following the introduction of the new learning feature.
A subgroup of 303 users with type 2 and prediabetes that reported depression in the app as a co-existing condition
increased carbs logging event by 39%. In a subgroup of 234 high-risk users (baseline >180 mg/dL) the average blood
glucose and glucose variability were significantly reduced by 13% and 11% on average, respectively (p<0.05).
In August 2023, we presented an additional clinical study on the benefits of engagement with a digital therapeutic for better
clinical outcomes at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) conference.
Users managing Diabetes with Large-scale Digital Therapeutics Platform Experience a Change in Blood
Glucose and Engagement Over Two Years.
The present study demonstrates the benefits of engagement with a digital therapeutic platform for diabetes management in
high-risk patients, demonstrating an improvement in glycemic outcomes and sustainment for a significant period.

Table of Contents
Methods: A retrospective real-world data study was performed on the Dario database. The current sample is based on
active users since 2019 with at least two months measurements for two years. Engagement was assessed by blood glucose
(BG) and weight measurements. Clinical outcomes assessed were average BG and high readings (>180mg/dL) ratios.
Linear mixed effects models investigated changes in engagement and clinical outcomes.
Results: A population of 119,482 platform users was included, Age: 53 ± 15; Gender: 51% women. High-risk subgroup
included 31,562 users with first month (baseline) average BG>180 mg/dL. Total users’ engagement increased significantly
by 29% (14.3 to 18.5) over two years (p<0.001). High readings ratio (>180mg/dL) in high-risk subgroup decreased
significantly by 38% (38.8% vs. 63.1%) over two years (p<0.001). The monthly average BG of the high-risk subgroup was
reduced significantly by 16% (218.1mg/dL to 183.4mg/dL) over two years (p<0.001). A negative interaction effect was
found with monthly engagements and the monthly average BG, as users with increased engagements (+1 SD) demonstrated
stronger reductions in monthly average BG.
In September 2023, a manuscript was published in a peer-reviewed journal “Journal of Medical Internet research (JMIR)
Diabetes” on the contribution of specific digital engagement tools to mental health conditions – Depression and Anxiety.
Specifying the Efficacy of Digital Therapeutic Tools for Depression and Anxiety: Retrospective, 2-Cohort,
Real-World Analysis
This study demonstrated general improvement followed by a period of stability of depression and anxiety
symptoms associated with cognitive behavioral therapy–based digital intervention. Interestingly, engagement with a
coaching session but not a breathing exercise was associated with a reduction in depression symptoms. Moreover,
breathing exercise but not engagement with a coaching session was associated with a reduction of anxiety symptoms.
These findings emphasize the importance of using a personalized approach to behavioral health during digital health
interventions.
Methods: Depression and general anxiety symptoms were evaluated in real-world data cohorts using the digital health
platform for digital intervention and monitoring change. This retrospective real-world analysis of users on a mobile
platform–based treatment followed two cohorts of people: (1) users who started with moderate levels of depression and
completed at least 2 depression assessments (n=519) and (2) users who started with moderate levels of anxiety and
completed at least 2 anxiety assessments (n=474). Levels of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and anxiety
(Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) were tracked throughout the first 16 weeks. A piecewise mixed-effects model was
applied to model the trajectories of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 mean
scores in 2 segments (1-6 weeks and 7-16 weeks). Finally, simple slope analysis was used for the interpretation of the
interactions probing the moderators: coaching sessions and breathing exercises in both depression and anxiety cohorts.
Results: Analysis revealed a significant decrease in depression symptoms (β=–.37, 95% CI –0.46 to 0.28; P≤.001) during
the period of weeks 1-6 of app use, which was maintained during the period of 7-16 weeks. Coach interaction significantly
moderated the reduction in depression symptoms during the period of weeks 1-6 (β=–.03, 95% CI –0.05 to –0.001; P=.02).
A significant decrease in anxiety symptoms (β=–.41, 95% CI –0.50 to –0.33; P≤.001) was revealed during the period of 1-6
weeks, which was maintained during the period of 7-16 weeks. Breathing exercises significantly moderated the reduction
in anxiety symptoms during the period of 1-6 weeks (β=–.07, 95% CI –0.14 to –0.01; P=.04).
In November 2023, we presented additional clinical study data at the virtual Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) meeting
that investigated the association between monthly aggregated blood glucose measurements and walking activity (number of
steps).
Non-linear Association between Blood Glucose Levels and Walking in an Integrated Digital Health Platform for
Diabetes Management
32
Table of Contents
This study sheds light on the importance of walking in diabetes management. Our findings highlight the potential of digital
health platforms in promoting physical activity using a diabetes tracking app to improve clinical outcomes. By integrating
the information that counts steps people with diabetes can access a single platform that helps them feel supported in their
daily diabetes care and lifestyle management.
Methods:
In this retrospective real-world study, a cohort of 989 platform users with Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, who regularly
tracked their blood glucose levels for 12 months using the Dario digital platform was evaluated. The association between
blood glucose levels and the number of steps was examined over time. A piecewise linear mixed effects model was applied
to test the trajectories over time of monthly average blood glucose and monthly average number of steps a day in two time
periods defined by previous research3 as well as to test non-linear association between them.
Results: The sample included 437 (44%) women, 546 (55%) men and 6 (0.6%) others. The average age was 62.5 (SD
±12.7) and the average BMI was 32.5 (SD ±6.9). The baseline average BG was 142.5 mg/dL (SD ±37.7). 808 (82%) users
have type 2 diabetes and 181 (18%) have pre-diabetes. Analysis revealed that during the first 4 months there is a positive
trend of monthly average steps (B=.02, P<.001) while there is a negative trend of blood glucose levels (B= -2.00, P<.001)
in the same time frame. Significant improvement in monthly average blood glucose was observed in users with at least 400
steps a day (B= -2.26, P<.001), while for those with less than 400 steps a day there was no significant change.
Certain clinical studies were published by Sanofi on our data in 2023.
The first poster was published at ISPOR May 2023.
Comparison of All-Cause Healthcare Resource Utilization Rates between Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Who Use a
Digital Diabetes Solution Versus Non-Users: A 12-Month Retrospective Cohort Study
In this retrospective cohort study, utilizing Dario Diabetes Solution (DDS) demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in
all-cause HCRU and inpatient hospitalization rates during 12-month follow-up compared with non-users receiving usual
care.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study (January 2017–April 2021) included adults (≥18 years) with T2DM receiving
anti-diabetic medication(s) with ≥1 inpatient or ≥2 outpatient visits ≥30 days apart during baseline period. Baseline was 12
months before index date (first DDS registration [users] or first medical encounter in the quarter with medical claims [non-
users]); follow-up was 12 months. User and non-user cohorts were matched 1:3 using exact and propensity score matching.
Analysis included patients with access to care 12 months pre- and post-index date. Primary endpoint was all-cause HCRU
(inpatient hospitalizations + ER visits) rates during follow-up. Data were analyzed using a generalized linear model with
negative binomial distribution.
Results: Of 9779 patients, DDS users (n=2445) and non-users (n=7334) were matched; mean±SD age was 58.2±10.6 and
58.3±12.5 years, respectively. At 12 months, mean (95% CI) all-cause HCRU rate (inpatient hospitalization + ER visits)
was 0.475 (0.438–0.516) and 0.524 (0.500–0.549) events/year for users and non-users, respectively. Users had 9.3% lower
HCRU rate compared with non-users (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.907 [0.826–0.996]; P=0.04). Mean all-cause inpatient
hospitalization rate was 0.166 (0.147–0.186) and 0.216 (0.203–0.230) events/year for users and non-users, respectively.
Users had 23.5% lower inpatient hospitalization incident rate versus non-users (IRR, 0.765 [0.671–0.873]; P<0.0001); ER
visit rates were similar in both cohorts (IRR, 1.01 [0.907–1.125]; P=0.86).
Three studies were presented by Sanofi at the 83th ADA conference:
Impact of Digital Diabetes Solution on Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the United States—
A Retrospective Cohort Study
The study showed adults with uncontrolled T2DM using Dario Diabetes Solution (DDS) had better outcomes at 6 months,
with more significant HbA1c reductions than matched nonusers across various BL HbA1c levels, showing incremental
improvements to usual care.
33
Table of Contents
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a baseline (BL)
HbA1c ≥7% who used DDS (users) or received usual care (nonusers) between January 1, 2017, to October 31, 2021. BL
period was 1 year before index date (first DDS registration [users] or first claim date in the quarter [nonusers]); follow-up
period was 6 months. DDS user and nonuser cohorts were matched 1:3 using exact and propensity score matching. Primary
endpoint was change in HbA1c from BL to 6 months, with subgroup analyses of patients (pts) with BL HbA1c >7.5%,
>8%, >9%, and ≥1% drop from BL. Difference-in-difference results are reported using least squares (LS) means from
linear models.
Results: The study included 568 DDS users and 1699 nonusers. For all 2267 pts, mean ± SD age was 57.5±11.3 years and
HbA1c was 9.14±1.83% at BL. At 6 months, LS mean difference between groups was −0.23% (mean HbA1c change vs
BL: users, −1.02% [95% CI, −1.15, −0.89]; nonusers, −0.79% [−0.87, −0.71]; P=0.004). HbA1c drop ≥1% from BL to 6
months was achieved by 47% of users vs 37% nonusers (difference: 10%; P<0.001). Subgroup analysis at all BL HbA1c
showed users achieved more significant HbA1c reductions vs nonusers (P<0.05). For pts with BL HbA1c >9%, the
healthcare effectiveness data and information set performance measure, mean difference between groups was -0.47%
(users, -2.25% [-2.50, -1.99]; nonusers, -1.78% [-1.92, -1.63]; P=0.002).
Use of Digital Diabetes Solution Is Associated with Improved Glycemic Control without Increased Risk of Severe
Hypoglycemia in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the United States—Retrospective Cohort Study
In this retrospective study, a larger proportion of adults with uncontrolled T2DM (BL HbA1c ≥8%) achieved HbA1c <8%
after using DDS vs nonusers, with no increased risk of severe hypoglycemia (SH).
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included adults with T2DM who used DDS (users) and nonusers from
1JAN2017 to 31OCT2021. BL period was 1 year before index date (users, first DDS registration; nonusers, first claim date
in the quarter); follow up was 6 months. DDS users and nonusers were sequentially matched 1:3 using exact and propensity
score matching. Secondary endpoints included SH (event requiring medical intervention) rates for all patients (pts) and for
pts with BL HbA1c ≥8% who achieved predefined target HbA1c <8%. SH incidence in users vs nonusers was examined.
Results: Overall cohort included 568 DDS users and 1699 nonusers: mean age, 57.5±11.3 years; mean BL HbA1c,
9.14±1.83%; oral antidiabetic drugs, 51%; insulin, 6%. BL SH was rare (users, 7/568; nonusers, 12/1699). There were 387
users and 1089 nonusers with BL HbA1c ≥8% (mean BL HbA1c, 10.0±1.7%). In this subgroup, HbA1c <8% was achieved
by 9% more DDS users (174/387 [45%]) vs nonusers (393/1089 [36%]) at 6 months; P=0.002. At 6 months, overall SH
rate was 38.8 (users) vs 10.6 (nonusers) events/1,000 pts per year (incidence rate ratio, 0.9; P=0.9). No observed increase in
SH risk was associated with DDS in this population. SH was rare in pts who achieved HbA1c <8% (users, 1/174; nonusers,
3/393).
Effect of a Digital Diabetes Solution on All-Cause Health Care Resource Utilization Charges for Patients with Type 2
Diabetes—A Retrospective Cohort Study
In this retrospective cohort study, pts with T2DM who utilized DDS incurred significantly lower all-cause HCRU and OV
charges vs nonusers.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study (pt selection window: 1JAN2017 - 31APR2021) included adults (≥18 years) with
T2DM receiving antidiabetic medication(s) with ≥1 inpatient or ≥2 outpatient visits ≥30 days apart during the baseline
(BL) period. BL was 1 year before index date (users, 1st DDS registration; nonusers, 1st claim date in the quarter); follow
up was 1 year. User and nonuser cohorts were matched 1:3 using exact and propensity score matching. Study assessed
HCRU rates and charges. A 2-part gamma distribution model was used to determine 1) likelihood (odds ratio, OR) of users
vs nonusers to incur charges, then 2) total charges per patient per year (PPPY) including all-cause HCRU and office visit
(OV) charges.
34
Table of Contents
Results: Of 9779 pts, 2445 DDS users and 7334 nonusers were matched; mean age, 58.2±10.6 and 58.3±12.5 years,
respectively. At 1 year, users were 9% less likely to incur all-cause HCRU charges vs nonusers (OR, 0.91; P=0.07). All-
cause HCRU charges were 26% lower for users vs nonusers (P<0.0001; $12552 [adjusted] PPPY savings). Users were
more likely to incur all-cause OV charges vs nonusers (P=0.04). However, users had 19% lower all-cause OV charges vs
nonusers (P<0.0001; $1790 [adjusted] PPPY savings). The percentages of pts who incurred T2DM related HCRU charges
were low (users, 3.1%; nonusers, 3.0%).
Three posters were published at AMCP-Nexus, in October 2023:
The impact of a digital health technology on healthcare quality measures and clinical outcomes in adults with type 2
diabetes mellitus
In this retrospective study, in adults with T2DM, a greater proportion of Dario Diabetes Solution (DDS) users with BL A1c
greater than or equal to 8% achieved A1c less than 8% and a smaller proportion with BL A1c greater than 9% remained
greater than 9%, compared with a matched cohort of nonusers, without increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia. DDS
offers improved quality outcomes based on HEDIS A1c criteria.
Methods: Cohorts of 568 DDS users and 1,699 nonusers were compared. Inclusion criteria were as follows: adults with a
diagnosis of T2DM, receiving at least 1 diabetes medication, A1c greater than or equal to 7.0%, and not using a continuous
glucose monitor between January 1, 2017, and October 31, 2021. The primary endpoint was a change in A1c from baseline
(BL) during a 180-day follow-up period, with subgroup analyses of people with BL A1c greater than 7.5%, greater than
8%, and greater than 9%. Exploratory analyses were conducted to evaluate whether DDS use could facilitate a lowering of
BL A1c from greater than or equal to 8% to less than 8% and from greater than 9% to less than 9% in adults with T2DM.
Secondary endpoints included severe hypoglycemia (event requiring medical intervention) rates for all included DDS users
and nonusers and for those with BL A1c greater than or equal to 8% who achieved a predefined target A1c of less than 8%.
Results: Overall, DDS user and nonuser cohorts were well matched , including by payer type (70% commercial and 18%
Medicare for both groups). Among 387 DDS users with BL A1c greater than or equal to 8%, 174 (45%) had A1c less than
8% during follow-up, compared with 393 (36%) of 1,089 nonusers (P=0.0021). In a subgroup analysis of people with BL
A1c greater than 9%, among 237 DDS users, 86 (36%) had follow-up A1c greater than 9%, compared with 347 (49%) of
713 nonusers (P=0.0009). There was no increase in rates of severe hypoglycemia comparing groups (P>0.4).
Association between more frequent engagement with the Dario Diabetes Solution, a digital health technology, and a
reduction in HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Higher DDS engagement was associated with a significantly greater reduction in A1c in adults with T2DM. The highest
engagement was in the first 2 months of follow-up and correlated with the greatest reductions in HbA1c. Engagement
decreased over time during follow-up. Further research is needed to assess additional interventions that may sustain
engagement over time.
Methods: This analysis included DDS users receiving at least 1 diabetes medication, with A1c ≥7.0%, and not using a
continuous glucose monitor between January 1, 2017, and October 31, 2021. Baseline (BL) was 1 year before the index
date (first registration for DDS), with follow-up of 180 days from the index date. Engagement activities were collected via
the DDS app. Engagement activity was measured in active days (ie, number of days when a user performed any
engagement activity). Ten DDS engagement activities were evaluated, including measuring BG, tagging (timing of BG
measurement or meal type), food logging, and sharing logbook. Associations between overall DDS engagement and
change in A1c were analyzed over 180 days using a linear regression method, and associations were evaluated at 60- day
intervals over those 180 days. Individual components of engagement were also analyzed.
35
Table of Contents
Results: 568 DDS users were included. At BL, their mean age was 57.3 years (SD ±11.3) and mean A1c was 9.14±1.78%.
Median engagement activity was 65 active days of 180. Each day with any DDS engagement activity was associated with a
0.01% change in A1c (P<0.0001). Users in the most engaged quartile had 5× greater reduction in A1c than the least
engaged quartile. Individual engagement activities with significant associations with reduced A1c were BG measurement,
tagging (meal type), and inputting insulin dose.
A retrospective cohort study comparing health care resource utilization, length of stay and 30-day readmissions in users
and non-users of a digital diabetes health intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In this real-world analysis, all-cause HCRU, inpatient, and 30-day readmission rates were significantly lower among DDS
users vs nonusers (9%, 23%, and 36%, respectively), and LOS was significantly shorter (1.6 days).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, adults (aged >18 years) receiving therapy for type 2 diabetes who used DDS
from January 1, 2017, to April 30, 2021, were identified; index date was defined as the date of first DDS registration.
Anonymized DDS user data were linked to patient-level claims data within the Symphony Health Integrated Dataverse.
The DDS cohort was matched 1:3 using exact and propensity score matching to a nonuser cohort from the Symphony
Health Integrated Dataverse with medical claims for type 2 diabetes mellitus during the study period. For nonusers, the
index date was the first medical claim date in the matched quarter. All patients were required to have 12 months’ post-
index follow-up and to have at least 2 outpatient claims (>30 days apart) or at least 1 inpatient claim within this period.
This analysis compared all-cause HCRU rates (inpatient + emergency department), LOS, and 30- day readmission rates in
DDS users and nonusers. Negative binomial generalized linear models adjusting for baseline rates were used to generate
incidence rates (per personyear) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and corresponding 95% Cis for all-cause HCRU and 30-
day readmission rates. LOS was compared between groups using a two-sample t-test.
Results: DDS users (n=2,445) and nonusers (n=7,334) were well matched (mean+SD age: 58.2+10.6 vs 58.3+12.5 years;
sex, 53.3% female for both). At follow-up, the all-cause HCRU rate was 0.47 (95% CI= 0.44-0.52) in DDS users and 0.52
(95% CI= 0.50-0.55) in nonusers (IRR=0.91; 95% CI=0.83-1.00; P=0.041). The mean all-cause inpatient event rate was
0.17 (95% CI= 0.15-0.19) in DDS users and 0.22 (95% CI= 0.20-0.23) in nonusers (IRR= 0.77; 95% CI= 0.67-0.87;
P<0.0001); there was no significant difference in emergency department visits. DDS users with an inpatient event (users,
n=327; nonusers, n=1,196) had a shorter LOS (7.2 vs 8.8 days; P=0.017) and lower 30-day readmission rate (IRR= 0.64;
95% CI= 0.45-0.92; P=0.014) vs nonusers.
Additional poster was presented at ISPOR EU, in November 2023.
The Impact of Patient Engagement with a Digital Diabetes Solution on All-Cause Healthcare Resource Utilization
Rates and Charges
Overall engagement with DDS was associated with a reduction in all-cause HCRU and lower likelihood of incurring
HCRU-related charges.
Methods: Patient-level claims data for adult DDS users (>18 years; registered 01-Jan-2017 to 30-Apr-2021) receiving
therapy for T2DM were retrieved from Symphony Health Integrated Dataverse. All patients had >2 outpatient (>30 days
apart) or >1 inpatient visit within 12 months prior to index (date of first DDS registration). This analysis reports all-cause
HCRU (inpatient + emergency room visits) and odds of incurring HCRU-related charges >$0 based on user engagement
with any of 10 DDS activity metrics (‘components’ of activity metrics: measuring BG, measuring blood pressure,
measuring weight, tagging [BG timing and meal type], food logging, inputting insulin dose, recording physical activity,
sharing logbooks, reading articles, coach interaction). Overall engagement was defined as number of days any component
was used within 12 months post-index. All-cause HCRU rates and charges per 100 days of engagement were adjusted for
baseline values with a negative binomial generalized linear model and logistic model, respectively; incidence rate ratios
(IRR) for HCRU and odds ratios (OR) for charges >$0 were derived.

Table of Contents
Results: We identified 2445 DDS users (mean+SD age, 58.2+10.6 years; 53.3% female). Overall engagement (use of any
DDS component) was associated with a 10% reduction in all-cause HCRU (IRR: 0.90; p=0.0048). Overall DDS

Another poster was presented at Diabetes Technology Society at Nov 2023, the abstract will be published in JDST early
2024. The title is: “Impact of a Digital Diabetes Solution on Medication Adherence in Adults in the United States with
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus”.
Government Regulation
The principal markets that we have initially targeted for Dario are the United States, Canada, the European Union,
Australia, and New Zealand. The following is an overview of the regulatory regimes in these jurisdictions.
United States Regulation Generally
In the United States, medical devices are subject to extensive regulatory control at the federal level by the FDA
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and its implementing regulations. Under Section 201(h) of the
FDCA, a medical device is an article, which does not achieve its intended purpose through chemical action or metabolism
in or on the body and, among other things, is intended (i) for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the
cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, in man or other animals or (ii) to affect the structure or any function of
the body of man or other animals. The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System is classified as a medical device and
subject to regulation by numerous agencies and legislative bodies, including the FDA and its foreign counterparts. FDA
regulations govern, among other things, device design and development, nonclinical and clinical testing, manufacturing,
packaging, labeling, storage, pre-market clearance or approval, establishment registration and device listing, advertising
and promotion, sales and distribution, recalls and field actions, servicing and post-market surveillance. A number of U.S.
states also impose licensing and compliance regimes on companies that manufacture or distribute prescription devices into
or within the state.
The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Classification of a device is important because the
class to which a device is assigned determines, among other things, the necessity and type of FDA review required prior to
marketing the device. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States will
require a clearance through the pre-market notification (or 510(k)) process, De Novo classification, or pre-market approval
(“PMA”) from the FDA.
Class I devices are those for which reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness can be maintained through
adherence to general controls, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System
Regulation (“QSR”), as well as regulations requiring facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical
events, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. The Class I
designation also applies to devices for which there is insufficient information to determine that general controls are
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device or to establish special controls to
provide such assurance, but that are not life-supporting or life-sustaining or for a use which is of substantial importance in
preventing impairment of human health, and that do not present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury.
Class II devices those for which general controls alone are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety
and effectiveness and there is sufficient information to establish “special controls.” These special controls can include
performance standards, post-market surveillance requirements, patient registries and FDA guidance documents describing
device-specific special controls. While most Class I devices are exempt from the pre-market notification requirement, most
Class II devices require a pre-market notification prior to commercialization in the United States; however, the FDA has
the authority to exempt Class II devices from the pre-market notification requirement under certain circumstances.
Class III devices are intended to be life sustaining or life supporting, devices that are implantable, devices that
present a potential unreasonable risk of harm or are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of health, and
37

devices that are not substantially equivalent to other lawfully marketed devices and for which safety and effectiveness
cannot be assured solely by the general controls and special controls.
Pre-market Notification (510(k)) Clearance Process. Manufacturers of most Class II devices must submit
premarket notifications to the FDA under Section 510(k) of the FDCA (21 U.S.C. § 360(k)) in order to obtain the
necessary authorization to market or commercially distribute such devices. To obtain 510(k) clearance, manufacturers must
submit to the FDA adequate information demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a
“predicate device” that is already on the market. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to PMA,
meaning, (i) a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976, or pre amendments device, and for which a PMA is
not required, (ii) a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or (iii) a device that was found
substantially equivalent through the 510(k) process. The FDA typically issues a decision within 90 days of receipt of a
510(k) submission but may stop the review clock for up to 180 days to request that the applicant respond to the agency’s
requests for additional information about the proposed device. If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent
to the predicate device identified by the applicant in a premarket notification submission, the agency will grant
510(k) clearance for the new device, permitting the applicant to commercialize the device. Premarket notifications are
subject to user fees, unless a specific exemption applies.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or
effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance or could even
require a premarket application approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination in the first
instance, but the FDA can review any such decision. If the FDA disagrees with the determination, the agency may
retroactively require the manufacturer to seek 510(k) clearance or premarket application approval. The FDA also can
require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or premarket
application approval is obtained.
De Novo Classification. This device regulatory pathway allows a manufacturer whose novel device is
automatically classified into Class III to request that the FDA classify such device as Class I or Class II based on evidence
that the device in fact presents low or moderate risk, instead of following the typical Class III device pathway requiring the
submission and approval of a PMA application. If the manufacturer seeks reclassification into Class II, the classification
request must include a draft proposal for special controls that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety
and effectiveness of the medical device. The FDA typically issues a decision within 150 days of receipt on a De Novo
classification request but, as with 510(k) submissions, may stop the review clock for up to 180 days to request that the
applicant respond to the agency’s requests for additional information. If FDA grants the De Novo request, the device may
be legally marketed in the United States. However, the FDA may reject the classification request if the agency identifies a
suitable legally marketed predicate device that provides a reasonable basis for review of substantial equivalence or
determines that the device is not low to moderate risk or that general controls would be inadequate to control the risks and
adequate special controls cannot be developed. De Novo classification requests are subject to user fees, unless a specific
exemption applies.
Premarket Approval (PMA). The PMA process is more demanding than the 510(k) and De Novo
classification processes. For a PMA, the manufacturer must demonstrate through extensive data, including data from
nonclinical studies and one or more clinical trials, that the device is safe and effective for its proposed indication. The PMA
application must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full description of the methods,
facilities and controls used for manufacturing, and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA submission, the FDA
determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the
application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review and determine whether the proposed device
can be approved for commercialization, although in practice, PMA reviews often take significantly longer, and it can take
up to several years for the FDA to issue a final decision. Before approving a PMA, the FDA generally also performs an on-
site inspection of manufacturing facilities for the product to ensure compliance with the QSR.
The FDA may refer any PMA submission, including applications for novel device candidates or device candidates
that present difficult questions of safety or efficacy, to an advisory committee for review. Typically, an advisory committee
is a panel of independent experts, including clinicians and other scientific experts, that reviews, evaluates and provides a
recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and, if so, under what conditions. The FDA is not bound
38
Table of Contents
by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations when making final decisions on
approval.
If the FDA’s evaluation of the PMA application and inspection of the manufacturing facility is favorable, the FDA
may issue an approval order authorizing commercial marketing of the device, or an “approvable letter,” which usually
contains a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the PMA. When and if those
conditions have been met to the satisfaction of the FDA, the agency will issue a PMA approval order, subject to the
conditions of approval and the limitations established in the approval order. If the FDA’s evaluation of a PMA application
or manufacturing facility is not favorable, the FDA will deny approval of the PMA or issue a “not approvable letter.” The
FDA may also determine that additional studies are necessary, in which case the PMA approval may be delayed for
several months or years while such additional studies are conducted and data is submitted in an amendment to the PMA.
The PMA process can be expensive, uncertain and lengthy, and each PMA submission is subject to a substantial user fee
unless a specific exemption applies. PMA approval may also be granted with post-approval requirements such as the need
for additional patient follow-up or requirements to conduct additional clinical trials.
After approval of a premarket application, a new PMA application or PMA supplement may be required in the
event of a modification to the labeling, manufacturing process, specifications, materials or design of the device. PMA
supplements often require submission of the same type of information as an initial PMA application, except that the
supplements are limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the approved PMA
application and may or may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory committee. The PMA
pathway is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain.
In general, software that is intended for a medical purpose, whether it is included with a hardware device or is
standalone software, is considered a medical device and subject to the same regulatory pathways described above, as long
as it meets the definition of a “device” in Section 201(h) of the FDCA. However, the 21st Century Cures Act, which
became law in December 2016, expressly excluded from the FDCA’s device definition some software functions, such as
software to support healthcare facility administration, general wellness software, electronic health records and certain
clinical decision support software. In September 2019, the FDA published a revised guidance, General Wellness: Policy
for Low Risk Devices, describing its approach to general wellness products, including software, which states that the
agency does not intend to examine the compliance of low risk general wellness products, as long as they are intended to (i)
maintain or encourage general health or healthy activity and do not make any claims relating to specific diseases or
conditions, or (ii) encourage a healthy lifestyle to help reduce the risk or impact of or help the user live well with certain
chronic diseases or conditions where there is an established connection between a healthy lifestyle and the disease or
condition. In addition, the FDA has published the Policy for Device Software Functions and Mobile Medical Applications
guidance, which describes the agency’s approach to regulating software device functions, and in particular, the types of
software that are the focus regulatory enforcement, under enforcement discretion, or not considered medical devices. Our
Smart Diabetes Management Solution software and wireless blood pressure monitor software are considered medical
devices under the FDCA and such software products have received the required marketing authorizations and are listed
with FDA. We believe that our other current software products either are not intended for a medical purpose or meet the
applicable criteria to be considered low risk general wellness products.
The FDA issued a Final Rule on February 2, 2024 describing amendments to harmonize the QSR with the 2016
edition of the International Organization for Standardization publication Medical Devices: Quality management systems—
Requirements for regulatory purposes (ISO 13485:2016), which will become effective on February 2, 2026. The
harmonization process is not expected to have a significant impact on the quality system compliance operations of device
manufacturers because most requirements described in the QSR correspond to requirements set forth in ISO 13485:2016.
However, device manufacturers will likely need to revise certain quality system procedures to ensure compliance with the
harmonized regulations and any failure to make such revisions or adapt to the harmonized regulations, once they become
effective, may result in observations of noncompliance during facility inspections by the FDA or comparable regulatory
authorities.
European and Non-European Regulation Generally
Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely
from country to country. These laws and regulations range from simple product registration requirements in some countries
39
Table of Contents
to complex clearance and production controls in others. As a result, the processes and time periods required to obtain
foreign marketing clearance may be longer or shorter than those necessary to obtain FDA clearance.
For example, the European Union (EU) has adopted specific directives and subsequently regulations regulating
the design, manufacture, clinical investigations, labeling, conformity assessment, post-market surveillance and vigilance
reporting for medical devices. The EU rules described below are generally applicable in the European Economic Area
(EEA). Other countries, such as Switzerland, have entered into Mutual Recognition Agreements and allow the marketing
of medical devices that meet EU requirements.
The EU presently requires that all medical products be certified to meet the EU’s safety and performance
requirements for such products and bear a CE mark, an international symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards
and demonstrated clinical effectiveness. Prior to May 26, 2021, all medical devices placed on the EU market had to meet
the relevant essential requirements laid down in Council Directive 93/42/EEC, or the Medical Device Directive (MDD),
and if applicable, the Council Directive 90/385/EEC, or the Active Implantable Medical Device Directive (AIMD), or for
in vitro diagnostic devices, Council Directive 98/79/EC, or the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD). Active Implantable
Medical Devices (AIMD) are defined as medical devices that rely on a source of electrical energy or any source of power
other than that generated by the body, which are totally or partially introduced, either surgically or medically, into the
human body and intended to remain after the procedure.
On May 26, 2021, the Medical Devices Regulation, EU 2017/745, (MDR) became effective, repealing and
replacing the MDD and the AIMDD. The MDR is directly applicable in all EU member states. The MDR changed several
aspects of the regulatory framework for medical device marketing in Europe in order to increase regulatory oversight of all
medical devices marketed in the EU (which, in turn, increased the costs, time and requirements to place innovative or high-
risk medical devices on the European market). The MDR among other things (i) strengthens the rules on placing devices
on the market and reinforces post-market surveillance; (ii) establishes explicit provisions on a manufacturer’s
responsibilities for the follow-up of the quality, performance and safety; (iii) improves the traceability of medical devices
through a unique identification number; and (iv) sets up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals and
the public with comprehensive information on products available in the EU.
An overarching requirement under the MDR is that any device must be designed and manufactured in such a way
that it will not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and others. In
addition, the device must meet the performance specifications intended by the manufacturer and be designed, manufactured
and packaged in a suitable manner. To that effect, the European Commission has adopted various standards applicable to
medical devices. These include standards governing common requirements, such as sterilization and safety of medical
electrical equipment and product standards for certain types of medical devices. There are also harmonized standards
relating to design and manufacture. While not mandatory, compliance with harmonized standards is a way for
manufacturers to demonstrate that products comply with relevant EU legislation.
To demonstrate compliance with the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs) set forth in the
MDR, medical device manufacturers must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type
of medical device and its classification. Conformity assessment procedures require an assessment of the technical
documentation, including the device description, the design stages, the manufacturing process, available clinical evidence,
literature data for the product, and post-market experience in respect of similar products already marketed. Except for low-
risk medical devices (Class I non-sterile, non-measuring devices), where the manufacturer can self-declare the conformity
of its products with the GSPRs (except for any parts which relate to sterility or metrology), a conformity assessment
procedure requires the intervention of a Notified Body. Notified Bodies are independent organizations designated by EU
member states to assess the conformity of devices before being placed on the market. A Notified Body typically audits and
examines a product’s technical dossiers and the manufacturer’s quality management system (which must, in particular,
comply with ISO 13485). If satisfied that the AIMD or other medical device conforms to the relevant GSPRs, the Notified
Body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity. The
manufacturer may then apply the CE-Mark to the device, allowing the device to be legally marketed throughout the EU.
Notified Body certificates of conformity are valid for a fixed duration (which shall not exceed five years).
Throughout the term of the certificate, the manufacturer will be subject to periodic surveillance audits to verify continued
40
Table of Contents
compliance with the applicable requirements. In particular, there will be a new audit by the Notified Body before it renews
the relevant certificate(s).
Devices lawfully placed on the market pursuant to the MDD and the AIMDD prior to May 26, 2021 could initially
continue to be made available on the market or put into service until May 26, 2025. Nevertheless, the European Parliament
recently adopted legislation to extend this transitional period to give manufacturers more time to switch from the
previously applicable provisions to the new certification requirements for medical devices as laid down by the MDR. For
high risk, class III and class IIb implantable devices the transitional period is extended until December 31, 2027. For
medium and low risk, class IIb devices and class IIa, Im, Is and Ir devices the transition period is extended until
December 31, 2028.
In May 2022, the IVDD was replaced by the In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation, EU 2017/746, (IVDR) and
given a 5-year transition period until its full implementation on May 26, 2022. Unlike the IVDD, the IVDR has binding
legal force throughout every EU member state. The major goal of the IVDR was to standardize diagnostic procedures
within the EU, increase reliability of diagnostic analysis and enhance patient safety. Under the IVDR, IVDs are subject to
additional legal regulatory requirements. Among other things, the IVDR introduces a new risk-based classification system
and requirements for conformity assessments. Under the IVDR and subsequent amendments, IVDs already certified by a
Notified Body under the IVDD may remain on the market until May 26, 2025, and IVDs certified without the involvement
of a Notified Body may be placed on, or remain in, the market for up to three additional years (until May 26, 2028)
depending on the classification of the IVD. The manufacturers of such devices remaining on the market must comply with
specific requirements in the IVDR, but ultimately, such products, as with all new IVDs, will have to undergo the IVDR’s
conformity assessment procedures. In addition, the IVDR imposes additional requirements relating to post-market
surveillance and submission of post-market performance follow-up reports.
In September 2013, we obtained ISO 13485 certification for our quality management system and CE Mark
certification to market Dario, and in May 2015 Dario was cleared to fulfill the criteria according to EN ISO
15197:2013. The granting of the CE Mark allows Dario to be marketed and sold in 32 countries across Europe as well as in
certain other countries worldwide. On November 21, 2014, MDSS, our European Authorized Representative, completed
the registration of the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System with the German Authority as required by Article 10 of
Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. We commenced an initial soft launch of the product in Europe
in 2014, created initial demand for the product and established brand awareness and marketing techniques to reach our
target market with a goal to continue expansion to new markets and territories.
We achieved regulatory clearance to market Dario in other countries that do not rely on the CE Mark. To date, the
non-CE Mark jurisdictions which we have begun to market Dario include the United States, New Zealand, Canada, and
Australia.
To the extent that we seek to market our product in other non-CE Mark countries in the future, we will be required
to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements in each such country. Such regulatory requirements vary by country,
and complying with such regulations may require substantial time and effort. As a result, no assurance can be given that
we will be able to satisfy the regulatory requirements to sell our products in any such country. If we fail to comply with
applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension of clinical trials,
suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions, and criminal
prosecution.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are almost always required to support PMA applications and are sometimes required to support
510(k) and De Novo classification submissions. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness
must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s good clinical practice (GCP), regulations, including the investigational
device exemption (IDE) regulations that govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of investigational
devices, and specify recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of trial sponsors and investigators. If the
device presents a “significant risk,” as defined by the FDA, the agency requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE
application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical studies. A significant risk
device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted,
used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease
41
Table of Contents
or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a patient. An IDE
application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that the device has a
safety profile appropriate for human testing and that the trial protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically
become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA expressly approves or denies the application in writing
or notifies the sponsor that the investigation is on hold and may not begin until the sponsor provides supplemental
information about the investigation that satisfies the agency’s concerns. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies
or other concerns with an IDE that require modification of the trial, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a
conditional approval or the sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin.
In addition, the trial must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an institutional review board, or IRB, for
each clinical site. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient according to criteria established by FDA as
part of the IDE regulations, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs
without separate authorization from the FDA, but must still comply with abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring
the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements.
As part of its clinical trial oversight responsibilities, an IRB must review and approve, among other things, the
trial protocol and informed consent information to be provided to clinical trial subjects. An IRB must operate in
compliance with FDA regulations. Information about certain clinical studies, including details of the protocol and
eventually trial results, also must be submitted within specific timeframes to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for
public dissemination on the ClinicalTrials.gov data registry. Information related to the product, patient population, phase
of investigation, trial sites and investigators and other aspects of the clinical trial is made public as part of the registration
of the clinical trial. Sponsors are also obligated to disclose the results of their clinical studies after completion. Disclosure
of the results of these studies can be delayed in some cases for up to two years after the date of completion of the trial.
Failure to timely register a covered clinical study or to submit study results as provided for in the law can give rise to civil
monetary penalties and also prevent the non-compliant party from receiving future grant funds from the federal
government. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Final Rule and NIH’s corresponding policy on
ClinicalTrials.gov registration and reporting requirements became effective in 2017, and the government has brought
enforcement actions against non-compliant clinical trial sponsors.
Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical studies must be submitted at least annually to the FDA and
more frequently if unanticipated serious adverse events, or SAEs, occur. The FDA or the sponsor may suspend or
terminate a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are being
exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Similarly, an IRB can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical trial at its
institution if the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with the clinical protocol, GCP, or other IRB
requirements or if the investigational product has been associated with unexpected serious harm to patients.
In the Consolidated Appropriations Act for 2023, Congress amended the FDCA to require the sponsor of any
pivotal clinical trial that will be used to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a medical device marketing
authorization submission to develop a diversity action plan for such trial, and if submission of an IDE application is
required, to submit such diversity action plan to the FDA. The action plan must include the sponsor’s diversity goals for
enrollment, as well as a rationale for the goals and a description of how the sponsor will meet them. The FDA may grant a
waiver for some or all of the requirements for a diversity action plan. It is unknown at this time how the diversity action
plan may affect device pivotal clinical trial planning and timing or what specific information FDA will expect in such
plans, but if FDA objects to a sponsor’s diversity action plan and requires the sponsor to amend the plan or take other
actions, it may delay trial initiation.
There is no assurance that a clinical study at any given site will progress as anticipated; the interim results of a
study may not be satisfactory leading the sponsor or others to terminate the study, there may be an insufficient number of
patients who qualify for the study or who agree to participate in the study or the investigator at the site may have priorities
other than the study. Also, there can be no assurance that the clinical study will provide sufficient evidence to assure
regulatory authorities that the product is safe, effective and performs as intended as a prerequisite for granting market
clearance. See “Clinical Trials” above for clinical trials performed to date.

Post-Clearance Matters
Even if the FDA or other non-US regulatory authorities approve or clear a device, they may limit its intended uses
in such a way that manufacturing and distributing the device may not be commercially feasible. After clearance or approval
to market is given, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies, upon the occurrence of certain events, are authorized under
various circumstances to withdraw the clearance or approval or require changes to a device, its manufacturing process or
its labeling or additional proof that regulatory requirements have been met.
A manufacturer of a device approved through the premarket approval application process is not permitted to make
changes to the device which affects its safety or effectiveness without first submitting a supplement application to its
premarket approval application and obtaining FDA clearance for that supplement. In some instances, the FDA may require
a clinical trial to support a supplement application. A manufacturer of a device cleared through a 510(k) submission or a
510(k)+ “de-novo” submission must submit another premarket notification if it intends to make a change or modification in
the device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, such as a significant change or
modification in design, material, chemical composition, energy source or manufacturing process. Any change in the
intended uses of a premarket approval application device or a 510(k) device requires an approval supplement or cleared
premarket notification. Exported devices are subject to the regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is
exported, as well as certain FDA export requirements.
Ongoing Regulation by FDA
Even after a device receives clearance or approval and is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements
apply. These include:
● establishment registration and device listing;
● QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent
design, testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures during all phases of the
product life-cycle;
● labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or
“off-label” uses, and other requirements related to promotional activities;
● medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may
have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or
contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;
● corrections, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA
field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device
or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;
● the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a
product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and
● post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide
additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
The medical device reporting requirements also extend to healthcare facilities that use medical devices in
providing care to patients, or “device user facilities,” which include hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, nursing
homes, outpatient diagnostic facilities, or outpatient treatment facilities, but not physician offices. A device user facility
must report any device-related death to both the FDA and the device manufacturer, or any device-related serious injury to
the manufacturer (or, if the manufacturer is unknown, to the FDA) within 10 days of the event. Device user facilities are
not required to report device malfunctions that would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction
were to recur but may voluntarily report such malfunctions through MedWatch, the FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse
Event Reporting Program.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which
may include any of the following sanctions: warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure
of our current or future products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production, refusing our
request for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new products, rescinding previously granted 510(k) clearances or
withdrawing previously granted PMA approvals.
We may be subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA, and these inspections may include the
manufacturing facilities of our subcontractors. If, as a result of these inspections, the FDA determines that our or our
subcontractor’s equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable FDA regulations and
conditions of product clearance, the FDA may seek civil, criminal or administrative sanctions and/or remedies against us,
including the suspension of our manufacturing and selling operations.
Ongoing Regulation by International Regulators
International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which may vary substantially
from country to country.
In order to maintain the right to affix the CE Mark to sell medical devices in the European Union, periodic
surveillance audits of the company premises and, if needed, at major subcontractors’ premises must to be carried out by a
Notified Body. In addition, all manufacturers placing medical devices into the market in the EU must comply with the EU
medical device vigilance system. Under this system, serious incidents must be reported to the relevant authorities of the EU
member states, and manufacturers are required to take Field Safety Corrective Actions, (FSCAs), to reduce a risk of death
or serious deterioration in the state of health associated with the use of a medical device that is already placed on the
market. A serious incident is defined as any malfunction or deterioration in the characteristics or performance of a device
made available on the market, including use-error due to ergonomic features, as well as any inadequacy in the information
supplied by the manufacturer and any undesirable side-effect that directly or indirectly led, might have led or might lead to
death, temporary or permanent serious deterioration of health state, or a serious public health threat. An FSCA can include
the withdrawal of the device from the market, or a recall thereof. FSCAs must be communicated by the manufacturer or its
legal representative to the users of the device through Field Safety Notices.
The advertising and promotion of medical devices is subject to some general principles set forth by EU directives.
Directive 2006/114/EC concerning misleading and comparative advertising and Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair
commercial practices. While the aforementioned directives are not specific to the advertising of medical devices, the
provisions of national law transposing them must also be complied with and contain general rules, for example requiring
that advertisements are evidenced, balanced and not misleading. Specific requirements are defined at national level. EU
member states laws related to the advertising and promotion of medical devices, which vary between jurisdictions, may
limit or restrict the advertising and promotion of products to the general public and may impose limitations on promotional
activities with healthcare professionals.
Many EU member states have adopted specific anti-gift statutes that further limit commercial practices for
medical devices, in particular vis-à-vis healthcare professionals and organizations. Additionally, there has been a recent
trend of increased regulation of payments and transfers of value provided to healthcare professionals or entities. In
addition, many EU member states have adopted national “Sunshine Acts” which impose reporting and transparency
requirements (often on an annual basis), similar to the requirements in the United States, on medical device manufacturers.
Certain countries also mandate implementation of commercial compliance programs.
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the applicable
regulatory authorities, which may include any of the following sanctions: fines, injunctions, civil or criminal penalties,
recall or seizure of our current or future products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production,
refusing our request for renewing marketing authorization of our products or for granting marketing authorization for new
products.
Federal Trade Commission Regulatory Oversight
44
Table of Contents
Our advertising for our products in the United States is subject to federal truth-in-advertising laws enforced by the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as comparable state consumer protection laws. Under the Federal Trade
Commission Act, or FTC Act, the FTC is empowered, among other things, to (a) prevent unfair methods of competition
and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce; (b) seek monetary redress and other relief for conduct
injurious to consumers; and (c) gather and compile information and conduct investigations relating to the organization,
business, practices, and management of entities engaged in commerce. The FTC has very broad enforcement authority, and
failure to abide by the substantive requirements of the FTC Act and other consumer protection laws can result in
administrative or judicial penalties, including civil penalties, injunctions affecting the manner in which we would be able to
market services or products in the future, or criminal prosecution.
Federal Communications Commission Regulation
The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System includes a wireless radio frequency transmitter and receiver and,
therefore, is subject to equipment authorization requirements in the United States. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) requires advance clearance of all radio frequency devices before they can be imported into, sold or
marketed in the United States. These clearances ensure that the proposed products comply with FCC radio frequency
emission and power level standards and will not cause interference.
State Licensure Requirements
Several U.S. states require that Durable Medical Equipment (“DME”) providers be licensed in order to sell
products to patients in that state. Certain of these states require that DME providers maintain an in-state location. Some
states also require a device manufacturer or distributor to obtain a license in order to distribute prescription medical devices
to customers in such states. If these rules are determined to be applicable to us and if we were found to be noncompliant,
we could lose our licensure in that state, which could prohibit us from selling our current or future products to patients in
that state.
Other U.S. Healthcare Laws and Regulations
We must comply with various U.S. federal and state laws, rules and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and
abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws, rules and regulations. Violations of the fraud and
abuse laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, exclusion from participation in
federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. These laws include the following:
● the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully
soliciting, offering, receiving or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward
either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for
which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal health care program such as Medicare and
Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the AKS or specific intent to violate it to
have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services
resulting from a violation of the AKS constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the FCA or federal
civil money penalties statute;
● the federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, including the federal False
Claims Act (FCA), which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or
causing to be presented, false or fraudulent claims for payment to, or approval by Medicare, Medicaid, or other
federal healthcare programs, knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement
material to a false or fraudulent claim or an obligation to pay or transmit money to the federal government, or
knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay
money to the federal government. Manufacturers can be held liable under the FCA even when they do not submit
claims directly to government payers if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims.
The FCA also permits a private individual acting as a “whistleblower” to bring actions on behalf of the federal
government alleging violations of the FCA and to share in any monetary recovery;
45
Table of Contents
● the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the offering or giving of remuneration,
which includes, without limitation, any transfer of items or services for free or for less than fair market value
(with limited exceptions), to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person knows or should know is likely
to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular supplier of items or services reimbursable by a federal or
state governmental program;
● the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) imposes criminal and civil liability for
executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program or making false statements relating to health care
matters;
● HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act,
and its implementing regulations, also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect
to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;
● The federal transparency requirements under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act require manufacturers of
FDA-approved drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies covered by Medicare or Medicaid to report, on an
annual basis, to the CMS information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians, certain
advanced non-physician healthcare practitioners, and teaching hospitals or to entities or individuals at the request
of, or designated on behalf of, such physicians, non-physician healthcare practitioners, and teaching hospitals as
well as certain ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members; and
● analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to
items or services reimbursed by
involving healthcare
sales or marketing arrangements and claims
nongovernmental third-party payors, including private insurers.
Certain states also have adopted marketing and/or transparency laws relevant to device manufacturers, some of
which are broader in scope in comparison to applicable federal laws. Some state laws require medical device companies to
comply with the relevant industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by
the federal government in addition to requiring device manufacturers to report information related to payments to
physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures. In addition, state and foreign laws also govern the
privacy and security of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways
and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.
Violation of any of the federal and state healthcare laws may result in penalties, including without limitation, civil,
criminal and/or administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government
programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, injunctions, private “qui tam” actions brought by individual whistleblowers in
the name of the government, or refusal to enter into government contracts, contractual damages, reputational harm,
administrative burdens, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of operations. Our
actual or perceived failure to comply with healthcare and data privacy laws could result in liability or reputational harm
and could harm our business. Ensuring compliance with such laws could also impair our efforts to maintain and expand
our customer base and thereby decrease our future revenues.
U.S. and European Data Security and Data Privacy Laws
HIPAA’s administrative simplification provisions established comprehensive U.S. federal standards for the
privacy and security of health information. In 2009, Congress enacted Subtitle D of the HITECH provisions of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which expanded and strengthened HIPAA, created new targets for
enforcement, imposed new penalties for noncompliance and established new breach notification requirements. HIPAA
applies to health plans, healthcare clearing houses, and healthcare providers that conduct certain healthcare transactions
electronically, which are referred to collectively as Covered Entities, as well as individuals or entities that perform services
for Covered Entities involving the use, or disclosure of, individually identifiable health information or protected health
information (PHI) under HIPAA. Such service providers are called "Business Associates." Under HIPAA, as amended by
the HITECH Act, HHS has issued regulations to protect the privacy and security of PHI used or disclosed by Covered
Entities and Business Associates. HIPAA also regulates and standardizes the codes, formats and identifiers used in certain
46
Table of Contents
healthcare transactions and standardization of identifiers for health plans and providers, for example insurance billing. Any
non-compliance with HIPAA and HITECH and related penalties, could adversely impact our business.
The HIPAA security standards require the adoption of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and the
adoption of written security policies and procedures to maintain the security of protected health information.
The HIPAA privacy regulations address the privacy of PHI by limiting the use and release of such information.
They also set forth certain rights that an individual has with respect to his or her PHI maintained by a covered entity,
including the right to access or amend certain records containing PHI, request an accounting of disclosures of PHI or to
request restrictions on the use or disclosure of PHI. The HIPAA breach notification regulations impose certain reporting
requirements on Covered Entities and their Business Associates in the event of a breach of PHI.
Significant civil and criminal fines and other penalties may be imposed for violating HIPAA directly, and in
connection with acts or omissions of any agents, including a downstream Business associate, as determined according to
the federal common law of agency. Civil penalties are adjusted for inflation on an annual basis and can exceed one million
dollars per year for failure to comply with a HIPAA requirement. A single breach incident can violate multiple
requirements. Additionally, a person who knowingly obtains or discloses PHI in violation of HIPAA may face a criminal
penalties (including fines and imprisonment), which increase if the wrongful conduct involves false pretenses or the intent
to sell, transfer or use PHI for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm. Covered Entities are also subject to
enforcement by state Attorneys General who were given authority to enforce HIPAA.
Additionally, while HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to file suit against us in
civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care cases in state civil suits such
as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.
Even when HIPAA does not apply, according to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’
personal information secure constitutes unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the
Federal Trade Commission Act. The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in
light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of
available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities. Individually identifiable health information is considered
sensitive data that merits stronger safeguards. The FTC and states' Attorneys General have also brought enforcement
actions and prosecuted some data breach cases as unfair and/or deceptive acts or practices under the FTC Act and
comparable state laws.
The HIPAA privacy and security regulations establish a uniform federal "floor" and do not preempt state laws that
are more stringent or provide individuals with greater rights with respect to the privacy or security of, and access to, their
records containing PHI. These laws overlap with HIPAA and may differ from each other in significant ways and may not
have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Failure to comply with these laws, where applicable, can result
in the imposition of significant civil and/or criminal penalties and private litigation. The State of California, for example,
has implemented comprehensive laws and regulations. The California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act
(CMIA), imposes restrictive requirements regulating the use and disclosure of health information and other personally
identifiable information. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the CCPA) went into effect January 1, 2020. The
CCPA, among other things, creates new data privacy obligations for covered companies and provides new privacy rights to
California residents, including the right to opt out of certain disclosures of their information. It also creates individual
privacy rights for California consumers and increases the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain
personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data
breaches which has led to an increase data breach litigation. Although the law includes limited exceptions, including for
PHI maintained by a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA and medical information maintained by healthcare
providers under the CMIA, it may regulate or impact our processing of personal information depending on the context.
Further, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) went into effect January 1, 2023, amending the CCPA. The CPRA
imposes additional data protection obligations on covered businesses, including additional consumer rights processes,
limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher risk data, and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data and
expands the application of the CCPA to all human resources personal information of California-based employees. It also
created a new regulatory entity, the California Privacy Protection Agency data protection agency, which is authorized to
issue substantive regulations under the CPRA and is expected to result in increased privacy and information security
47
Table of Contents
enforcement. Other states have implemented similar laws protecting identifiable health and personal information, and most
such laws differ from each other in significant ways and may not be preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance
efforts.
In dealing with health information for the development of our technology or for commercial purposes, we will be
indirectly affected by HIPAA and state-imposed health information privacy and security laws because these laws regulate
the ability of our customers and research collaborators to share health information with us. Additionally, we must identify
and comply with all applicable state laws for the protection of personal information with respect to employee information
or other personal information that we collect.
In the European Union, increasingly stringent data protection and privacy rules that have and will continue to have
substantial impact on the use of personal and patient data across the healthcare industry became stronger in May 2018. The
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies across the European Union and includes, among other things, a
requirement for prompt notice of data breaches to data subjects and supervisory authorities in certain circumstances and
significant fines for non-compliance. The GDPR fine framework can be up to 20 million euros, or up to 4% of our total
global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher. The GDPR sets out a number of requirements that must
be complied with when handling the personal data of such European Union-based data subjects including: providing
expanded disclosures about how their personal data will be used; higher standards for organizations to demonstrate that
they have obtained valid consent or have another legal basis in place to justify their data processing activities; the
obligation to appoint data protection officers in certain circumstances; new rights for individuals to be “forgotten” and
rights to data portability, as well as enhanced current rights (e.g. access requests); the principal of accountability and
demonstrating compliance through policies, procedures, training and audit; and the new mandatory data breach regime. In
particular, medical or health data, genetic data and biometric data where the latter is used to uniquely identify an individual
are all classified as “special category” data under the GDPR and are afforded greater protection and require additional
compliance measures. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, data lockup or orders to stop
noncompliant activities.
We could also be subject to evolving European Union laws on data export, for transfers of data outside the
European Union to themselves, group companies or third parties. The GDPR only permits exports of data outside the
European Union to jurisdictions that ensure an adequate level of data protection. The United States has not been deemed to
offer an adequate level of protection, so in order for us to transfer personal data from the EU to the United States, we must
identify a legal basis for data transfer (e.g., the European Union Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses). On
July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union or the CJEU, issued a landmark opinion in the case Maximilian
Schrems vs. Facebook (Case C-311/18), called Schrems II. This decision (a) called into question commonly relied upon
data transfer mechanisms as between the European Union member states and the United States (such as the Standard
Contractual Clauses) and (b) invalidateds the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield on which many companies had relied as an
acceptable mechanism for transferring such data from the EU to the United States. However, on July 10, 2023, the
European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for a new mechanism for transferring data from the EU to the United
States – the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which provides EU individuals with several new rights, including the right
to obtain access to their data, or obtain correction or deletion of incorrect or unlawfully handled data. The adequacy
decision followed the signing of an executive order introducing new binding safeguards to address the points raised in the
Schrems II decision by the CJEU. The European Commission will continually review developments in the United States
along with its adequacy decision. Adequacy decisions can be adapted or even withdrawn in the event of developments
affecting the level of protection in the applicable jurisdiction. Future actions of EU data protection authorities are difficult
to predict. Some customers or other service providers may respond to these evolving laws and regulations by asking us to
make certain privacy or data-related contractual commitments that we are unable or unwilling to make. This could lead to
the loss of current or prospective customers or other business relationships.

On August 15, 2023, patent application 18/234,319, a Continuation of application No. 17/671,251, filed on Feb.
14, 2022, now Pat. No. 11,727,217, was filed in the United States Patent office. Titled “SYSTEM S AND METH ODS
FOR DYNAMIC USER INTERACTION FOR IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH”, the abstract for this application
describes as “ A computing system for interacting with a user comprises a processor and a memory storing executable
software which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to commence an interactive session with a user,
receive input data from the user during the interactive session, analyze the received input data and output a response to the
user to continue the interactive session with the user. The processor, prior to outputting the response, identifies one or more
topics from the received input data, ascertains a tone of the received input data, generates a mirroring prompt based on the
ascertained tone of the received input data, and output to the user the generated mirroring prompt. The processor outputs
the mirroring prompt to the user during the interac tive session to cause an increase in a level of engagement of the user
with the interactive session.”

Competition
In recent years, a number of digitally supported solutions have emerged to manage diabetes and other chronic
conditions. Competitors are developing new technologies rapidly and, in some cases, are also expanding to manage other
chronic conditions. In this crowded field, our success is predicated on our flexibility to adapt to evolving customer
requirements in digital health and superior execution in engagement, retention and clinical outcomes in a manner that
delivers clear return on investment in required time-horizons and in complex, highly regulated business environments. We
expect new entrants in the field and the emergence of novel technologies, as well as competition from larger technology
platform players such as Amazon, Apple and Google. Dario’s competitors vary by intervention (devices, applications,
coaching and analytics), by channel (health plan, pharma, provider, employer) and by condition (including, for example,
diabetes, MSK, HTN, behavioral health and others). Certain of our competitors offer this integrated approach in varying
degrees, including, among others, Hinge Health, Inc., Livongo Health Inc. (acquired by Teladoc Health Inc.), Omada
Health, Inc., Vida Health, Inc. and Virta Health Corp. We believe that our competitors are comparatively disadvantaged
along several axes:
● Our competitors offer point solutions for a single condition (which model is unattractive to enterprise customers
needing to manage multiple vendor relationships and who recognize that conditions frequently overlap in the
same individual);
● Our competitors fail to share member-level data or granular reporting with partners, which prevents these partners
from leveraging their own assets to support care;
● Competitor applications have limited or minimal levels of personalization, where communications (or “nudge”)
from the application may be somewhat personalized, but actual user experiences are heavily templated, and not
personalized or dynamic;
● Competitor applications are supported only by short term outcome data, as compared to our studies which cover a
2-year period and offer 8 years of direct-to-consumer data;
● Failure of any one of our competitors to successfully engage and retain a substantial portion of the base
population, as few have the direct-to-consumer experience or data required, resulting in frustrated customers who
cannot realize promised cost savings;
● Customers of our competitors suffer an inadequate user experience, as evidenced by few app store reviews and
low scores in Apple, Google and Amazon stores;
● Our competitors offer medical device-oriented approaches with delayed product update cadences, rather than our
more agile, software-driven approaches that push out new products every few weeks;
● Our competitors have slowed their improvements in the area of clinical metrics (including, for example, blood
pressure, HbA1c, and pain), which decreases the solution’s return on investment;
● Our competitors often utilize cumbersome form factors and alternative connected devices, which are not easily
portable or that otherwise require significant user effort for connectivity. By contrast, our diabetes solution, for
example, utilizes lancets, strips and a dongle held in a lipstick-sized device that physically connects to a user’s
phone and doesn’t require independent charging. As another example, our MSK device is small and easily
attaches to body parts for convenient and easy use;
● Our competitors’ applications experience limited interoperability and connectivity, such that they are unable to
integrate with third party devices, electronic health records or partnered solutions; and
● Our competitors have higher costs; our solutions are priced 30-50% lower than current comparable in-market
solutions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider
the following factors and other information in this Annual Report and our other SEC filings before making a decision to
invest in our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of may become important factors that affect
us. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial conditions and operating results may be materially and
adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock and warrants may decline, and you could lose all
or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements
We were formed in August 2011 and are thus subject to the risks associated with new businesses.
We were formed in August 2011 as a new business and, commencing from 2015, we entered the
commercialization stage of our technology. As such, this limited operating history may not be adequate to enable you to
fully assess our ability to develop and commercialize the Dario Smart Diabetes Management Solution, achieve market
acceptance of the Dario Smart Diabetes Management Solution, develop other products and respond to competition. We
commenced a commercial launch of the free Dario Smart Diabetes Management application in the United Kingdom in late
2013 and commenced an initial soft launch of the full Dario Smart Diabetes Management Solution (including the app and
the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System) in selected jurisdictions in March 2014 with the goal of collecting customer
feedback to refine our longer-term roll-out strategy and continued to scale up launch during 2014 in the United Kingdom,
the Netherlands and New Zealand, in 2015 in Australia, Israel and Canada and in 2016 in the United States. These efforts
have not generated sufficient revenues, and we will need to generate additional revenues over the next years. Therefore, we
are, and expect for the foreseeable future to be, subject to all the risks and uncertainties, inherent in a new business and the
development and sale of new medical devices and related software applications. As a result, we may be unable to fully
develop, obtain regulatory approval for, commercialize, manufacture, market, sell and derive material revenues in the
timeframes we project, if at all, and our inability to do so would materially and adversely impact our viability as a
company. In addition, we still must establish many functions necessary to operate a business, including finalizing our
managerial and administrative structure, continuing product and technology development, assessing and commencing our
marketing activities, implementing financial systems and controls and personnel recruitment.
Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in their initial revenue generating stages, particularly those in the medical device and
mobile health fields. In particular, potential investors should consider that there is a significant risk that we will not be able
to:
● implement or execute our current business plan, or that our business plan is sound;
● maintain our management team and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”);
● raise sufficient funds in the capital markets or otherwise to effectuate our business plan;
● determine that our technologies that we have developed are commercially viable; and/or
● attract, enter into or maintain contracts with, and retain customers.
In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and
results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Given our limited revenue and lack of positive cash flow, we will need to raise additional capital, which may be
unavailable to us or, even if consummated, may cause dilution or place significant restrictions on our ability to operate.
According to our management’s estimates, based on our current cash on hand and further based on our budget and
the assumption that initial commercial sales will commence during our anticipated timeframes, we believe that we will
have sufficient resources to continue our activities through 2025.
56
Table of Contents
Since we might be unable to generate sufficient revenue or cash flow to fund our operations for the foreseeable
future, we will need to seek additional equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our
operations. We may also need additional funding for developing products and services, increasing our sales and marketing
capabilities, and promoting brand identity, as well as for working capital requirements and other operating and general
corporate purposes. Moreover, the regulatory compliance arising out of being a publicly registered company has
dramatically increased our costs.
We currently have a credit facility in place with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund L.P. and Avenue Venture
Opportunities Fund II, L.P., of which $30 million was made available in May 2023. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. If such financing is not available on
satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of
business opportunities and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders
may be reduced, and accordingly these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity
securities that provide for rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. Given our need for cash
and that equity raising is the most common type of fundraising for companies like ours, the risk of dilution is particularly
significant for stockholders of our company.
Debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include liens on our assets, covenants limiting or
restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, could increase our expenses and require
that our assets be provided as a security for such debt. Debt financing would also be required to be repaid regardless of our
operating results.
If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish
some rights to our technologies or candidate products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
Funding from any source may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do not have sufficient
capital to fund our operations and expenses, we may not be able to achieve or maintain competitiveness, which could lead
to the failure of our business and the loss of your investment.
We have incurred significant losses since inception. As such, you cannot rely upon our historical operating
performance to make an investment decision regarding our company.
Since our inception, we have engaged primarily in research and development activities and in 2015 entered the
commercialization stage. We have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of
common stock and have incurred losses in each year since inception including net losses of $59,427,000 and $62,193,000
in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2023 was approximately $349,361,000. We do
not know whether or when we will become profitable. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends
upon our ability, alone or with others, to launch Dario in additional European countries, and elsewhere and manufacture,
market and sell Dario where approved. We may be unable to achieve any or all of these goals.
We may be subject to claims for rescission or damages in connection with certain sales of shares of our securities.
In March 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a registration statement that we filed
to cover 66,667 shares 76,667 warrants to purchase common stock, 76,667 shares of common stock underlying such
warrants, and underwriters’ warrants to purchase up to 7,172 shares of common stock. Sales of approximately 2,778 shares
of common stock, approximately 12,778 shares of common stock underlying warrants and approximately 1,278 shares of
common stock underlying underwriters’ warrants may not have been made in accordance with Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the purchasers of those securities may have rescission rights or be entitled to
damages. The amount of such liability, if any, is uncertain. In the event that we are required to make payments to investors
as a result of these unregistered sales of securities, our liquidity could be negatively impacted.

Risks Related to Our Business
There is no assurance that our DarioEngage software platform will succeed or be adopted by healthcare providers.
Our product offering consists of our DarioEngage software platform, where we digitally engage with Dario users,
assist them in monitoring their chronic illnesses and provide them with coaching, support, digital communications, and
real-time alerts, trends and pattern analysis. We expect that the DarioEngage software platform may be leveraged by our
potential partners, such as clinics, health care service providers, employers, and payers for scalable monitoring of people
with diabetes in a cost-effective manner, which we expect will open for us additional revenue streams. While we have
begun to execute agreements with employers and health plans in the United States, we have not yet seen wide adoption of
our platform. Therefore, the success of our DarioEngage software platform will depend entirely on our potential partners’
adoption of the platform and we cannot assure you that our potential partners will do so, or, if adopted, that they will
continue to use the platform continually and for an extended period of time. If we cannot encourage potential partners to
utilize our DarioEngage software platform we may not succeed in marketing the product to our potential partners, the
failure of which may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We only recently began commercializing Dario, and our success will depend on the acceptance of Dario in the
healthcare market.
Dario has been CE marked since 2013, enabling us to commercialize in 32 countries across Europe as well as in
certain other countries worldwide. It was also approved by the regulatory authorities in Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
Israel and South Africa, and most recently in December 2015, we received FDA clearance. As a result, we have a limited
history of commercializing Dario and commenced selling Dario in the United States in 2016. We have limited experience
engaging in commercial activities and limited established relationships with physicians and hospitals as well as third-party
suppliers on whom we depend for the manufacture of our product. We are faced with the risk that the marketplace will not
be receptive to Dario over competing products and that we will be unable to compete effectively. Factors that could affect
our ability to establish Dario or any potential future product include:
● the development of products or devices which could result in a shift of customer preferences away from our
device and services and significantly decrease revenue;
● the increased use of improved diabetes drugs that could encourage certain diabetics to test less often,
resulting in less usage of a self-monitoring test device for certain types of diabetics;
● the challenges of developing (or acquiring externally-developed) technology solutions that are adequate and
competitive in meeting the requirements of next-generation design challenges, including interoperability with
various electronic health records;
● the significant number of current competitors in the BGMS market who have significantly greater brand
recognition and more recognizable trademarks and who have established relationships with healthcare
providers and payors; and
● intense competition to attract acquisition targets, which may make it more difficult for us to acquire
companies or technologies at an acceptable price or at all.
We cannot assure you that Dario or any future product will gain broad market acceptance. If the market for Dario
or any future product fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, or if any of the technology and standards
supported by us do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, our business and operating results would be materially and
adversely affected.
We cannot accurately predict the volume or timing of any future sales, making the timing of any revenues difficult to
predict.
We may be faced with lengthy customer evaluation and approval processes associated with Dario. Consequently,
we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management effort and expense in developing customer adoption
of Dario which may not result in revenue generation. We must also obtain regulatory approvals of Dario in certain
58
Table of Contents
jurisdictions as well as approval for insurance reimbursement in order to initiate sales of Dario, each of which is subject to
risk and potential delays, and neither of which may actually occur. As such, we cannot accurately predict the volume or
timing of any future sales.
If Dario fails to satisfy current or future customer requirements, we may be required to make significant expenditures to
redesign the product, and we may have insufficient resources to do so.
Dario is being designed to address an evolving marketplace and must comply with current and evolving customer
requirements in order to gain market acceptance. There is a risk that Dario will not meet anticipated customer requirements
or desires. If we are required to redesign our products to address customer demands or otherwise modify our business
model, we may incur significant unanticipated expenses and losses, and we may be left with insufficient resources to
engage in such activities. If we are unable to redesign our products, develop new products or modify our business model to
meet customer desires or any other customer requirements that may emerge, our operating results would be materially
adversely affected, and our business might fail.
We expect to derive substantially all of our revenues from our principal technology, which leaves us subject to the risk
of reliance on such technology.
We expect to derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of products derived from our principal technology.
Our initial product utilizing this technology is Dario. As such, any factor adversely affecting sales of Dario, including the
product release cycles, regulatory issues, market acceptance, product competition, performance and reliability, reputation,
price competition and economic and market conditions, would likely harm our operating results. We may be unable to
develop other products utilizing our technology, which would likely lead to the failure of our business. Moreover, in spite
of our efforts related to the registration of our technology, if patent protection is not available for our principal technology,
the viability of Dario and any other products that may be derived from such technology would likely be adversely impacted
to a significant degree, which would materially impair our prospects.
We are dependent upon third-party manufacturers and suppliers making us vulnerable to supply shortages and
problems and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.
We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial production of the Dario Blood
Glucose Monitoring System, and we lack the resources and the capability to manufacture the Dario Blood Glucose
Monitoring System on a commercial scale. Therefore, we rely on a limited number of suppliers who manufacture and
assemble certain components of the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Our suppliers may encounter problems
during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including, for example, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures,
failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, equipment malfunction and environmental factors,
failure to properly conduct their own business affairs, and infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, any of
which could delay or impede their ability to meet our requirements. Our reliance on these third-party suppliers also
subjects us to other risks that could harm our business, including:
● we are not a major customer of many of our suppliers, and these suppliers may therefore give other
customers’ needs higher priority than ours;
● third parties may threaten or enforce their intellectual property rights against our suppliers, which may cause
disruptions or delays in shipment, or may force our suppliers to cease conducting business with us;
● we may not be able to obtain an adequate supply in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms;
● our suppliers, especially new suppliers, may make errors in manufacturing that could negatively affect the
efficacy or safety of the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System or cause delays in shipment;
● we may have difficulty locating and qualifying alternative suppliers;
59
Table of Contents
● switching components or suppliers may require product redesign and possibly submission to FDA, European
Economic Area Notified Bodies, or other foreign regulatory bodies, which could significantly impede or
delay our commercial activities;
● one or more of our sole- or single-source suppliers may be unwilling or unable to supply components of the
Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System;
● other customers may use fair or unfair negotiation tactics and/or pressures to impede our use of the supplier;
● the occurrence of a fire, natural disaster or other catastrophe impacting one or more of our suppliers may
affect their ability to deliver products to us in a timely manner; and
● our suppliers may encounter financial or other business hardships unrelated to our demand, which could
inhibit their ability to fulfill our orders and meet our requirements.
We may not be able to quickly establish additional or alternative suppliers if necessary, in part because we may
need to undertake additional activities to establish such suppliers as required by the regulatory approval process. Any
interruption or delay in obtaining products from our third-party suppliers, or our inability to obtain products from qualified
alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet the demand of our customers and
cause them to switch to competing products. Given our reliance on certain single-source suppliers, we are especially
susceptible to supply shortages because we do not have alternate suppliers currently available.
We rely in part on a small group of third-party distributors to effectively distribute our products.
We depend in part on medical device distributors for the marketing and selling of our products in certain
territories in which we have launched product sales. We depend on these distributors’ efforts to market our products, yet we
are unable to control their efforts completely. These distributors typically sell a variety of other, non-competing products
that may limit the resources they dedicate to selling Dario. In addition, we are unable to ensure that our distributors comply
with all applicable laws regarding the sale of our products. If our distributors fail to effectively market and sell Dario, in
full compliance with applicable laws, our operating results and business may suffer. Recruiting and retaining qualified
third-party distributors and training them in our technology and product offering requires significant time and resources. To
develop and expand our distribution, we must continue to scale and improve our processes and procedures that support our
distributors. Further, if our relationship with a successful distributor terminates, we may be unable to replace that
distributor without disruption to our business. If we fail to maintain positive relationships with our distributors, fail to
develop new relationships with other distributors, including in new markets, fail to manage, train or incentivize existing
distributors effectively, or fail to provide distributors with competitive products on attractive terms, or if these distributors
are not successful in their sales efforts, our revenue may decrease and our operating results, reputation and business may be
harmed.
Failure in our online and digital marketing efforts could significantly impact our ability to generate sales.
In several of our principal target markets, we utilize online and digital marketing in order to create awareness to
Dario. Our management believes that using online advertisement through affiliate networks and a variety of other pay-for-
performance methods will be superior for marketing and generating sales of Dario rather than utilizing traditional,
expensive retail channels. However, there is a risk that our marketing strategy could fail. Because we plan to use non-
traditional retail sales tools and to rely on healthcare providers to educate our customers about Dario, we cannot predict the
level of success, if any, that we may achieve by marketing Dario via the internet. The failure of our online marketing
efforts would significantly and negatively impact our ability to generate sales.
60
Table of Contents
Our Dario application, which is a key to our business model, is available via Apple’s App Store and via Google’s
Android platforms and maybe in the future via additional platforms. If we are unable to achieve or maintain a good
relationship with each of Apple and Google or similar platforms, or if the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or
any other applicable platform were unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.
A key component of the Dario Solution is an iPhone or Android application which includes tools to help diabetic
patients manage their disease. This application is compatible with Apple’s iOS and with Google’s Android platforms and
may in the future become compatible via additional platforms. If we are unable to make our Dario Smart Diabetes
Management application compatible with these platforms, or if there is any deterioration in our relationship with either
Apple or Google or others after our application is available, our business would be materially harmed.
We are subject to each of Apple’s and Google’s standard terms and conditions for application developers, which
govern the promotion, distribution, and operation of games and other applications on their respective storefronts. Each of
Apple and Google has broad discretion to change its standard terms and conditions, including changes which could require
us to pay to have our Dario application available for downloading. In addition, these standard terms and conditions can be
vague and subject to changing interpretations by Apple or Google. We may not receive any advance warning of such
changes. In addition, each of Apple and Google has the right to prohibit a developer from distributing its applications on its
storefront if the developer violates its standard terms and conditions. In the event that either Apple or Google ever
determines that we are in violation of its standard terms and conditions, including by a new interpretation, and prohibits us
from distributing our Dario Management application on its storefront, it would materially harm our business.
Additionally, we will rely on the continued function of the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store as digital
storefronts where our Dario application may be obtained. There have been occasions in the past when these digital
storefronts were unavailable for short periods of time or where there have been issues with the in-app purchasing
functionality within the storefront. In the event that either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store is unavailable or if
in-app purchasing functionality within the storefront is non-operational for a prolonged period of time, it would have a
material adverse effect on the ability of our customers to secure the Dario Smart Diabetes Management application, which
would materially harm our business.
We rely upon Software-as-a-Services, or SAAS, technologies from third parties to operate our business, and
interruptions or performance problems with these technologies may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
We rely on hosted SaaS applications from third parties in order to operate critical functions of our business,
including platform delivery, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, billing, project management
and accounting and financial reporting. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions or
because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage
finances could be interrupted and our processes for managing sales of our platform and products and supporting our
customers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained and implemented, all of which
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The SaaS pricing model is evolving and our failure to manage its evolution and demand could lead to lower than
expected revenue and profit.
We derive most of our revenue growth from subscription offerings and, specifically, SaaS offerings. This business
model depends heavily on achieving economies of scale because the initial upfront investment is costly and the associated
revenue is recognized on a ratable basis. If we fail to achieve appropriate economies of scale or if we fail to manage or
anticipate the evolution and demand of the SaaS pricing model, then our business and operating results could be adversely
affected.
Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to the timing of our recognition of SaaS revenues.
We may experience volatility in our reported revenues and operating results due to the differences in timing of
revenue recognition between our SaaS offerings and our traditional on-premise software and hardware sales. SaaS revenues
are generally recognized ratably over the life of the subscriptions. In contrast, revenue from our on-premise
61
Table of Contents
software and hardware sales is generally recognized in full at the time of delivery. Accordingly, the SaaS delivery model
creates risks related to the timing of revenue recognition not associated with our traditional on-premise software delivery
model and hardware sales. A portion of our SaaS revenue results from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to
subscription agreements entered into during prior reporting periods. A decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any
period may not be immediately reflected in our reported financial results for that period, but may result in a decline in our
revenue in future reporting periods. If any of our assumptions about revenue from our SaaS delivery model prove incorrect,
our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected.
Any damage, failure or disruption of our SaaS network infrastructure or data centers could impair our ability to
effectively provide our solution, harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.
Our SaaS network infrastructure is a critical part of our business operations. Our clients access our solution
through standard web browsers, smart phones, tablets and other web-enabled devices and depend on us for fast and reliable
access to our solution. We serve all of our clients from our data centers located in the United-States. Our SaaS network
infrastructure and data centers are vulnerable to damage, failure and disruption.
In the future, we may experience issues with our computing and communications infrastructure, or data centers
caused by the following factors:
•human error;
•telecommunications failures or outages from third-party providers;
• computer viruses or cyber-attacks;
•break-ins or other security breaches;
•acts of terrorism, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism or other misconduct;
•tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters;
•power loss; and
•other unforeseen interruptions or damages.
If our SaaS network infrastructure or our clients’ ability to access our solution is interrupted, client and employee
data from recent transactions may be permanently lost, and we could be exposed to significant claims by clients,
particularly if the access interruption is associated with problems in the timely delivery of funds payable to employees or
tax authorities. Further, any adverse changes in service levels at our data centers resulting from damage to or failure of our
data centers could result in disruptions in our services. Any significant instances of system downtime or performance
problems at our data centers could negatively affect our reputation and ability to attract new clients, prevent us from
gaining new or additional business from our current clients, or cause our current clients to terminate their use of our
solution, any of which would adversely impact our revenues. In addition, if our network infrastructure and data centers fail
to support increased capacity due to growth in our business, our clients may experience interruptions in the availability of
our solution. Such interruptions may reduce our revenues, cause us to issue refunds to clients or adversely affect our
retention of existing clients, any of which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results or financial
condition.
Our products are subject to technological changes which may impact their use.
Our Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System is currently designed to be plugged into the Lighting jack for Apple
devices or the USB-C jack for other mobile devices. As a result, our products are subject to future technological changes to
mobile devices that may occur in the future. If we are unable to modify our products to keep pace with such technological
changes, it would have a material adverse effect the ability of our customers to use our products, which would materially
harm our business.

As we conduct business internationally, we are susceptible to risks associated with international relationships.
Outside of the United States, we operate our business internationally, presently in Europe, Australia and Canada.
The international operation of our business requires significant management attention, which could negatively affect our
business if it diverts their attention from their other responsibilities. In the event that we are unable to manage the
complications associated with international operations, our business prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, as a result of the crisis in Ukraine, both the United States and the EU have implemented sanctions against
certain Russian individuals and entities, as well with respect to Belarus, and may impact the economic and political
stability in the EU. If the EU experiences economic and political instability as a result of these current tensions, our
business, including revenue, profitability and cash flows, and operations could be adversely affected. In addition, doing
business with foreign customers subjects us to additional risks that we do not generally face in the United States. These
risks and uncertainties include:
● management, communication and integration problems resulting from cultural differences and geographic
dispersion;
● localization of products and services, including translation of foreign languages;
● delivery, logistics and storage costs;
● longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
● difficulties supporting international operations;
● difficulties supporting customer services;
● changes in economic and political conditions;
● impact of trade protection measures;
● complying with import or export licensing requirements;
● exchange rate fluctuations;
● competition from companies with international operations, including large international competitors and
entrenched local companies;
● potentially adverse tax consequences, including foreign tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of
earnings;
● maintaining and servicing computer hardware in distant locations;
● keeping current and complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and legal standards, including local labor
laws;
● securing or maintaining protection for our intellectual property; and
● reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights, including the ability to transfer such rights to
third parties, in some countries.
The occurrence of any or all of these risks could adversely affect our international business and, consequently, our
results of operations and financial condition.

We expect to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect our results of
operations.
Because we expect to conduct a material portion of our business outside of the United States but report our
financial results in U.S. Dollars, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates. Our foreign
operations will be exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results are translated from the local
currency into U.S. Dollars upon consolidation. Specifically, the U.S. Dollar cost of our operations in Israel is influenced by
any movements in the currency exchange rate of the New Israeli Shekel (NIS). Such movements in the currency exchange
rate may have a negative effect on our financial results. If the U.S. Dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the
translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions will result in increased revenue, operating expenses and
net income. Similarly, if the U.S. Dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies
denominated transactions will result in decreased revenue, operating expenses and net income. As exchange rates vary,
sales and other operating results, when translated, may differ materially from our or the capital market’s expectations.
Non-U.S. governments often impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.
We intend to seek approval to market Dario and any future product in both the U.S. and in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
If we obtain approval in one or more non-U.S. jurisdictions, we will be subject to rules and regulations in those
jurisdictions relating to our products. In some countries, particularly countries of the European Union, each of which has
developed its own rules and regulations, pricing may be subject to governmental control under certain circumstances. In
these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing
approval for a medical device candidate. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be
required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our product to other available products. If
reimbursement of our product candidates is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory
levels, we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.
Our Dario Solution and associated business processes may contain undetected errors, which could limit our ability to
provide our services and diminish the attractiveness of our service offerings.
The Dario Management Solution may contain undetected errors, defects or bugs. As a result, our customers or end
users may discover errors or defects in our products, software or the systems we design, or the products or systems
incorporating our designs and intellectual property may not operate as expected. We may discover significant errors or
defects in the future that we may not be able to fix. Our inability to fix any of those errors could limit our ability to provide
our products, impair the reputation of our brand and diminish the attractiveness of our product offerings to our customers.
In addition, we may utilize third-party technology or components in our products, and we rely on those third
parties to provide support services to us. Failure of those third parties to provide necessary support services could
materially adversely impact our business.
Our future performance will depend on the continued engagement of key members of our management team.
Our future performance depends to a large extent on the continued services of members of our current
management including, in particular, Erez Raphael, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors
and Zvi Ben David, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, and Richard Anderson, our President and General
Manager for North America. In the event that we lose the continued services of such key personnel for any reason, this
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and prospects.
If we are not able to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, scientific and technical personnel, we may not be able
to implement our business model successfully.
We believe that our management team must be able to act decisively to apply and adapt our business model in the
rapidly changing markets in which we will compete. In addition, we will rely upon technical and scientific employees or
third-party contractors to effectively establish, manage and grow our business. Consequently, we believe that our future
viability will depend largely on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, scientific and technical
personnel. In order to do so, we may need to pay higher compensation or fees to our employees or consultants than we
64
Table of Contents
currently expect, and such higher compensation payments would have a negative effect on our operating results.
Competition for experienced, high-quality personnel is intense and we cannot assure that we will be able to recruit and
retain such personnel. We may not be able to hire or retain the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy. Our
failure to hire and retain such personnel could impair our ability to develop new products and manage our business
effectively.
We may not generate the expected benefits of our acquisition of Twill, and the integration of this business could disrupt
our ongoing business, distract our management and increase our expenses.
Through our acquisitions of Twill, we expanded our product offering to include digital-first solutions with a
mission to improve users mental and physical health. We believe that the successful integration of Twill’s business into our
operations is important for our future financial performance. This will require that we integrate more closely the
companies’ product offerings and research and development capabilities, retain key employees, assimilate diverse
corporate cultures, further integrate management information systems and consolidate the acquired operations, each of
which could pose significant challenges. The difficulty of combining Twill with our company may be increased by the need
to integrate personnel, and changes effected in the combination may cause key employees to leave.
It is possible that the integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of valuable
employees, additional and unforeseen expenses, the disruption of our ongoing business, processes and systems, or
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements, any of which could
adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. The diversion of the attention of
management created by the integration process, any disruptions or other difficulties encountered in the integration process,
and unforeseen liabilities or unanticipated problems with the acquired businesses could have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that these acquisitions will provide the
benefits we expect or that we will be able to integrate and develop the operations of Twill successfully. Any failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Risks Related to Product Development and Regulatory Approval
The regulatory clearance process which we must navigate is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain and may
prevent us from obtaining clearance for the commercialization of Dario or our any future product.
We are not permitted to market Dario in any jurisdiction until we receive marketing authorization from the
applicable regulatory authority. To date, we have received regulatory authorization in Australia, Canada, Israel, Italy, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The research, design, testing, manufacturing, labeling, selling, marketing and distribution of medical devices are
subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities, which regulations differ from country to
country. In particular, marketing authorization requirements vary between countries and can involve additional product
testing and additional administrative review periods. The time required to obtain marketing authorization in other countries
might differ from that required to obtain FDA clearance or other marketing authorization. Obtaining authorization for a
device in one country does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory
authorization in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others. There can be no assurance that even
after such time and expenditures, we will be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for clinical testing or for the
manufacturing or marketing of any products. In addition, during the regulatory process, other companies may develop
other technologies with the same intended use as our products. Significant delays in receiving, or the failure to receive,
marketing authorization for our new products would have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business.
We are also subject to numerous post-marketing regulatory requirements, which include quality management
system regulations, labeling regulations and medical device reporting regulations. Specifically, the medical device
reporting regulations require us to report to different regulatory agencies if our device causes or contributes to a death or
serious injury, or malfunctions in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. In addition, these
regulatory requirements may change in the future in a way that adversely affects us, or various regulatory authorities may
take other actions that could prevent or delay authorization of our products under development or impact our ability to gain
authorization for modifications to our currently approved or cleared products in a timely manner. If we fail to comply
65
Table of Contents
with present or future regulatory requirements that are applicable to us, we may be subject to enforcement action by
regulatory agencies, which may include, among others, any of the following sanctions:
● untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;
● customer notification, or orders for repair, replacement or refunds;
● voluntary or mandatory recall or seizure of our current or future products;
● imposing operating restrictions, suspension or shutdown of production;
● refusing our requests for marketing authorization of new products, new intended uses or modifications to
Dario or future products;
● suspending or withdrawing marketing authorizations that have already been granted; and
● criminal prosecution.
The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We have conducted limited clinical trials of Dario. Clinical and nonclinical data is susceptible to varying
interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent additional regulatory clearances.
To date, we have conducted limited clinical trials on Dario. There can be no assurance that we will successfully
complete additional clinical trials necessary to receive additional regulatory approvals in certain jurisdictions. While
studies conducted by us have produced results we believe to be encouraging and indicative of the potential efficacy of
Dario, data already obtained, or in the future obtained, from nonclinical studies and clinical trials do not necessarily predict
the results that will be obtained from later nonclinical studies or clinical trials. Moreover, nonclinical and clinical data are
susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent additional regulatory approvals. A number of
companies in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical
trials, even after promising results in earlier studies. If we fail to adequately demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a
product candidate under development, it could delay or prevent regulatory authorization of the device, resulting in delays
to commercialization, and could materially harm our business. Even though we have received CE mark and FDA
clearance of Dario, there can be no assurance that we will be able to receive authorization for other potential applications
of our principal technology, or that we will receive regulatory authorizations from other targeted regions or countries.
We may be unable to complete required clinical trials, or we may experience significant delays in completing such
clinical trials, which could significantly delay our targeted product launch timeframe and impair our viability and
business plan.
The completion of any future clinical trials for Dario or other trials that we may be required to undertake in the
future could be delayed, suspended or terminated for several reasons, including:
● delay or failure in reaching agreement with regulatory authorities on a trial design that we are able to
execute;
● delay or failure in obtaining authorization to commence a trial, including approval from the appropriate IRB
to conduct testing of a product candidate on human subjects, or inability to comply with conditions imposed
by a regulatory authority regarding the scope or design of a clinical trial;
● delay in reaching, or failure to reach, agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract research
organizations and clinical trial sites, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary
significantly among different CROs and trial sites;
● failure or inability to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements;
66
Table of Contents
● sites participating in the trial may drop out of the trial, which may require us to engage new sites for an
expansion of the number of sites that are permitted to be involved in the trial;
● failure to initiate or delay of or inability to complete a clinical trial as a result of a clinical hold imposed by a
regulatory authority due to observed safety findings or other reasons;
● delays that we may experience in patient enrollment or completion of certain trials;
● patients may not enroll in, remain in or complete, the clinical trial at the rates we expect; and
● clinical investigators may not perform our clinical trial on our anticipated schedule or consistent with the
clinical trial protocol and good clinical practices.
In addition, the U.S. Congress recently amended the FDCA to require sponsors of any pivotal study to support
marketing authorization of a medical device to design and submit a diversity action plan for such clinical trial. The action
plan must describe appropriate diversity goals for enrollment, as well as a rationale for the goals and a description of how
the sponsor will meet them. For any future pivotal studies involving our device products or product candidates, we must
submit a diversity action plan to the FDA by the time a pivotal study protocol is submitted to the agency for review, as
applicable, unless we are able to obtain a waiver for some or all of the requirements for a diversity action plan. It is
unknown at this time how the diversity action plan may affect the planning and timing of any future pivotal study for our
products or product candidates or what specific information FDA will expect in such plan. However, initiation of such
studies may be delayed if the FDA objects to a proposed diversity action plans for any future pivotal study of our product
candidates, and we may experience difficulties recruiting a diverse population of patients in attempting to fulfill the
requirements of any approved diversity action plan.
If our ongoing or future clinical trials are delayed it will take us longer to further commercialize Dario and
generate additional revenues. Moreover, our development costs will increase if we have material delays in our clinical trial
or if we need to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned. We may be faced with similar risks in connection with
future trials we conduct. See “Business - Clinical Trials” for a description of our clinical trials performed to date.
If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation or any applicable state equivalent,
our operations could be interrupted, and our operating results could suffer.
We, our manufacturers and suppliers must, unless specifically exempt by regulation, follow the FDA’s QSR, as
well as similar regulations of foreign jurisdictions regarding the manufacturing process. In addition, we and certain of our
manufacturers and suppliers are subject to inspection by regulatory authorities to assess regulatory compliance from time to
time and may not be able to demonstrate adequate compliance with applicable regulations. If we, our affiliates, our
manufacturers or suppliers are found to be in significant non-compliance or fail to take satisfactory corrective action in
response to adverse inspectional findings, the FDA or other applicable regulatory authority could take enforcement actions
against us and our manufacturers which could impair our ability to produce our products in a cost-effective and timely
manner in order to meet our customers’ demands. Accordingly, our operating results could suffer.
We are subject to the risk of reliance on third parties to conduct our clinical trial work.
We depend on independent clinical investigators to conduct our clinical trials. Contract research organizations
may also assist us in the collection and analysis of data. These investigators and contract research organizations will not be
our employees and we will not be able to control, other than by contract, the number of resources, including the time that
they devote to products that we develop. Nevertheless, we are responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is
conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol and legal, regulatory and scientific standards, and our reliance on the
investigators or contract research organizations does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities. If the independent
investigators or contract research organizations fail to devote sufficient resources to our clinical trials, or if their
performance is substandard, it will delay the approval or clearance and commercialization of any products that we develop.
Further, the FDA and other regulatory bodies around the world require that we comply with GCP standards for conducting,
recording and reporting clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,
integrity, and confidentiality of trial subjects are protected. If our independent clinical investigators and contract research
67
Table of Contents
organizations fail to comply with GCP, the results of our clinical trials could be called into question and the clinical
development of our product candidates could be delayed. Failure of clinical investigators or contract research organizations
to meet their obligations to us or comply with federal regulations could adversely affect the clinical development of our
product candidates and harm our business. Moreover, we intend to conduct several clinical trials in order to support our
marketing efforts and business development purposes. Such clinical trials will be conducted by third parties as well. Failure
of such clinical trials to meet their primary endpoints could adversely affect our marketing efforts.
If any of our relationships with the investigators or contract research organizations conducting our ongoing or
future trials terminate, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. Entering into arrangements with alternative contract research organizations, trial investigators or
other third parties involves additional cost and requires management focus and time, in addition to requiring a transition
period when a new contract research organization, trial investigator or other third party begins work. If third parties do not
successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced or if
the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain are compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical
protocols, regulatory requirements or for other reasons, any clinical trials such third parties are associated with may be
extended, delayed or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain marketing authorization for or successfully
commercialize our product candidates.
Because we have relied on third parties to conduct our clinical trials, our internal capacity to perform these
functions is limited. Outsourcing these functions involves risk that third parties may not perform to our standards, may not
produce results in a timely manner or may fail to perform at all. In addition, the use of third-party service providers
requires us to disclose our proprietary information to these parties, which could increase the risk that this information will
be misappropriated. To the extent we are unable to identify and successfully manage the performance of third-party service
providers in the future, our business may be adversely affected. Though we carefully manage our relationships with our
contract research organizations and investigators, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter similar challenges or
delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition and prospects.
Recent initiatives by the FDA to enhance and modernize various regulatory pathways for device products and its overall
approach to safety and innovation in the medical technology industry creates the possibility of changing product
development costs, requirements, and other factors and additional uncertainty for our future products and business.
Regulatory requirements may change in the future in a way that adversely affects us. Any change in the laws or
regulations that govern the clearance and approval processes or the post-market compliance requirements relating to our
current and future products could make it more difficult and costly to obtain clearance or approval for new products, or to
produce, market and distribute existing products. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or
the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any
marketing authorization that we otherwise may have obtained, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which
would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
In recent years, the U.S. government, including the FDA and other government agencies, have been focusing on
the cybersecurity risks associated with certain medical devices and encouraging device manufacturers to take a more
proactive approach to assessing the cybersecurity risks of their devices both during development and on a periodic basis
after the devices are in commercial distribution. For example, in December 2022, the Congress enacted the Consolidated
Appropriations Act for 2023, an omnibus appropriations bill, which included amendments to the FDCA under the Food
and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (“FDORA”). In addition to the requirement that sponsors of pivotal trials submit
diversity action plans for pivotal trials (see “Government Regulation—Clinical Trials”), FDORA included new
requirements for cyber devices, defined as any medical device that is or includes software that is validated, installed, or
authorized by the manufacturer; can connect to the internet; and may be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Under the
FDORA amendments to the FDCA, any application for marketing authorization of the cyber device must include a
software bill of materials and a cybersecurity plan describing the methods by which the manufacturer will monitor, identify
and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Any failure by a cyber device manufacturer to comply with applicable
cybersecurity requirements is considered a violation of the FDCA and will subject the manufacturer to enforcement actions
and possibly legal sanctions. Further regulatory efforts by the FDA or other federal or state regulatory authorities could
68
Table of Contents
lead to new, onerous cybersecurity requirements in the future as well as additional product liability or other litigation risks
if any of our products is considered to be susceptible to third-party tampering.
In addition, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act in December 2016, which made multiple changes to the
FDA’s rules for medical devices as well as for clinical trials, and the Medical Device User Fee reauthorization package in
September 2022, which affects medical device regulation both pre- and post-approval and could have certain impacts on
our business. In recent years, the FDA has also considered a series of efforts to modernize and streamline the 510(k)
notification and regulatory review process and monitoring post-market safety. For example, as of October 2023, all 510(k)
applications (unless specifically exempted) must be submitted to the FDA electronically using the electronic submission
template and resource, or eSTAR, and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Portal. Further changes in
the FDA 510(k) process could make clearance more difficult to obtain, increase delay, add uncertainty and have other
significant adverse effects on our ability to obtain and maintain clearance for our products.
Furthermore, the FDA issued a Final Rule on February 2, 2024 describing amendments to harmonize the QSR
with ISO 13485:2016, which will become effective on February 2, 2026. The harmonization process is not expected to
have a significant impact on the quality system compliance operations of device manufacturers because most requirements
described in the QSR correspond to requirements set forth in ISO 13485:2016. However, device manufacturers will likely
need to revise certain quality system procedures to ensure compliance with the harmonized regulations and any failure by
us or our third-party manufacturers to make such revisions or adapt to the harmonized regulations, once they become
effective, may result in observations of noncompliance during facility inspections by the FDA or comparable regulatory
authorities.
Broad-based domestic and international government initiatives to reduce spending, particularly those related to
healthcare costs, may reduce reimbursement rates for medical procedures, or make it more difficult for customers to
purchase our products and services, all of which could adversely affect our business.
Healthcare reforms, changes in healthcare policies and changes to third-party coverage and reimbursements,
including legislation enacted reforming the U.S. healthcare system and both domestic and foreign healthcare cost
containment legislation, and any future changes to such legislation, may affect demand for our products and services and
may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Reforms implemented under the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation
Act, (the “ACA”) in the United States, as well as state-level healthcare reform proposals, could reduce medical procedure
volumes and impact the demand for medical device products or the prices at which we can sell products. The impact of
healthcare reform legislation, and practices including price regulation, competitive pricing, comparative effectiveness of
therapies, technology assessments, and managed care arrangements are uncertain. There can be no assurance that current
levels of reimbursement will not be decreased in the future, or that future legislation, regulation, or reimbursement policies
of third parties will not adversely affect the demand for our products and services or our ability to sell products and provide
services on a profitable basis. The adoption of significant changes to the healthcare system in the United States, the EEA or
other jurisdictions in which we may market our products and services, could limit the prices we are able to charge for our
products and services or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products and services, could limit the acceptance
and availability of our products and services, reduce medical procedure volumes and increase operational and other costs.
Legislative and regulatory changes under the ACA remain possible, but it is unknown what form any such
changes or any law would take, and how or whether it may affect the medical device industry as a whole or our business in
the future. In addition to the ACA, there have been and will likely continue to be other federal and state changes that affect
the provision of healthcare goods and services in the United States. While we are unable to predict what changes may
ultimately be enacted, to the extent that future changes affect how our products and services are paid for and reimbursed by
government and private payers, our business could be adversely impacted. Moreover, complying with any new legislation
or reversing changes implemented under the ACA could be time-intensive and expensive, resulting in a material adverse
effect on the business.
In addition, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny, including increasing legislative and enforcement
interest, in recent years over the manner in which manufacturers set prices for their marketed healthcare products, which
has resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted legislation designed, among other things, to bring
69
Table of Contents
more transparency to healthcare product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient
programs and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for healthcare products. Individual states in the
United States have also become increasingly active in implementing regulations designed to control healthcare product
pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and
marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures and, in some cases, mechanisms to encourage importation of
healthcare products from other countries. Additionally, third-party payors and governmental authorities have become
increasingly interested in reference pricing systems and publication of discounts and list prices.
We are subject to federal, state and foreign laws prohibiting “kickbacks” and false or fraudulent claims, and other
fraud and abuse laws, transparency laws, and other healthcare laws and regulations, which, if violated, could subject us
to substantial penalties. Additionally, any challenge to or investigation into our practices under these laws could cause
adverse publicity and be costly to respond to, and thus could harm our business.
Our relationships with customers and third-party payors are subject to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and
other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain our sales, marketing and other promotional activities by limiting
the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs and certain customer and product support programs, we may
have with hospitals, physicians or other purchasers of medical devices. Other federal and state laws generally prohibit
individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare,
Medicaid, or other third-party payors that are false or fraudulent, or are for items or services that were not provided as
claimed. These laws include, among others, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal civil False Claims Act, other
federal healthcare false statement and fraud statutes, the Open Payments program under the Physician Payments Sunshine
Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, and analogous fraud and abuse and transparency laws in most states, as described in
“Government Regulation—Other U.S. Healthcare Laws and Regulations.” Although the federal laws generally apply only
to products or services for which payment may be made by a government healthcare program, state laws often apply
regardless of whether federal funds may be involved.
While we believe and strive to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties and other activities and
programs comply with all applicable laws, these laws are complex, and our activities may be found not to be compliant
with one or more of these laws, which may result in significant civil, criminal and/or administrative penalties, fines,
damages and exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs. Even an unsuccessful challenge or
investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity, and be costly to respond to, and thus could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our compliance with Medicare and Medicaid
regulations may be reviewed by federal or state agencies, including the Office of Inspector General for the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS-OIG), CMS, and the Department of Justice, or may be subject to
whistleblower lawsuits under federal and state false claims laws.
Product liability suits, whether or not meritorious, could be brought against us due to an alleged defective product or for
the misuse of Dario or our potential future products. These suits could result in expensive and time-consuming
litigation, payment of substantial damages, and an increase in our insurance rates.
If Dario or any of our future products are defectively designed or manufactured, contain defective components, or
are misused, or if someone claims any of the foregoing, whether or not meritorious, we may become subject to substantial
and costly litigation. Misusing our device or failing to adhere to the operating guidelines or the device producing inaccurate
meter readings could cause significant harm to patients, including death. In addition, if our operating guidelines are found
to be inadequate, we may be subject to liability. Product liability claims could divert management’s attention from our core
business, be expensive to defend and result in sizable damage awards against us. While we maintain product liability
insurance, we may not have sufficient insurance coverage for all future claims. Any product liability claims brought against
us, with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing continuing
coverage, could harm our reputation in the industry and could reduce revenue. Product liability claims in excess of our
insurance coverage would be paid out of cash reserves harming our financial condition and adversely affecting our results
of operations.
70

If we are found to have violated laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, we could be subject to
civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation or our business.
Part of our business plan includes the storage and potential monetization of medical data of users of Dario. There
are a number of federal and state laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient
records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services promulgated patient privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (which we refer to as HIPAA). These privacy rules protect medical records and other personal health information by
limiting their use and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access, amend and seek accounting of their own health
information and limiting most use and disclosures of health information to the minimum amount reasonably necessary to
accomplish the intended purpose. We may face difficulties in holding such information in compliance with applicable law.
If we are found to be in violation of the privacy rules under HIPAA, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties,
which could increase our liabilities, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition to data protection laws passed by the U.S. federal government, many U.S. states and foreign countries
have implemented their own data protection laws, some of which may apply simultaneously and conflict with U.S. federal
law. Many of these laws create consumer rights including the right to know what personal information is collected, the
right to know whether the data is sold or disclosed and to whom, the right to request that a company delete personal
information collected, the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information and the right to non-discrimination in terms of
price or service when a consumer exercises a privacy right. If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could be subject
to civil sanctions, including fines and penalties for noncompliance.
In particular, data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations adopted in jurisdictions outside of the United
States can be more restrictive than corresponding U.S. laws and regulations. Data localization laws in some countries
generally mandate that certain types of data collected in a particular country be stored and/or processed within that country.
We could be subject to audits in Europe and around the world, particularly in the areas of consumer and data protection, as
we continue to grow and expand our operations. Legislators and regulators may make legal and regulatory changes, or
interpret and apply existing laws, in ways that make our products less useful to customers, require us to incur substantial
costs, expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, or cause us to change our business practices. These changes or
increased costs could negatively impact our business and results of operations in material ways. For example, the GDPR
imposes requirements in the European Economic Area relating to, among other things, consent to process personal data of
individuals, the information provided to individuals regarding the processing of their personal data, the security and
confidentiality of personal data, notifications in the event of data breaches and use of third-party processors. The GDPR
also imposes restrictions on the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area to third countries like the
United States, although the European Commission recently adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework. If we fail to comply with these standards, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions,
including fines and penalties and amounts could be significant.
Our employees, independent contractors, consultants, manufacturers and suppliers may engage in misconduct or other
improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, manufacturers and suppliers
may engage in fraudulent or illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or
negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to us that violates: (i) the laws of the FDA and other similar
foreign regulatory bodies, including those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such
regulators; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) healthcare fraud and abuse laws in the United States and similar foreign
fraudulent misconduct laws; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or
data. These laws may impact, among other things, future sales, marketing and education programs. In particular, the
promotion, sales and marketing of healthcare items and services, as well as certain business arrangements in the healthcare
industry, are subject to extensive laws designed to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These
laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, structuring
and commissions, certain customer incentive programs and other business arrangements generally. Activities subject to
these laws also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of patient recruitment for clinical trials.

Although we have a code of business conduct and ethics, it is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct
by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent these activities may not be
effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or
other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are
instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could result in
the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative
penalties, damages, monetary fines, disgorgement, individual imprisonment, additional integrity reporting and oversight
obligations, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs,
contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of operations, any of which
could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations. Whether or not we are successful in
defending against any such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the
attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
The failure to obtain or maintain patents, licensing agreements and other intellectual property could materially impact
our ability to compete effectively.
In order for our business to be viable and to compete effectively, we need to develop and maintain, and we will
heavily rely on, our proprietary position with respect to our technologies and intellectual property. We filed a Patent
Cooperation Treaty (or PCT) application for a “Fluids Testing Apparatus and Methods of Use” in May 2011 which
incorporates two U.S. provisional applications submitted in the preceding year. The PCT covers the specific processes
related to blood glucose level measurement as well as more general methods of rapid tests of body fluids and has
subsequently been converted into several national phase patent applications. We have also filed patent applications for
other aspects of the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring Solution. We have also obtained numerous Web domains.
However, to date, we have only been issued four patents (three of which were issued in the United States) relating
to how the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System draws power from and transmits data to a smartphone via the audio
jack port. None of our other patents have been granted by a patent office. In addition, there are significant risks associated
with our actual or proposed intellectual property. The risks and uncertainties that we face with respect to our pending patent
and other proprietary rights principally include the following:
● pending patent applications we have filed or will file may not result in issued patents or may take longer than
we expect to result in issued patents;
● we may be subject to interference proceedings;
● we may be subject to opposition proceedings in foreign countries;
● any patents that are issued to us may not provide meaningful protection;
● we may not be able to develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;
● other companies may challenge patents licensed or issued to us;
● other companies may have independently developed and/or patented (or may in the future independently
develop and patent) similar or alternative technologies, or duplicate our technologies;
● other companies may design their technologies around technologies we have licensed or developed; and
● enforcement of patents is complex, uncertain and very expensive.
We cannot be certain that patents will be issued as a result of any of our pending or future applications, or that any
of our patents, once issued, will provide us with adequate protection from competing products. For example, issued patents
may be circumvented or challenged, declared invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope. In addition, since
72
Table of Contents
the publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that
we were the first to make our inventions or to file patent applications covering those inventions.
It is also possible that others may have or may obtain issued patents that could prevent us from commercializing
our products or require us to obtain licenses requiring the payment of significant fees or royalties in order to enable us to
conduct our business. As to those patents that we have licensed, our rights depend on maintaining our obligations to the
licensor under the applicable license agreement, and we may be unable to do so.
Costly litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be subject to claims alleging the
violation of the intellectual property rights of others.
We may face significant expense and liability as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patents and
intellectual property rights of others. In the event that another party has also filed a patent application or been issued a
patent relating to an invention or technology claimed by us in pending applications, we may be required to participate in an
interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention,
which could result in substantial uncertainties and costs for us, even if the eventual outcome was favorable to us. We, or
our licensors, also could be required to participate in interference proceedings involving issued patents and pending
applications of another entity. An adverse outcome in an interference proceeding could require us to cease using the
technology, substantially modify it or to license rights from prevailing third parties.
The cost to us of any patent litigation or other proceeding relating to our licensed patents or patent applications,
even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, especially given our early stage of development. Our ability to enforce
our patent protection could be limited by our financial resources and may be subject to lengthy delays. A third party may
claim that we are using inventions claimed by their patents and may go to court to stop us from engaging in our normal
operations and activities, such as research, development and the sale of any future products. Such lawsuits are expensive
and would consume significant time and other resources. There is a risk that a court will decide that we are infringing the
third party’s patents and will order us to stop the activities claimed by the patents. In addition, there is a risk that a court
will order us to pay the other party damages for having infringed their patents.
Moreover, there is no guarantee that any prevailing patent owner would offer us a license so that we could
continue to engage in activities claimed by the patent, or that such a license if made available to us, could be acquired on
commercially acceptable terms. In addition, third parties may, in the future, assert other intellectual property infringement
claims against us with respect to our services, technologies or other matters.
We have limited foreign intellectual property rights and may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights
throughout the world.
We have limited intellectual property rights outside the United States. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents
on devices in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in
some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as laws in the United States. Consequently, we may
not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling
or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use
our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patents to develop their own products and further, may export
otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patents, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United
States.
Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property in
foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly China and certain other developing countries, do
not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property, particularly those relating to medical
devices and biopharmaceutical products, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or
marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. To date, we have not sought to enforce
any issued patents in these foreign jurisdictions. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could
result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business could put our patents at risk
of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third
73
Table of Contents
parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies
awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain countries,
particularly developing countries. Certain countries in Europe and developing countries, including China and India, have
compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In those
countries, we and our licensors may have limited remedies if patents are infringed or if we or our licensors are compelled
to grant a license to a third party, which could materially diminish the value of those patents. This could limit our potential
revenue opportunities. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be
inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.
We rely on confidentiality agreements that could be breached and may be difficult to enforce, which could result in third
parties using our intellectual property to compete against us.
Although we believe that we take reasonable steps to protect our intellectual property, including the use of
agreements relating to the non-disclosure of confidential information to third parties, as well as agreements that purport to
require the disclosure and assignment to us of the rights to the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions of our
employees and consultants while we employ them, the agreements can be difficult and costly to enforce. Although we seek
to enter into these types of agreements with our contractors, consultants, advisors and research collaborators, to the extent
that employees and consultants utilize or independently develop intellectual property in connection with any of our
projects, disputes may arise as to the intellectual property rights associated with our technology. If a dispute arises, a court
may determine that the right belongs to a third party. In addition, enforcement of our rights can be costly and unpredictable.
We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect in part by confidentiality agreements with
our employees, contractors, consultants, advisors or others. Despite the protective measures we employ, we still face the
risk that:
● these agreements may be breached;
● these agreements may not provide adequate remedies for the applicable type of breach;
● our proprietary know-how will otherwise become known; or
● our competitors will independently develop similar technology or proprietary information.
We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our patents and other intellectual property.
We may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in our
patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. For example, we may have inventorship disputes arise
from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing our product candidates. Litigation
may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship. If we fail in defending any such
claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive
ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our
business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a
distraction to management and other employees. In addition, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that an employee who
receives a patent or contributes to an invention during his employment may be allowed to seek compensation for such
contributions from his or her employer, even if the employee’s contract of employment specifically states otherwise and the
employee has transferred all intellectual property rights to the employer. The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the fact that a
contract revokes an employee’s right for royalties and compensation, does not rule out the right of the employee to claim
their right for royalties. As a result, it is unclear whether and, if so, to what extent our employees may be able to claim
compensation with respect to our future revenue. We may receive less revenue from future products if any of our
employees successfully claim for compensation for their work in developing our intellectual property, which in turn could
impact our future profitability.

Risks Related to Our Industry
We face intense competition in the digital support solution and the self-monitoring of blood glucose market, and as a
result we may be unable to effectively compete in our industry.
In recent years, a number of digitally supported solutions have emerged to manage diabetes and other chronic
conditions. Competitors are developing new technologies rapidly and, in some cases, are also expanding to manage other
chronic conditions. With our first product, Dario, we compete directly and primarily with large pharmaceutical and medical
device companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Asensia (formerly Bayer Diabetes Care), Johnson & Johnson LifeScan,
Roche Diagnostics and Sanofi. The first four of these companies has a combined majority market share of the BGMS
business and strong research and development capacity for next-generation products. Their dominant market position since
the late 1990s, and significant control over the market could significantly limit our ability to introduce Dario or effectively
market and generate sales of the product. We will also compete with numerous second-tier and third-tier competitors.
In addition, we only recently transformed our business to primarily focus on the sale of our digital support
solution, which joins a crowded field of competitors such as Amazon, Apple and Google. Our competitors vary by
intervention (devices, applications, coaching and analytics), by channel (health plan, pharma, provider, employer) and by
condition (including, for example, diabetes, MSK, blood hypertension, and others). Certain of our competitors offer this
integrated approach in varying degrees, including, among others, Hinge Health, Inc., Livongo Health Inc. (acquired by
Teladoc Health Inc.), Omada Health, Inc., Vida Health, Inc., Virta Health Corp., Informed Data Systems Inc. (OneDrop),
Glooko, Inc., and OnDuo LLC.
Competition in the digitally supported solutions market and BGMS market is extremely intense, which can lead
to, among other things, price reductions, longer selling cycles, lower product margins, loss of market share and additional
working capital requirements. To succeed, we must, among other critical matters, gain consumer acceptance for Dario and
potential future devices incorporating our principal technology and offer better strategic concepts, technical solutions,
prices and response time, or a combination of these factors, than those of other competitors. If our competitors offer
significant discounts on certain products, we may need to lower our prices or offer other favorable terms in order to
compete successfully. Moreover, any broad-based changes to our prices and pricing policies could make it difficult to
generate revenues or cause our revenues, if established, to decline. Some of our competitors may bundle certain software
products offering competing applications for diabetes management at low prices for promotional purposes or as a long-
term pricing strategy. These practices could significantly reduce demand for Dario or potential future products or constrain
prices we can charge. Moreover, if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are more effective or
desirable than Dario or the other products that we may develop, we may not convince our customers to use our products.
Any such changes would likely reduce our commercial opportunity and revenue potential and could materially adversely
impact our operating results.
If we fail to respond quickly to technological developments our products may become uncompetitive and obsolete.
The BGMS market and other markets in which we plan to compete experience rapid technological developments,
changes in industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and
improvements. If we are unable to respond quickly to these developments, we may lose competitive position, and Dario or
any other device or technology may become uncompetitive or obsolete, causing revenues and operating results to suffer. In
order to compete, we must develop or acquire new devices and improve our existing device on a schedule that keeps pace
with technological developments and the requirements for products addressing a broad spectrum and designers and
designer expertise in our industries. We must also be able to support a range of changing customer preferences. For
instance, as non-invasive technologies become more readily available in the market, we may be required to adopt our
platform to accommodate the use of non-invasive or continuous blood glucose sensors. We cannot guarantee that we will
be successful in any manner in these efforts.
If third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement for the use of our products and services, our
revenue will be negatively impacted.
In the United States and other jurisdictions such as Germany and England, we expect that our products and
services should generally be available for full or partial patient reimbursement by third-party payers. Our success in
75
Table of Contents
marketing our services depend and will depend in large part on whether U.S. and international government health
administrative authorities, private health insurers and other organizations adequately cover and reimburse customers for the
cost of our products and services.
In the United States, we expect to derive nearly all our sales from sales directly to consumers as well as retail
pharmacy and DME distributors who typically bill various third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private
commercial insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, health plans and other healthcare-related
organizations, to cover all or a portion of the costs and fees associated with our products and services and bill patients for
any applicable deductibles or co-payments. Access to adequate coverage and reimbursement for Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) procedures using our products and services (and our other products and services in development)
by third-party payors is essential to the acceptance of our products by our customers.
Third-party payors, whether foreign or domestic, or governmental or commercial, are developing increasingly
sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs. In addition, in the United States, no uniform policy of coverage and
reimbursement for medical device products and services exists among third-party payors. Therefore, coverage and
reimbursement for medical device products and services can differ significantly from payor to payor. In addition, payors
continually review new technologies for possible coverage and can, without notice, deny coverage for these new products
and procedures. As a result, the coverage determination process is often a time-consuming and costly process that will
require us to provide scientific and clinical support for the use of our products to each payor separately, with no assurance
that coverage and adequate reimbursement will be obtained, or maintained if obtained.
Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some
countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In many international markets, a
product must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. Further, many international
markets have government-managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In
most markets, there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems. If sufficient coverage and
reimbursement are not available for our current or future products, in either the United States or internationally, the demand
for our products and our revenues will be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel
Potential political, economic and military instability in the State of Israel, where our management team and our
research and development facilities are located, may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our operating subsidiary, along with our management team and our research and development facilities, is located
in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect
our business and operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken
place between Israel and its neighboring countries. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of
trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations. The hostilities
involved missile strikes against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, including areas in which our employees and some
of our consultants are located, and negatively affected business conditions in Israel. Our offices, located in Caesarea, Israel,
are within the range of the missiles and rockets that have been fired at Israeli cities and towns from Gaza sporadically since
2006, with escalations in violence (such as the recent escalation in July 2014) during which there were a substantially
larger number of rocket and missile attacks aimed at Israel.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a
series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and
industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following
the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active
duty. Moreover, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, may escalate in the future into a greater regional
conflict. In the months since the initial attack by Hamas, clashes with Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon
and attacks on Israeli-controlled or owned ships in the Red Sea by members of the Houthi Movement in Yemen have taken
place. It is possible that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank, as well
as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities and that such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater
regional conflict.
76
Table of Contents
Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region, or the interruption
or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could make it more difficult for us to raise capital
and adversely affect our operations and results of operations and the market price of our securities. At this time, it is not
possible to predict the intensity or duration of the war, nor can we predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s
economy in general, which may involve additional credit rating agencies downgrading Israel’s credit rating score after
Moody’s downgrading of Israel’s credit rating from A1 to A2 and outlook rating from “stable” to “negative”, and we
continue to monitor the situation closely and examine the potential disruptions that could adversely affect our operations.
Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security
situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of
direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will
be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages
incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Further, majority of the members of our management and employees are located and reside in Israel. Shelter-in-
place and work-from-home measures, government-imposed restrictions on movement and travel and other precautions
taken to address the ongoing conflict may temporarily disrupt our management and employees’ ability to effectively
perform their daily tasks.
Further, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases, more, of annual military
reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of a military conflict,
may be called to active duty. In response to the series of attacks on civilian and military targets in October 2023, there have
been significant call-ups of military reservists. Although many such military reservists have been discharged, they may be
called up again depending on how events unfold. Our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups.
It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business,
operations and financial condition. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business
and operations, and adversely affect our ability to raise additional funds or sell our securities, among other impacts.
Political instability in Israel, originating before October 2023, could also disrupt our operations. Having held five
general elections between 2019 and 2022, government policy is subject to regular disruptive changes. The current
government of Israel has pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response to the foregoing developments,
individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed
changes may negatively impact the business environment in Israel including reluctance of foreign investors to invest or
transact business in Israel as well as increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates,
increased volatility in securities markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions within Israel. Currently, the
proposed judicial reforms been put on hold due to the ongoing focus on the war, while the Supreme Court of Israel ruled
that the judicial reform passed into legislation relating to reasonability is unconstitutional. If such changes to the judicial
system resume and take effect, however, there may be an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our
ability to raise additional funds.
Our operations may be disrupted as a result of the obligation of Israeli citizens to perform military service.
Many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve
duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for reservists who are military officers or who have certain
occupations) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist
activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be military reserve
duty call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups, which may include the call-up of members
of our management. Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Investors may have difficulties enforcing a U.S. judgment, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws, against us, or our executive officers and directors or asserting U.S. securities laws
claims in Israel.
Certain of our directors and officers are not residents of the United States and whose assets may be located outside
the United States. Service of process upon us or our non-U.S. resident directors and officers and enforcement of judgments
obtained in the United States against us or our non-U.S. our directors and executive officers may be difficult to obtain
within the United States. We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may be difficult to assert claims
under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel or obtain a judgment based on the civil liability provisions
of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws against
us or our officers and directors because Israel may not be the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition,
even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim.
If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-
consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case
law in Israel addressing the matters described above. Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel,
which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us or our officers and directors.
Moreover, among other reasons, including but not limited to, fraud or absence of due process, or the existence of a
judgment which is at variance with another judgment that was given in the same matter if a suit in the same matter between
the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel, an Israeli court will not enforce a foreign judgment if it
was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional
cases) or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel.
Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our officers and directors may exert significant influence over our affairs, including the outcome of matters requiring
stockholder approval.
As of the date of this Annual Report, our officers and directors collectively have a beneficial ownership interest of
approximately 15.7% of our Company. As a result, such individuals will have the ability, acting together, to control the
election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale
of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or
preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders and be disadvantageous to our
stockholders with interests different from those individuals. Certain of these individuals also have significant control over
our business, policies and affairs as officers or directors of our company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on
your ability to have any control over our company.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our
market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the price of our common stock
and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock may be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry
analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change
their recommendation regarding our common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about
our competitors, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease
coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which
in turn could cause the price of our common stock or trading volume to decline.
The market price of our common stock may be significantly volatile.
The market price for our common stock may be significantly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response
to factors including the following:
● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
78
Table of Contents
● changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;
● conditions in markets generally;
● changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours; and
● general economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.
In particular, the market prices for securities of mHealth and medical device have historically been particularly
volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock and warrants to fluctuate include:
● any delay in or the results of our clinical trials;
● any delay in manufacturing of our products;
● any delay with the approval for reimbursement for the patients from their insurance companies;
● our failure to comply with regulatory requirements;
● the announcements of clinical trial data, and the investment community’s perception of and reaction to those
data;
● the results of clinical trials conducted by others on products that would compete with ours;
● any delay or failure to receive clearance or approval from regulatory agencies or bodies;
● our inability to commercially launch products or market and generate sales of our products, including Dario;
● failure of Dario or any other products, even if approved for marketing, to achieve any level of commercial
success;
● our failure to obtain patent protection for any of our technologies and products (including those related to
Dario) or the issuance of third-party patents that cover our proposed technologies or products;
● developments or disputes concerning our product’s intellectual property rights;
● our or our competitors’ technological innovations;
● general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our expenditures;
● changes in market valuations of similar companies;
● announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint
ventures, capital commitments, new technologies, or patents;
● future sales of our common stock or other securities, including shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants or otherwise issued pursuant to certain contractual rights;
● period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and
● low or high trading volume of our common stock due to many factors, including the terms of our financing
arrangements.
In addition, if we fail to reach important research, development or commercialization milestone or result by a
publicly expected deadline, even if by only a small margin, there could be a significant impact on the market price of our
common stock and warrants. Additionally, as we approach the announcement of anticipated significant information and
79
Table of Contents
as we announce such information, we expect the price of our common stock and warrants to be particularly volatile, and
negative results would have a substantial negative impact on the price of our common stock and warrants.
In some cases, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have
often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in
substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our business
operations and reputation.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market for our common stock and warrants.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock
by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities
Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, after satisfying a six month holding period: (i) affiliated
stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three month
period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or
the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale and (ii) non-affiliated
stockholders may sell without such limitations, provided we are current in our public reporting obligations. Rule 144 also
permits the sale of securities by non-affiliates that have satisfied a one year holding period without any limitation or
restriction. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale report may have a
material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.
Our compliance with complicated U.S. regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure is expensive.
Moreover, our ability to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations is uncertain given our management’s
relative inexperience with operating U.S. public companies.
As a publicly reporting company, we are faced with expensive and complicated and evolving disclosure,
governance and compliance laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, and, to the extent we complete our anticipated public offering,
the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. New or changing laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying
interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over
time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty
regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.
As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards of a U.S. public company are likely to
continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from
revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Moreover, our executive officers have little experience in operating a U.S. public company, which makes our
ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations uncertain. Our failure to company with all laws, rules and
regulations applicable to U.S. public companies could subject us or our management to regulatory scrutiny or sanction,
which could harm our reputation and stock price.
If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely
affected.
Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or
remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to
establish and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any
failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects,
financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial
reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting
or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be
addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control
over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in
control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock and warrants.
We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may
discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an
interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in
control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may
discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws:
● authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our Board of Directors to
thwart a takeover attempt;
● provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only
by a majority vote of directors then in office;
● provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called by our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
and/or President or other executive officer, our Board of Directors or a super-majority (66 2/3%) of our
stockholders;
● place restrictive requirements (including advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals) on
how special meetings of stockholders may be called by our stockholders;
● do not provide stockholders with the ability to cumulate their votes; and
● provide that our Board of Directors or a super-majority of our stockholders (66 2/3%) may amend our
bylaws.
We are a smaller reporting company and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies
may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are a smaller reporting company (“SRC”) and a non-accelerated filer, which allows us to take advantage of exemptions
from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not SRCs or non-accelerated
filers, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our Annual Report
and our periodic reports and proxy statements and providing only two years of audited financial statements in our Annual
Report and our periodic reports. We will remain an SRC until (a) the aggregate market value of our outstanding common
stock held by non-affiliates as of the last business day our most recently completed second fiscal quarter exceeds $250
million or (b) (1) we have over $100 million in annual revenues and (2) the aggregate market value of our outstanding
common stock held by non-affiliates as of the last business day our most recently completed second fiscal quarter exceeds
$700 million. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on certain or all of
these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading
market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile and may decline.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, your
ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their
common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their
investments. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at
which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We maintain a comprehensive process for identifying, assessing, and managing material risks from cybersecurity
threats as part of our broader risk management system and processes. We obtain input, as appropriate, for our cybersecurity
risk management program on the security industry and threat trends from external experts and internal threat intelligence
team. A team of dedicated privacy, safety, and security professionals oversees cybersecurity risk management and
mitigation, incident prevention, detection, and remediation. Leadership of this team includes professionals with deep
cybersecurity expertise, including our Chief Information Security Officer. Our executive leadership team, along with input
from the above team, are responsible for our overall enterprise risk management system and processes and regularly
consider cybersecurity risks in the context of other material risks to the company.
As part of our cybersecurity risk management system, our incident management team tracks and logs privacy and
security incidents across the Company, our vendors, and other third-party service providers to remediate and resolve any
such incidents. Significant incidents are reviewed regularly by a cross-functional working group to determine whether
further escalation is appropriate. Any incident assessed as potentially being or potentially becoming material is
immediately escalated for further assessment, and then reported to designated members of our senior management. We
consult with outside counsel as appropriate, including on materiality analysis and disclosure matters, and our senior
management makes the final materiality determinations and disclosure and other compliance decisions.
The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for risks and incidents relating to cybersecurity threats,
including compliance with disclosure requirements, cooperation with law enforcement, and related effects on financial and
other risks, and it reports any findings and recommendations, as appropriate, to the full Board for consideration. Senior
management regularly discusses cyber risks and trends and, should they arise, any material incidents with the Audit
Committee.
Our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from
cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide
assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future material incidents. For more
information on our cybersecurity related risks, see Item 1A Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Properties
We do not own any real property. Currently, we maintain offices at 5 Tarshish St., Caesarea Industrial Park,
3088900, Israel. On June 6, 2023, we signed a lease agreement for these facilities for a period of 5 years commencing upon
the completion of adjustments of the office space. We moved into these offices during August 2023. The rental agreement
will be extended automatically for an additional 60 months following expiration of the initial term. The monthly rent and
management services under this lease are approximately $22,400.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are currently not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal
proceeding, that we believe is not ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business or otherwise material to the financial
condition of our business.

Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors
that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit financings may preclude us
from paying dividends.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Readers are advised to review the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information
included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth
elsewhere in this Annual Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements”. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements
contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a leading global DTx company revolutionizing the way people manage their health across the chronic
condition spectrum to live a better and healthier life. Our mission is to transform how affected individuals manage their
health and chronic conditions by empowering our customers to easily manage their conditions and take steps to improve
their overall health. Most chronic conditions are driven by personal behaviors and the actions that are or are not taken. We
believe that changing these behaviors can dramatically improve our customers’ overall health and substantially reduce
unnecessary health spending. However, behavioral change and habit formation are difficult, especially in managing chronic
disease and related conditions. Our digital therapeutics endeavor to produce lasting behavior changes in our customers by
applying a novel combination of AI-driven dynamic personalization and behavioral science at scale. This allows us to
engage and support our customers, and offer them a complete virtual care solution, ideally resulting in improved health
outcomes and reduced total cost of care.
Our principal operating subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd., is an Israeli company (“LabStyle”) with its
headquarters in Caesarea, Israel. We were formed on August 11, 2011, as a Delaware corporation with the name LabStyle
Innovations Corp. On July 28, 2016, we changed our name to DarioHealth Corp. We began our sales in the direct-to-
86
Table of Contents
consumer space, solving first for what we deemed the most difficult problems: how to engage users and support behavior
change to improve clinical outcomes in diabetes. Our most developed AI tools leverage the direct-to-consumer experience
from over 150,000 members to drive superior engagement and outcomes. In early 2020, we broadened our solutions to
include other medical conditions in addition to diabetes, and to serve business customers who seek to improve the health of
their stakeholders. We also subsequently acquired Upright, PsyInnovations, Physimax Technology, and most recently Twill,
to further our platform. Presently, we have deployed solutions for diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes, MSK and
behavioral health, which conditions will also be powered by our AI-driven behavior change platform. We are currently
delivering our solutions to providers, employers, health plans and pharmaceutical companies. We continue to achieve key
benchmarks as we rapidly scale our B2B2C model, including more than 100 total signed contracts as of today. We believe
we have a unique and defensible position in the market thanks to our unique solution origin in consumer markets.
On January 26, 2021, Dario, Labstyle, Upright Technologies Ltd., an Israeli limited company, Vertex C (C.I.)
Fund L.P. (in its capacity as the representative of the Selling Shareholders), and all holders of Upright’s outstanding
securities (the “Selling Shareholders”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Upright Agreement”) pursuant to
which Dario, through Labstyle, acquired all of the outstanding securities of Upright. The agreement was consummated on
February 1, 2021, and Upright now operates as our wholly owned subsidiary. As part of the acquisition, we issued the
Selling Shareholders 1,687,612 shares of our common stock and agreed to assume options to purchase up to 100,193 shares
of our common stock, subject to certain escrow and indemnity provisions contained in the Upright Agreement (in the
aggregate, the “Consideration Shares”). In addition, the shares issued are subject to the terms of a lock-up agreement,
pursuant to which the Selling Shareholders (subject to certain exceptions) have agreed to restrict their ability to transfer
their shares as follows: (i) shares representing 20% of their respective Consideration Shares will be restricted from transfer
for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the closing of the acquisition (the “Closing Date”), (ii)
shares representing 30% of their respective Consideration Shares will be restricted from transfer for a period of two
hundred and seventy (270) days from the Closing Date, (iii) shares representing 30% of their respective Consideration
Shares will be restricted from transfer for a period of three hundred and sixty (360) days from the Closing Date and (iv)
shares representing 20% of their respective Consideration Shares will be restricted from transfer for a period of four
hundred and fifty (450) days from the Closing Date.
We, along with TWILL Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Twill and Bilal Khan, solely in his capacity as the
representatives of Twill’s stockholders and other equity holders, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”), dated February 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). Pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement,
on the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub was merged with and into Twill (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of
Merger Sub ceased and Twill continued as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) we
paid to Twill’s debt holders and equity holders aggregate consideration (“Merger Consideration”) of (A) $10.0 million in
cash, (B) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,000,400 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
our common stock issuable to a trust (the “Trust”) formed for the benefit of certain equity and debt holders of Twill,
issuable in 4 equal tranches, (C) stock options to purchase up to 2,963,459 shares of common stock issued to employees of
Twill as an inducement to their employment with us, issued outside of our equity compensation plans, pursuant to Nasdaq
Rule 5635(c)(4), with an exercise price of $2.55 per share, and (D) a combination of warrants and restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) to acquire up to 1,766,508 shares of common stock issued to certain outgoing board members, consultants and
outgoing officers of Twill (all of such RSUs and warrants being subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders,
pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635), and (iii) the parties to the Merger Agreement consummated the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Merger Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants. As a result of the
Merger, Twill will operate as our wholly owned subsidiary.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a non-waivable 19.99% ownership blocker and the issuance of any shares
of common stock underlying such warrants that are in excess of such amount shall be subject to the approval of our
stockholders. In addition, the Company, the Trust and WhiteHawk Capital Partner LP (the “Beneficiary”), have executed a
Lock Up/Leak Out Agreement (the “Leak Out Agreement”), pursuant to which until such time as the Trust receives
$10,600,000 in aggregate net proceeds (the “Leak Out Period”), (i) the Trust shall only be allowed to sell such Warrant
Shares at a rate of up to 10% of the average daily trading volume of the common stock in a manner which will not
negatively affect the share price, (ii) all such sales shall be conducted pursuant to Rule 144 and (iii) that the Beneficiary
shall not cause the Trust to engage in any short selling of such Warrant Shares during the Leak-Out Period. The Company
has agreed to seek stockholder approval within 135 days following the closing of the Merger to permit the full exercise of
the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Warrant Vote”). In addition, we entered into voting agreements with certain existing
87
Table of Contents
stockholders to vote in favor of the Warrant Vote. We have agreed to call a stockholder meeting each fiscal quarter
thereafter to the extent the Warrant Vote is not approved by the Company’s stockholders.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we also agreed to appoint a new member to our board of
directors, nominated by Twill equity holders and subject to such nominee being acceptable to us, within 90 days following
the closing of the Merger. Such appointment right shall continue until the earlier of 540 days following the closing of the
Merger, or the date which the Trust exercises its third tranche of Pre-Funded Warrants.
In addition, we executed certain consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with Ofer Leidner and
Bilal Khan, each former officers of Twill. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreements, we agreed to retain the
services of Messrs. Leidner and Khan for a period of at least 14 months and 6 months respectively, in exchange for
monthly consulting fees of $35,416 and $35,417, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Leidner
warrants to purchase up to 1,032,946 shares of common stock, of which 717,946 are subject to time vesting and 315,000
are subject to certain performance-based metrics, and to issue to Mr. Khan 350,000 fully vested RSUs which shall be vest
subject to stockholder approval.
Readers are cautioned that, according to our management’s estimates, based on our budget and the initial launch
of our commercial sales, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to continue our activity through 2025 without
raising additional capital. This includes an amount of anticipated inflows from sales of Dario through direct sales in the
United States and through distribution partners. If we are unable to scale up our commercial launch of Dario or meet our
commercial sales targets (or if we are unable to ramp up revenues), and if we are unable to obtain additional capital
resources in the near term, we may be unable to continue activities, absent material alterations in our business plans, and
our business might fail.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Our fiscal year ends December 31.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these
consolidated financial statements requires making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well
as the reported revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and
judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ (perhaps significantly) from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While all the accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to
be critical. Our management believes that the accounting policies which involve more significant judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, include revenue recognition, inventories, liability related
to certain warrants, and accounting for production lines and its related useful life and impairment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under the five-step methodology in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) - ASC 606, which requires us to identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in
the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations identified, and
recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
We derive our revenue principally from:
Consumers revenue
88
Table of Contents
We consider customer and distributers purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, we
consider the promise to transfer tangible products and/or services, each of which are distinct, to be the identified
performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to rebates and
adjustments to determine the net consideration to which we expect to receive. As our standard payment terms are less than
one year, the contracts have no significant financing component. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. Revenue from tangible products is recognized when
control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically
occurs at shipment. The revenues from fixed-price services are recognized ratably over the contract period and the costs
associated with these contracts are recognized as incurred.
Commercial revenue - B2B2C
We provide mobile and web-based digital therapeutics health management programs to employers and health
plans for their employees or covered individuals including live clinical coaching, content, automated journeys, hardware,
and life-style coaching, currently supporting diabetes, prediabetes and obesity, hypertension, behavioral health (BH) and
musculoskeletal health (MSK). At contract inception, we assess the type of services being provided and assess the
performance obligations in the contract. Revenue is recognized either on a per engaged member per month (PEMPM) or a
per employee per month (PEPM) basis. Our contracts consist of a fixed price that is based on the monthly number of
members and clinical programs consumed by each member. The price is determined during contract negotiations with
customers.
Certain of our contracts include client performance guarantees and a portion of the fees in those contracts are
subject to performance-based metrics such as clinical outcomes or minimum member utilization rate. We include in the
transaction price some or all of an amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable
consideration is subsequently resolved. Refund to a customer that results from performance levels that were not met by the
end of the measurement period are adjusted to the transaction price, and therefore estimated at the outset of the
arrangement.
Commercial revenue - Strategic partnerships
The Company has also entered into contracts with a preferred partner and a health plan provider in which the
Company provides data license, development and implementation services.
Inventories
Inventory write-down is measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and net realized value based
upon assumptions about future demand, and is charged to the cost of sales. At the point of the loss recognition, a new,
lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the
restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
If there were to be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or if there were a higher
incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we could be
required to increase our inventory write-downs and our gross margin could be adversely affected. Inventory and supply
chain management remain areas of focus as we balance the need to maintain supply chain flexibility, to help ensure
competitive lead times with the risk of inventory obsolescence.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, total inventory write-downs expenses amounted to $121,000.
Production Lines
Capitalization of Costs. We capitalize direct incremental costs of third-party manufacturers related to the
equipment in our production lines. We cease construction cost capitalization relating to our production lines once they are
ready for its intended use and held available for occupancy. All renovations and betterments that extend the economic
useful lives of assets and/or improve the performance of the production lines are capitalized.
89
Table of Contents
Useful Lives of Assets. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our production
lines for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our construction
of the production lines. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income (loss). Production lines are usually
depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of up to seven years, except any renovations and betterments which are
depreciated over the remaining life of the production lines.
Impairment of production lines. We are required to review our production lines for impairment in accordance with
ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2023 to Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $20,352,000 compared to $27,656,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year
ended December 31, 2022, is due to a decrease in revenues from sales to consumers and our strategic partnerships.
Revenues generated during the year ended December 31, 2023, were derived from the sale of services to our
strategic partners, commercial customers and consumers located mainly in the United States.
Cost of Revenues
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded costs related to revenues in the amount of
$14,368,000 and $18,001,000, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenues was due to the decrease in revenues. Cost of
revenues excluding amortization of acquired technology during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, was
$10,370,000 and $14,012,000, respectively.
Cost of revenues consist mainly of cost of device production, employees’ salaries and related overhead costs,
depreciation of production line and related cost of equipment used in production, amortization of technologies, hosting
costs, shipping and handling costs and inventory write-downs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $5,984,000 (29.4% of revenues) compared to
$9,655,000 (34.9% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, is due to the decrease in
revenues derived from sales through our strategic partnerships. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023,
excluding amortization of acquired technology were $10,370,000 (51.0% of revenues) compared to $14,012,000 (50.7% of
revenues) during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses increased by $599,000 to $20,248,000 for the year ended December 31,
2023, compared to $19,649,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was mainly due to the increase in our
payroll expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our research and development expenses, excluding stock-
based compensation and depreciation, for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $16,367,000 compared to $15,995,000
for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $372,000. This increase is mainly as a result of an increase in salaries
and software development expenses.
Research and development expenses consist mainly of payroll expenses to employees involved in research and
development activities, expenses related to: (i) our solutions including our Dario Smart Diabetes Management Solution,
90
Table of Contents
DarioEngage platform, Dario Move solution and our digital behavioral health solution, (ii) labor contractors and
engineering expenses, (iii) depreciation and maintenance fees related to equipment and software tools used in research and

2023, compared to $30,323,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was mainly due to the decreases in
our digital marketing and payroll related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our sales and marketing
expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, for the year ended December 31, 2023,
were $17,146,000 compared to $23,880,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $6,734,000. This
decrease was due to a decrease in our digital marketing, and payroll related expenses.

offering, trade show expenses, customer support expenses and marketing consultants, marketing expenses and
subcontractors.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by $1,647,000 to $18,140,000 for the year ended December
31, 2023, compared to $16,493,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase in
our stock-based compensation, during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our general and administrative expenses,
excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition costs and depreciation, for the year ended December 31, 2023, were
$8,663,000 compared to $9,803,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $1,140,000. This decrease was
due to a decrease in, insurance, consulting services, and investor relations expenses.
Our general and administrative expenses consist mainly of payroll and stock-based compensation expenses for
management, employees, directors and consultants, legal and accounting fees, patent registration, expenses related to
investor relations, as well as our office rent and related expenses.
Finance expenses, net
Our finance expenses, net, decreased by $2,205,000 to $3,174,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared to $5,379,000 financing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. The changes in our financial expenses
were mainly due to the remeasurement of our long term loan and interest income received.
Financial expenses, net mainly include bank charges, interest expenses, interest income, and foreign currency
translation differences.
Income tax
Income tax expenses were $64,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $4,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2022.
Net loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $59,427,000. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022,
was $62,193,000. The decrease from 2022 was mainly due to the decrease in our operating and financing expenses.
Net operating loss carryforwards
As of December 31, 2023, we and WayForward had a U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $44,870, of which $7,491 were generated from tax years 2011-2017 and can be carried forward and offset
against taxable income, which expires during the years 2031 to 2037.
91
Table of Contents
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) modified the rules regarding
utilization of net operating loss and net operating losses generated subsequent to the TCJA can only be used to offset 80%
of taxable income with an indefinite carryforward period for unused carryforwards (i.e., they should not expire). During
2018 - 2023, we generated additional $37,379,000 of net operating losses carryforwards which are not subject to the annual
limitation described above.
Our Israeli subsidiary, Labstyle, accumulated net operating losses for Israeli income tax purposes as of December
31, 2023, in the amount of approximately $189,653,000. The net operating losses may be carried forward and offset against
taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, it is required that a deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if,
based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax
asset to the amount which is more likely than not to be realized. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance with
respect to our deferred tax asset. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, if an ownership change occurs
with respect to a “loss corporation” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), there are annual limitations on the amount
of the net operating loss and other deductions which are available to us.
The factors described above resulted in net loss attributable to common stockholders of $63,511,000 and
$63,836,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures (“NGFM”) of the Company’s financial
results, including such amounts captioned: “net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization” or “EBITDA,”
and “Non-GAAP Adjusted Loss,” as presented herein below. Importantly, we note the NGFM measures captioned
“EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Adjusted Loss” are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP, and as such, they are not a
substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from, nor as an alternative to, U.S. GAAP and /or the most
directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Such NGFM are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency of information used by us in our
financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. Additionally, we believe these NGFM provide meaningful
information to assist investors, shareholders, and other readers of our consolidated financial statements, in making
comparisons to our historical financial results, and analyzing the underlying financial results of our operations. The NGFM
are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information to
enhance the comparability of results between the current year period and the prior year period.
We believe the NGFM provide useful information by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses, which are not
necessarily indicative of our operating financial results and business outlook. In this regard, the presentation of the NGFM
herein below, is to help the reader of our consolidated financial statements to understand the effects of the non-cash impact
on our (U.S. GAAP) audited statement of operations of the revaluation of the warrants and the expense related to stock-
based compensation, each as discussed herein above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. As of December 31, 2023, The Company has incurred
recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $349,361 as of December 31,
2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company used approximately $30,379 of cash in operations.
Management believes the Company has sufficient funds to support its operation for at least a period of twelve months from
the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company expect to incur future net losses and our
transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of the
Company’s products and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support the cost structure. Until the Company
achieves profitability or generates positive cash flows, it will continue to be dependent on raising additional funds. The
Company intends to fund its future operations through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or
equity securities or a combination of the foregoing. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to
obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the long-term development and commercialization of
its product offerings.
As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $36,797,000 in cash and cash equivalents compared to
$49,357,000 at December 31, 2022.
We have experienced cumulative losses of $349,361,000 from inception (August 11, 2011) through December 31,
2023 and have a stockholders’ equity of $96,389,000 at December 31, 2023. In addition, we have not completed our efforts
to establish a stable recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and expect to continue to generate
losses for the foreseeable future.
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of our
common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, receiving aggregate net proceeds totaling
$244,392,000 and a credit facility of $25,564,000 as of December 31, 2023.
On January 26, 2021, we entered into securities purchase agreements with institutional accredited investors
relating to an offering with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 3,278,688 shares of the Company’s common stock at a
purchase price of $21.35 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $70,000,000. The closing of the offering was
consummated on February 1, 2021. The purchase price per share represents the “Minimum Price” of the Company’s
Common Stock pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) as of the date of execution of each respective securities purchase
93
Table of Contents
agreement. The Company and the investors participating in the offering also executed a registration rights agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares within sixty (60)
days following the final closing of the offering.
On October 22, 2021, we entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC
(“Cowen”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up
to $50,000,000 from time to time through Cowen. Upon entering into the Sales Agreement, we filed a new shelf
registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 12, 2021. During the year
ended December 31, 2023, we sold 408,043 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement for aggregate net
proceeds of approximately $1,614,000.
On February 28, 2022, we entered into securities purchase agreements with institutional accredited investors
relating to a registered direct offering with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 4,674,454 shares of our common stock and
pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 667,559 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $7.49 per
share. The aggregate gross proceeds were approximately $40,000,000.
On June 9, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with OrbiMed Royalty and Credit
Opportunities III, LP (“Orbimed”), as the lender for a five-year senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal
amount of up to $50 million (the “Loan Facility”), of which $25 million was made available on the closing date and up to
$25 million was to be made available on or prior to June 30, 2023, subject to certain revenue requirements.
On May 1, 2023, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, and Supplement thereto (the “LSA”), with our
subsidiary, PsyInnovations, collectively as the borrowers (the “Borrowers”) and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II,
L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P., collectively as the lenders (the “Avenue Lenders”). The LSA provides
for a four-year secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40 million (the “Loan Facility”), of which
$30 million was made available on the closing date (the “Initial Tranche”) and up to $10 million (the “Discretionary
Tranche”) may be made available on the later of July 1, 2023, or the date the Lender approves the issuance of the
Discretionary Tranche. On May 1, 2023, the Borrowers closed on the Initial Tranche, less certain fees and expenses
payable to or on behalf of the Avenue Lenders. As a result of the execution of the LSA and the funding of the Initial
Tranche, we satisfied our prior Credit Agreement we previously executed with OrbiMed, on June 9, 2022, and terminated
the Credit Agreement with Orbimed.
All obligations under the LSA are guaranteed by our wholly owned subsidiary, Labstyle. All obligations under the
LSA, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of our, PsyInnovations’ and the guarantor's
assets. Subject to certain milestones set forth in the LSA, the Borrowers shall make monthly payments to the Avenue
Lenders of the interest at the then effective rate. If the Borrowers fail to meet the milestones set forth in the LSA, the
Borrowers shall make monthly principal installments in advance in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the Loan. The
Borrowers shall repay amounts outstanding under the Loan Facility in full immediately upon an acceleration as a result of
an event of default as set forth in the LSA.
During the term of the Loan Facility, interest payable in cash by the Borrowers shall accrue on any outstanding
balance due under the Loan Facility at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (x) the sum of four one-half percent (4.50%)
plus the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal and (y) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%). During an event
of default, any outstanding amount under the Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 5.00% in excess of the otherwise
applicable rate of interest. The Borrowers will pay certain fees with respect to the Loan Facility, including an upfront
commitment fee, an administration fee and a prepayment premium, as well as certain other fees and expenses of the
Avenue Lenders.
On February 15, 2024, we entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Supplement
(the “Avenue Amendment”) with the Avenue Lenders. Pursuant to the Avenue Amendment, the parties agreed to include
the Merger Sub and Twill as parties to our existing loan facility with the Avenue Lenders. In addition, the Avenue
Amendment provides (i) that we will seek stockholder approval to reprice the warrants issued to the lenders on May 1,
2023 to permit an amendment to the exercise price of such warrants to the “minimum price” as defined by Nasdaq rules as
of the closing of the Twill Agreement and (ii) permit the Avenue Lenders, subject to Nasdaq rules, to convert up to two
million of the principal amount of its loan to us at a conversion price of $4.0001 per share.

The holders of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any such shares if the issuance of such
shares will exceed a non-waivable 19.99% ownership blocker.
On February 15, 2024, we entered into securities purchase agreements (each, a “Series C Purchase Agreement”)
with accredited investors relating to an offering (the “Offering”) and the sale of an aggregate of (i) 17,307 shares of newly
designated Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 4,000 shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock

$1,000 for each share of Preferred Stock. As a result of the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock, the aggregate gross
proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $22,422,000. The closing of the Series C Preferred Stock,
Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock occurred on or before February 21, 2024.
Readers are advised that available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting
in the need for additional funding sooner than expected. Should this occur, we will need to seek additional capital earlier
than anticipated in order to fund (1) further development and, if needed (2) expenses which will be required in order to
expand manufacturing of our products, (3) sales and marketing efforts and (4) general working capital. Such funding may
be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain such funding when needed could create a negative
impact on our stock price or could potentially lead to the failure of our company. This would particularly be the case if we
are unable to commercially distribute our products and services in the jurisdictions and in the timeframes we expect.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the
currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the timelier recognition of losses, with an effective date for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 which delayed the effective
date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (as defined by the SEC) and other non- Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) reporting entities to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within
those fiscal periods. The Company adopted the standard effective as of January 1, 2023, and the adoption of this standard
did not have material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-
20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (subtopic 815-40)” (“ASC470-20”). The new standard
reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for non-bifurcated embedded
conversion features. As a result, convertible instruments will no longer be subject to the cash conversion features model or
to the beneficial conversion features model and be accounted for as a single unit of account as long as no other features
require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives, The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2023, using
the modified retrospective method. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively
adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires companies to apply ASC 606 to recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This
creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805. requires companies to apply ASC
606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business
combination. For the Company, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2022 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company completed its evaluation of ASU 2021-08, which we adopted on January 1,
2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily
through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, it provides new segment disclosure
requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual
periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on
income taxes paid. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with
early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the report of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a
member of Ernst & Young Global, our independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth on pages F-1 through F-
31 of this Annual Report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at December 31, 2023, such disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design
of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As required by the SEC rules and regulations, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of our company;
98
Table of Contents
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or
misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting at December 31, 2023. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on our assessments and
those criteria, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at
December 31, 2023.
Item 9B. Other Information

Executive Officers and Directors
We have entered into employment agreements and granted stock awards to our executive officers as more fully
described in “Executive Compensation” above.
Statement of Policy
All transactions (if any) between us and our officers, directors or five percent stockholders, and respective
affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a
majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to
our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.
On December 28, 2023, we entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)
with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), as amended on January 31, 2024, with respect to the offering of the Series C Preferred
Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, in connection with each closing of the offering, we
agreed to pay Aegis an aggregate cash fee representing 10% of aggregate proceeds raised in the offering (and fees
representing 5% and 1.5% for certain company introduced investors), non-accountable expense allowance representing 3%
of aggregate proceeds raised in the offering (and fees representing 1.5% and none for certain Company introduced
investors). In addition, we will issue to Aegis or its designees warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrant”) to purchase shares
of common stock representing 14.5% of the equivalent shares of Common Stock issuable upon initial conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price equal to the consolidated bid price of the common stock as of the date of such
closing. The Placement Agent Warrant provides for a cashless exercise feature and are exercisable for a period of five years
from the date of closing. We also granted the Placement Agent the right of first refusal, for a twelve (12) month period after
the final closing of the offering, to serve as the Company’s lead or co-placement agent for any proposed private placement
of our securities (equity or debt) that is proposed to be consummated to investors in the United States with the assistance of
a registered broker dealer.
Adam Stern, a member of our Board of Directors, has an interest, and will receive fees due to, Aegis.
On April 3, 2020, we entered into a financial advisory agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., pursuant to which we
agreed to pay Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) certain a fee of up to 3% of any proceeds from sales derived by us through
commercial transactions entered into with parties introduced by Aegis. In addition, on April 3, 2020, we entered into a
Sales Fee Agreement with Aegis, pursuant to which we agreed to pay Aegis a fee of up 4.5% of consideration we may
receive in a business development transaction (including, any joint-venture, partnership, strategic collaboration or
investment, licensing transaction, co-promotion or distribution agreement or other profit or revenue sharing, or similar
business arrangement) from parties introduced by Aegis. To date, we have not paid Aegis any fees as a result of these
agreements. Adam Stern, a member of our Board, has an interest, and will receive fees due to, Aegis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
DARIOHEALTH CORP.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DarioHealth Corp. and its subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to
the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining,
on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relate to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they
relate.

As described in Note 2 and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, a
significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived from agreements with
enterprise business market groups to provide a mobile and web-based digital
therapeutics health management programs, data license and related development
and implementation services. The Company contracts with customers often
include promises to transfer multiple promises to provide goods and services,
which are accounted for separately if they are distinct performance obligations. In
such contracts, the transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance
obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis and revenue is recognized
when control of the distinct performance obligation is transferred.
The accounting for contracts with multiple promises requires the company to
exercise significant judgment in determining revenue recognition for these
contracts and includes: (a) identification and determination of whether products
and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be
accounted for separately based on the terms and conditions of the relevant
agreements, (b) determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct
performance obligation that are not sold separately. (c) the pattern of transferring
control (i.e., timing of when revenue is recognized) for each distinct performance
obligation.
Given these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s
judgments in determining revenue recognition for these customer contracts was
extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
For a sample of customers, we: (1) obtained and read contract source documents,
including master agreements, and other documents that were part of the
agreement and evaluating management's identification of the contract and the
distinct performance obligations based on the terms of the arrangements and the
company's accounting policies, (2) tested management’s identification of

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
incurred operating losses and negative cash-flow from operations since inception.
The Company’s operations are dependent on its ability to raise additional funds.
This dependency will continue until the Company will be able to completely
finance its operations by generating revenue from its products and services.
Management has concluded that, based on its current projections and plans, the
Company will be able to satisfy its liquidity requirements for at least one year
from the date these financial statements were issued.
We identified the assessment of liquidity and the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern as a critical audit matter due to the subjective judgments required
of management to conclude the Company would have sufficient liquidity to
sustain itself for at least a year beyond the date of the issuance of the consolidated
financial statements. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor subjectivity and
judgment to evaluate the audit evidence supporting the liquidity conclusions.
In addressing the matter, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing
the reasonableness of forecasted revenue, operating expenses and sources of cash
used in management’s assessment to determine whether the company has
sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the consolidated
inquiries with

management, comparison of prior period forecasts to actual results and
consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s
forecasts and liquidity. We also performed sensitivity analyses to assess the
impact of changes in the key assumptions included in management's liquidity
forecast models. In addition, we assessed the adequacy of the company’s going

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. DarioHealth Corp. (the “Company” or “DarioHealth”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware and commenced
operations on August 11, 2011.
DarioHealth is a global digital therapeutics (DTx) company delivering personalized evidence-based interventions
that are driven by precision data analytics, software, and personalized coaching, DarioHealth has developed an
approach with the intent to empower individuals to adjust their lifestyle in holistic way.
DarioHealth’s cross-functional team operates at the intersection of life sciences, behavioral science, and software
technology to deliver seamlessly integrated and highly engaging digital therapeutics interventions. Our platform
and suite of solutions deliver personalized and dynamic interventions driven by data analytics and one-on-one
coaching for diabetes, hypertension, weight management, musculoskeletal pain, and behavioral health.
DarioHealth’s digital therapeutic platform has been designed with a ‘user-first’ strategy, focusing on the user’s
needs first and foremost, and user experience and satisfaction. User satisfaction is constantly measured and drives,
all company processes, including our technology design.
The Company has one reporting unit and one operating segment.
b. The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, LabStyle Innovation Ltd. (“LabStyle”), which was incorporated
and commenced operations on September 14, 2011, in Israel. Its principal business activity is to hold the
Company’s intellectual property and to perform research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and other
business activities.
c. The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. As of December 31, 2023, The Company has incurred
recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $349,361 as of
December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company used approximately $30,379 of cash in
operations. Management believes the Company has sufficient funds to support its operation for at least a period of
twelve months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company expect to
incur future net losses and our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful
development and commercialization of the Company’s products and the achievement of a level of revenues
adequate to support the cost structure. Until the Company achieves profitability or generates positive cash flows, it
will continue to be dependent on raising additional funds. The Company intends to fund its future operations
through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities or a combination of
the foregoing. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of
financial resources that are required for the long-term development and commercialization of its product offerings.
d. The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “DRIO”.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles
(“U.S. GAAP”).
a. Use of estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts
reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual
results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements including other accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses and other accounts payable and accrued expenses, and the reported amounts of
revenue, cost of revenues and operational expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars (“$,” “dollar” or “dollars”):
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S dollar.
The Company’s revenues and financing activities are incurred in U.S. dollars. Although a portion of LabStyle
expenses is denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) (mainly cost of personnel), a substantial portion of its
expenses is denominated in dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate is the dollar; thus, the dollar is
the functional currency of the Company. Transactions and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their
original amounts. Monetary accounts denominated in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars
in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement
of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as financial
income or expenses, as appropriate.
c. Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
d. Segment information:
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing
performance. The Company defines the term “chief operating decision maker” to be its Chief Executive Officer.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial information presented on consolidated basis for
purposes of allocating resources and evaluating its financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has
determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.
e. Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of
three months or less at the date of acquisition, to be cash equivalents.

Short-term restricted bank deposits:
Short-term restricted bank deposits are restricted deposits with maturities of up to one year and are pledged in
favor of the bank as a security for the bank guaranties issued to the landlords of the Company’s offices and credit
card payments. The short-term restricted bank deposits are denominated in NIS and USD and bear interest at an
average rate of 5.2% and 0.61% as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The short-term restricted bank
deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had a short-term restricted bank deposit which are used as
collateral for rent and gratuity in the amount of $229 and $113, respectively.
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had short-term restricted bank deposits which are used as
collateral for credit payments in amounts of $63 and $52, respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash balances reported on the balance sheets and the cash,
cash equivalents and short-term restricted bank deposits balances reported in the statements of cash flows:

g. Trade receivables, net:
The Company records trade receivables for amounts invoiced and yet unbilled invoices. The Company’s expected
loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is based upon its assessment of various factors, including
historical experience, the age of the trade receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic
conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect
its ability to collect from customers. The estimated credit loss allowance is recorded as general and administrative
expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2023, and
2022, credit loss allowance was immaterial.
h.Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realized value. Cost is determined on a first in first out (“FIFO”)
basis. Inventory write-downs are provided to cover technological obsolescence, excess inventories and
discontinued products. Inventory write-downs represent the difference between the cost of the inventory and net
realizable value. Inventory write-downs are charged to the cost of revenues when a new lower cost basis is
established. Subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that
newly established cost basis.
Work-in-process is immaterial, given the typically short manufacturing cycle, and therefore is disclosed in
conjunction with raw materials.
Total write-downs during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 amounted to $121 and $88, respectively.

i.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
Computers, and peripheral equipment
Office furniture and equipment
Production lines
Leasehold improvements
j.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
%
15-33
6-15
14-20
Over the shorter of the lease term or
useful economic life
The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and
Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, no
impairment was recorded.
k. Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers,” when
(or as) it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised products or services to its customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company applies the following five
steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3)
determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract,
and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company applied the practical expedient in ASC 606 and did not evaluate payment terms of one year or less
for the existence of a significant financing component.
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single
performance obligation. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the
transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each
performance obligation. The Company uses judgment in determining the SSP for its hardware and services. To
determine SSP, the Company maximizes the use of observable standalone sales and observable data, where
available. In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, the Company may
use alternative methods to estimate the standalone selling price, such as cost plus margin approach.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Consumers revenue
The Company considers customer and distributor purchase orders to be contracts with a customer. For each
contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer tangible products and/or services, each of which are
distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates
whether the price is subject to rebates and adjustments to determine the net consideration to which the Company
expects to receive. Revenue from tangible products is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the
customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. The
revenues from fixed-price services are recognized ratably over the contract period.
Commercial revenue – B2B2C
The Company provides mobile and web-based digital therapeutics health management programs to employers and
health plans for their employees or covered individuals. Such programs include among others, content, automated
journeys, hardware, and lifestyle coaching, currently supporting diabetes, prediabetes and obesity, hypertension,
behavioral health (BH) and musculoskeletal health (MSK). At contract inception, the Company assesses the type
of services being provided and assesses the performance obligations in the contract. These solutions integrate
access to the Company’s web-based platform, and clinical and data services to provide an overall health
management solution. The promises to transfer these goods and services are not separately identifiable and is
considered a single continuous service comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and
have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). These services are consumed as they are received,
and the Company recognizes revenue each month using the variable consideration allocation exception. Revenue
is recognized either on a per engaged member per month (PEMPM) or a per employee per month (PEPM) basis.
Certain of the Company’s contracts include client performance guarantees and a portion of the fees in those
contracts are subject to performance-based metrics such as clinical outcomes or minimum member utilization
rates. The Company includes in the transaction price some or all of an amount of variable consideration only to the
extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Refunds to a customer
that result from performance levels that were not met by the end of the measurement period are adjusted to the
transaction price, and therefore estimated at the outset of the arrangement.
Commercial revenue - Strategic partnerships
The Company has also entered into contracts (Note 6) with a preferred partner and a health plan provider in which
the Company provides data license, development and implementation services.
l. Cost of revenues:
Cost of revenues is comprised of the cost of production, data center costs, shipping and handling inventory,
hosting services, personnel and related overhead costs, depreciation of production line and related equipment
costs, amortization of costs to fulfill a contract and inventory write-downs.

m. Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term deposits, restricted deposits, and trade receivables. For cash and cash equivalents, the
Company is exposed to credit risks in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent that amounts
recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets exceed federally insured limits. The Company places
its cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits with financial institutions with high-quality credit ratings and
has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
For trade receivables, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-payment by customers to the
extent of the amounts recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company's major customer accounted for 66.5% of the Company's accounts
receivable balance.
For the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's major customer accounted for
29.9% and 39.8%, respectively, of the Company's revenue in the period.
n.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). This
guidance prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more
likely than not to be realized.
ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The
first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of
available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax
position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second
step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate
settlement. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded.
o. Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, as incurred.

p. Accounting for stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock
Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards
on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately
expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated
statement of comprehensive loss.
The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight-line
method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires
forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures
differ from those estimates.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing
model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected
stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon historical
volatility of the Company. The expected option term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are
expected to be outstanding and is determined based on the simplified method until sufficient historical exercise
data will support using expected life assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S.
treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable
plans to pay dividends.
q. Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Under this standard,
fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit
price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for
inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of
unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are
inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained
from sources independent from the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based
on the best information available in the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 -
Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the
ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.
Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active
market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 -
Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all
significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 -
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value
measurement.
F-16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and is affected by a wide variety of
factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular
to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are unobservable in the market, the
determination of fair value requires more judgment, and the fair value are categorized as Level 3.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted bank deposits, trade receivables, other
accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, trade payables and other accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The Company's Loan Facility, and
warrants liability were measured at fair value using Level 3 unobservable inputs (see note 8).
r. Warrants:
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an
assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers
whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, and
meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the
Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in
a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as
of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding. Warrants that meet all the criteria
for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do
not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value
on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified
warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are
recognized in “Financial expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
s. Basic and diluted net loss per share:
The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The
two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between shares
of Common Stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all
income for the period had been distributed. The Company's Convertible Preferred shares would be entitled to
dividends that would be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, based on the conversion ratio, assuming
conversion of all Convertible Preferred shares into shares of Common Stock.
The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common and preferred
stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities.
The diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the
period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted
net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of
Common Stock are anti-dilutive.

t.
Severance pay:
Since inception date, all Ltd. employees who are entitled to receive severance pay in accordance with the
applicable law in Israel, have been included under section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Law
(“Section 14”). Under this section, they are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly
salary, made by the employer on their behalf with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with Section 14
release Ltd. from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. Payments under Section 14 are not
recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet.
Severance pay expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $947 and $1,136,
respectively.
The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering certain employees in the U.S. All eligible
employees may elect to contribute up to $22.5 per year (for certain employees over 50 years of age the maximum
contribution is $30 per year), of their annual compensation to the plan through salary deferrals, subject to Internal
Revenue Service limits.
u. Legal and other contingencies:
The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies”. A provision is
recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations,
estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a
particular matter. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal
costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
v. Leases:
Lessee accounting:
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification of that lease at inception based on: (1)
whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to
substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the
Company has a right to direct the use of the asset. The Company elected to not recognize a lease liability or right-
of-use (“ROU”) asset for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company also elected the practical
expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are initially measured at amounts, which
represents the discounted present value of the lease payments over the lease, plus any initial direct costs incurred.
The ROU assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at lease commencement date
based on the discounted present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the
operating leases is generally not determinable; therefore, the Company uses the Incremental Borrowing Rate
(“IBR”) based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease
payments. The Company’s IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate on similar terms and payments and in
economic environments where the leased asset is located.

DARIOHEALTH CORP. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Certain leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in
connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will
exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not
exercise the option. See also Note 9.
w. Business combination and asset acquisitions:
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combination” and allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to
intangible assets.
Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as
incurred.
The Company accounts for a transaction as an asset acquisition when substantially all of the fair value of the gross
assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, or otherwise
does not meet the definition of a business. Asset acquisition-related direct costs are capitalized as part of the asset
or assets acquired.
x. Goodwill:
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net
tangible and intangible assets acquired. Under ASC 350, "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"),
goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test.
ASC 350 allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the
quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment does not result in a more likely than not
indication of impairment, no further impairment testing is required. If the Company elects not to use this option, or
if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying value, then the Company prepares a quantitative analysis to determine whether the carrying value of a
reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit would exceed its estimated
fair value, the Company would have recognized an impairment of goodwill for the amount of this excess.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, no impairment of goodwill has been recorded.

y. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
(i)
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss
methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the timelier recognition
of losses, with an effective date for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2019-10 which delayed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (as defined by the
SEC) and other non- Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting entities to fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. The Company adopted the
standard effective as of January 1, 2023, and the adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
(ii) In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-
20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (subtopic 815-40)” (“ASC470-20”). The new
standard reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for non-
bifurcated embedded conversion features. As a result, convertible instruments will no longer be subject to the cash
conversion features model or to the beneficial conversion features model and be accounted for as a single unit of
account as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives, The Company adopted
ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective method. The prior period consolidated
financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting
standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
(iii) In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires companies to apply ASC 606 to recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination.
This creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805. requires companies
to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers
acquired in a business combination. For the Company, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15
December 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company completed its evaluation of ASU
2021-08, which we adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
z. Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted:
(i)
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments,
primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, it provides new segment
disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The guidance will be effective for the
Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.
(ii) In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as
information on income taxes paid. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning
January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial
statement disclosures.

NOTE 6: - REVENUES (Cont.)
Since the contract consideration includes variable consideration, as of December 31, 2023, the Company excluded the
variable payments from the transaction price since it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
In 2022, the first development plan was approved and completed. The Company concluded that the first development
plan should be accounted for as a separate contract. As such, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company
recognized $4,000 in revenues for the completion of the first development plan.
On December 13, 2022, the second development plan was approved by the parties. The Company concluded that the
second development plan should be accounted for as a separate contract which includes development services
performance obligations, satisfied over time, based on labor hours. As such, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the
Company recognized $1,506 in revenues, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $2,494
in revenues for the completion of the second development plan.
On June 15, 2023, the third development plan (initiated in April 2023), was approved by the parties. The Company
concluded that the third development plan should be accounted for as a separate contract which includes development
services performance obligations, satisfied over time, based on labor hours. The Company determined that this method
under ASC 606 best measures progress towards satisfying the performance obligation and faithfully depicts the
transfer of goods and services. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $2,098 in revenues,
with additional revenues from the third development plan of $602 expected to be recognized by the end of June 2024.
In July 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated strategic agreement with the preferred partner.
Pursuant to the amendment, the parties adjusted certain pre-agreed economic parameters, including revenue share
adjustments and to allow to expedite certain development milestones agreed upon in the parties’ initial agreement.
Agreement with National Health Plan
On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) and into a SOW ("October
SOW") with a national health plan (“Health Plan”). Pursuant to the October SOW, the Company will provide the
Health Plan access to web and app-based platform, for behavioral health. The Company has concluded that the
Contract contained a single performance obligation – to provide access to the Company's platform. The consideration
in the Contract was based entirely on customer usage.
On August 2022, the Company entered into an additional SOW (“August SOW”) with the Health Plan according to
which, the Company will provide implementation service and shall develop additional features to be included in the
platform.
The Company concluded that the August SOW should be accounted for as a separate contract. The Company has
concluded that the August SOW contained two performance obligations as follows:
(i)
(ii)
Digital Behavioral Health Navigation Platform Implementation. This performance obligation includes
configuration and implementation of the platform.
Enhancements to the Digital Behavioral Health Navigation Platform. This performance obligation includes
adding additional features and capabilities to the Platform.

NOTE 7:- DEBT
Loan Facility
On May 1, 2023, the Company refinanced its existing $25,000 credit facility with a new $30,000 credit facility in the
LSA by and between Borrowers and the Avenue Lenders. The LSA provides for a four-year secured credit facility in
an aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000, of which $30,000 was made available on the closing date and up to
$10,000 may be made available on the later of July 1, 2023, or the date the Avenue Lenders approve the issuance of
the Discretionary Tranche. On May 1, 2023, the Borrowers closed on the Initial Tranche, less certain fees and expenses
payable to or on behalf of the Avenue Lenders.
During the term of the Avenue Loan Facility, interest payable in cash by the Borrowers shall accrue on any outstanding
balance due under the Avenue Loan Facility at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (x) the sum of four one-half
percent (4.50%) plus the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal and (y) twelve and one-half percent
(12.50%). During an event of default, any outstanding amount under the Avenue Loan Facility will bear interest at a
rate of 5.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest. The Borrowers will pay certain fees with respect to
the Avenue Loan Facility, including an upfront commitment fee, an administration fee, and a prepayment premium, as
well as certain other fees and expenses of the Avenue Lenders. On the closing date, and with respect to the Initial
Tranche only, the Company agreed to issue for each Avenue Lender a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to
292,442 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $3.334 per share (also see note 20f), which
shall have a term of five years from the issuance date. The Warrant contains customary share adjustment provisions, as
well as adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the exercise price in the event of
a bona fide equity raise prior to September 30, 2023, at a price less than the then current exercise price. As of
December 31, 2023, the customary share adjustment provisions and adjustments related to a bona fide equity raise
prior to September 30, 2023, remain unchanged.
The Avenue Lenders have the right, at any time while the Avenue Loan Facility is outstanding, to convert an amount
of up to $2,000 of the principal amount of the outstanding Avenue Loan Facility into Borrower’s unrestricted shares of
the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 120% of the then effective exercise price of the Avenue
Warrant(Also see note 20f). On the closing date, and with respect to the Initial Tranche only, the Company agreed to
issue each Avenue Lender the Avenue Warrant to purchase up to 292,442 shares of the Company’s common stock, at
an exercise price of $3.334 per share, which shall have a term of five years from the issuance date.
The Company concluded that Avenue Loan and the Avenue Warrants are freestanding financial instruments since these
instruments are legally detachable and separately exercisable. The Company has concluded that the warrants meet all
the conditions to be classified as equity pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. In addition, the Company elected to
account for the Avenue Loan under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.” Under
the fair value option, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings except for fair value adjustments related to
instrument specific credit risk, which are recorded as other comprehensive income or loss. As such, the proceeds were
first allocated to the Loan at fair value in the amount of $28,215 and the remaining amount of $1,389 was allocated to
the warrants.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $187 of remeasurement income related
to the Initial Commitment Amount, which was included as part of financial expenses in the Company's statements
comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any instrument
specific credit risk fair value adjustment.

Warrant Liability
On June 9, 2022 (the closing date of the Orbimed Loan), the Company agreed to issue Orbimed a warrant (the
“Orbimed Warrant”) to purchase up to 226,586 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $5.79
per share, which shall have a term of 7 years from the issuance date. The Orbimed Warrant contains customary share
adjustment provisions, as well as weighted average price protection in certain circumstances but in no event will the
exercise price of the Warrant be adjusted to a price less than $4.00 per share.
The Company has concluded that the warrants are not indexed to the Company's own stock and should be recorded as
a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

NOTE 8:- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted bank deposits, trade receivables, other
accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, trade payables and other accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The Company's Avenue Loan Facility
(as defined herein), and warrant liability were measured at fair value using Level 3 unobservable inputs until the
payoff date of May 1, 2023. Subsequently, a new loan agreement (Note 7) was obtained, and both the new loan and the
warrant liability were measured at fair value.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and between the
Company, as borrower, and OrbiMed Royalty and Credit Opportunities III, LP, as the lender (the “Orbimed Lender”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$50,000 (the “Orbimed Loan”), of which $25,000 was made available on the closing date (the “Initial Commitment
Amount”) and up to $25,000 was available on or prior to June 30, 2023, subject to certain revenue requirements (the
“Delayed Draw Commitment Amount”). On June 9, 2022, the Company closed on the Initial Commitment Amount,
less certain fees and expenses payable to or on behalf of the Orbimed Lender. The company did not draw the Delayed
Draw Commitment Amount.

NOTE 8:- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Cont.)
On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, and Supplement thereto (the “LSA”), by
and between the Company and its subsidiary PsyInnovations Inc. (“PsyInnovations”), collectively as the borrowers
(the “Borrowers”) and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P.,
collectively as the lenders (the “Avenue Lenders”) (Note 6). Upon the initial closing of the LSA, the Company repaid
the Orbimed Loan to the Orbimed Lender. The LSA provides for a four-year secured credit facility in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $40,000 (the “Avenue Loan Facility”), of which $30,000 was made available on the closing
date (the “Initial Tranche”) and up to $10,000 (the “Discretionary Tranche”) may be made available on the later of July
1, 2023, or the date the Avenue Lenders approve the issuance of the Discretionary Tranche. On May 1, 2023, the
Borrowers closed on the Initial Tranche, less certain fees and expenses payable to or on behalf of the Avenue Lenders
The fair value of the Avenue Loan Facility is recognized in connection with the Company’s LSA with respect to the
Initial Commitment Amount only (Note 7). The fair value of the Avenue Loan Facility was determined based on
significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value
hierarchy. The fair value of the Avenue Loan Facility, which is reported within non-current liabilities (Maturity Date -
May 1, 2027) on the consolidated balance sheets, is estimated by the Company at each reporting date based on
significant inputs that are generally determined based on relative value analyses.
The Avenue Loan Facility incorporates comparisons to instruments with similar covenants, collateral, and risk profiles
and was obtained using a discounted cash flow technique. On the date of Avenue Loan Facility origination, or May 1,
2023, the discount rate was arrived at by calibrating the loan amount of $30 million with the fair value of the warrants
of $1,413 and the loan terms interest rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of four and one-half percent (4.50%) plus
the Prime Rate, and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%). During an event of default, any outstanding amount
under the Avenue Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 5.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of
interest. The fair value of the Avenue Loan Facility, as of December 31, 2023, was estimated using a discount rate of
19% which reflects the internal rate of return of the Avenue Loan Facility at closing, as of May 1, 2023. For the year
ended December 31, 2023, the change in the fair value of the loan was recorded in earnings since the Company
concluded that those were not related to instrument-specific credit risk was required.
Warrant Liability
The fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in connection with the Company’s Credit Agreement with the
Orbimed Lender and with respect to the Initial Commitment Amount only (Note 8). The fair value of the warrant
liability was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3
measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the warrant liability, which is reported within non-
current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, is estimated by the Company based on the Monte-Carlo
simulation valuation technique, in order to predict the probability of different outcomes that rely on repeated random
variables.
The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation technique, with the
following significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

NOTE 13:- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings. The Company reviews the status of each
matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is
considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated
loss.
Royalties
The company has a liability to pay future royalties to the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) for participated in
programs sponsored by the Israeli government for the support of research and development activities. The Company is
obligated to pay royalties to the IIA, amounting to 3% of the sales of the products and other related revenues (based on
the US dollar) generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received. Royalty payment obligations also bear
interest at the LIBOR rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the
absence of such sales, no payment is required.
In connection with specific research and development activities, Physimax, prior to its acquisition by the Company,
received $1,011 of participation payments from the IIA. The Company’s total commitment for royalties payable with
respect to future sales, based on IIA participations received, net of royalties accrued or paid, totaled $932 as of
December 31, 2023.
During the Year ended December 31,2023 and December 31, 2022 the company recorded IIA royalties related to the
acquisition of Physimax Technology in amount of $1 and $120, respectively.
NOTE 14:- LONG-LIVED ASSETS
As of December 31, 2023, substantially all of the Company long live assets are located in Israel.
NOTE 15:- TAXES ON INCOME
The Company and its subsidiaries are separately taxed under the domestic tax laws of the country of incorporation of
each entity.
Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA makes
broad and complex changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) that may impact the Company’s
provision for income taxes. The changes include, but are not limited to:
● Decreasing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31,
2017 (“Rate Reduction”);
● The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax; and
● Taxation of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by foreign subsidiaries beginning after
December 31, 2017. The GILTI tax imposes a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible
assets of foreign corporations.
Net Operating Losses- Before the TCJA, taxable losses generated in the U.S. were able to be carried back for two
years or carried forward for 20 years to offset prior/future year taxable income. TCJA changes the rule, and allows
losses generated after 2017 (i.e. starting in 2018) to be carried forward indefinitely, but only to offset 80% of future
year income. Carryback losses are no longer allowed.

NOTE 15:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
(CARES) in March 2020. The CARES Act changed the treatment of net operating losses (“NOLS”) generated in tax
years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Losses generated in these years are able to be carried backward for 5 years, and carried
forward indefinitely, without the 80% limitation.
Tax rates applicable to Labstyle and Upright:
The Corporate tax rate in Israel in 2022 and 2023 was 23%.
Net operating loss carryforward:
Labstyle has accumulated net operating losses for Israeli income tax purposes as of December 31, 2023, in the amount
of approximately $189,653. The net operating losses may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the
future for an indefinite period.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company and WayForward had a U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $36,786 and $8,084, of which $7,120 and $371, respectively, were generated from tax years 2011-2017
and can be carried forward and offset against taxable income and that expires during the years 2031 to 2037. Under
Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC, utilization of the U.S. loss carryforward may be subject to substantial annual
limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitations
may result in the expiration of losses before utilization. Since the Company has not yet utilized the losses to offset
income, no study has been performed to assess the potential limitations, but when relevant, a study will be performed.
The remaining NOLs of the Company and WayForward are approximately $29,666 and $7,713, were generated in
years 2018-2022, and are subject to the TCJA, which modified the rules regarding utilization of NOLs. NOLs
generated after December 31, 2017, can only be used to offset 80% of taxable income with an indefinite carryforward
period for unused carryforwards (i.e., they should not expire). Utilization of the federal and state net operating losses
and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to an additional ownership change. The annual
limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization and in the event, the
Company has a change of ownership, utilization of the carryforwards could be restricted.
As discussed above, under the CARES Act, the losses from 2018-2023 are excluded from the limitation and can be
carried forward indefinitely to offset 100% of future net income.

The deferred tax balances included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, are calculated
according to the tax rates that were in effect as of the reporting date and do not take into account the potential effects
of the changes in the tax rate.
The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2023, was an increase of $5,798 and
is mainly relates to increase in deferred taxes on net operating loss for which a full valuation allowance was recorded.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carryforward
are deductible. Management considers the projected taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this
assessment. In consideration of the Company’s accumulated losses and the uncertainty of its ability to utilize its
deferred tax assets in the future, management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will
not realize all of its deferred tax assets and accordingly recorded a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 16:- STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Cont.)
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The assumptions used are determined as follows:
Volatility. The expected volatility was derived from the historical volatilities of the Company’s stock price over a
period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be
outstanding. When establishing the expected term assumption, the Company utilizes historical data.
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with terms similar
to the expected term on the options.
Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash
dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, it used an expected dividend yield of zero.
The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the options granted to employees,
non-employees and directors in the period presented:

“Company”), and the compensation paid therefor:
1. Confidentiality.
Except as the Company may otherwise consent in writing, the undersigned agrees to keep confidential and
not disclose or make any use of, except for the benefit of the Company, at any time either during or subsequent to
the term of the undersigned engagement with the Company, any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary
information of the Company, including without limitation knowledge, data, or other information relating to
products, processes, know-how, techniques, designs, formulae, test data, costs, customer lists, employees, business
plans, marketing plans and strategies, pricing, or other subject matter pertaining to any past, existing or
contemplated business of the Company or any of its employees, clients, customers, consultants, agents, licensees,
or affiliates, which the undersigned may produce, obtain or otherwise acquire during the course of or in
connection with the undersigned service (collectively, “Company Confidential Information”) or otherwise
relating to the business, products, software, technologies, techniques, processes, services, or research and
development of the Company. The undersigned further agree not to deliver, reproduce, or in any way allow any
Company Confidential Information or any documentation relating thereto to be delivered or used by any third
parties without specific direction or consent of the Company.
The foregoing shall not prevent the disclosure of information that does not comprise proprietary

In the event of termination of the undersigned’s engagement with the Company for any reason whatsoever,
the undersigned agrees to promptly surrender and deliver to the Company all copies of records, materials,
equipment, drawings, documents, and data of any nature pertaining to Company or obtained in connection with

document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement is

allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).
2. Assignment of Inventions.
As used in this Agreement, “Invention” shall include but not be limited to ideas, improvements, designs,

The undersigned hereby assigns and transfers to the Company, its successors and assigns, its entire right,
title, and interest in and to all Inventions, insofar as any such Invention, by operation of law, may not be

work right, and whether or not used by the Company, which are reduced to practice, made or conceived by the
undersigned (solely or jointly with others) during the period of and in connection with the undersigned’s service
with the Company or with the use of the Company’s resources (including Company’s Confidential Information).
The undersigned agrees that all such Inventions shall belong exclusively to the Company and that the undersigned
does not and shall not have any right to royalties or other additional payment from the Company with regard to the
assigned Inventions.
3. Assignment and Execution of Documents.

undersigned’s service the Company in every reasonable way, to obtain for its own benefit patents, trademarks,
copyrights, mask work rights or other proprietary rights for Inventions in any and all countries. The undersigned

exercise all rights, title and interest in such patents, trademarks copyrights, and mask work rights, including
executing, acknowledging, and/or delivering to the Company upon request and at its expense, applications.
In the event the Company is unable to secure the undersigned’s signature on any document needed to
apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to an Invention, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the
undersigned’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on the undersigned’s behalf to execute, verify and file any
such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution thereon with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by the undersigned.
If, in the course of the undersigned’s engagement with the Company, the undersigned incorporates a
preexisting work into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a
nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple

externally, sell copies of, and prepare derivative works based upon such preexisting works, and authorize or
sublicense others from time to time to do any or all of the foregoing . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
undersigned agrees that: (i) the undersigned will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, preexisting work in

Salary and Additional Compensation; Insurance
(a) Salary. The Company shall pay to the Employee as compensation for the employment services an aggregate
10.
monthly base salary in the amount set forth in Exhibit A (the “Base Salary”). In addition, since the Employee may, from
time to time, work overtime hours and since the Company cannot keep specific track of all of the Employee’s overtime

paid as special supplementary monthly compensation in consideration for the Employee’s non-competition undertakings and
obligations set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Special Non-Competition Monthly Compensation”). The Employee

consideration to any prejudice he may suffer due to his non-competition undertakings and obligations set forth in Exhibit B
hereto, including but not limited to restriction of his freedom of employment.

Arrangement.

one half of a percent) of the Salary and 7.5% (seven percent and one half of a percent) of the Salary, respectively. All of the
Employee’s aforementioned contributions shall be transferred to the above referred to plans and funds by the Company by
deducting such amounts from each monthly Salary payment. Any tax results for payments made for amounts greater than the

Additional Benefits
12.
Expenses. The Company will reimburse the Employee for traveling expenses in Exhibit A.

“Proprietary Information” means confidential and proprietary information concerning the business and financial
activities of the Company, including, without limitation, patents, patent applications, trademarks, copyrights and
other intellectual property, and information relating to the same, technologies and products (actual or planned),
know how, inventions, research and development activities, inventions, trade secrets and industrial secrets, and also
confidential commercial information such as investments, investors, employees, customers, suppliers, marketing
plans, etc., all the above - whether documentary, written, oral or computer generated. Proprietary Information shall
also include information of the same nature which the Company may obtain or receive from third parties.
Proprietary Information shall be deemed to include any and all proprietary information disclosed by or on behalf of
the Company and irrespective of form but excluding information that (i) was known to Employee prior to
Employee’s association with the Company, as evidenced by written records; (ii) is or shall become part of the public
knowledge except as a result of the breach of the Agreement or this Exhibit by Employee; (iii) reflects general skills
and experience; or (iv) reflects information and data generally known in the industries or trades in which the
Company operates.
Employee recognizes that the Company received and will receive confidential or proprietary information from third
parties, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it
only for certain limited purposes. In connection with such duties, such information shall be deemed Proprietary
Information hereunder, mutatis mutandis.
Employee agrees that all Proprietary Information, and patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property
and ownership rights in connection therewith shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns. At all times,
both during the employment relationship and after the termination of the engagement between the parties, Employee
will keep in confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and will not use or disclose any Proprietary
Information or anything relating to it without the written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the
ordinary course of performing Employee’s duties under the Agreement.
6. Upon termination of Employee’s engagement with the Company, Employee will promptly deliver to the Company
all documents and materials of any nature pertaining
to Employee’s engagement with the Company, and will not take with him any documents or materials or copies
thereof containing any Proprietary Information.
7.
Employee’s undertakings set forth in Section 1 through Section 6 shall remain in full force and effect after
termination of the Agreement or any renewal thereof.
Disclosure and Assignment of Inventions
8.
9.
“Inventions” means any and all inventions, improvements, designs, concepts, techniques, methods, systems,
processes, know how, computer software programs, databases, mask works and trade secrets, whether or not
patentable, copyrightable or protectable as trade secrets; “Company Inventions” means any Inventions that are
made or conceived or first reduced to practice or created by Employee, whether alone or jointly with others, during
the period of Employee’s engagement with the Company, and which are: (i) developed using equipment, supplies,
facilities or Proprietary Information of the Company, (ii) result from work performed by Employee for the
Company, or (iii) related to the field of business of the Company, or to current or anticipated research and
development.
Employee hereby confirms that all rights that he may have had at any time in any and all Company’s Inventions, are
and have been from inception in the sole ownership of the Company, including during the process of its
incorporation. If ever any doubt shall arise as to the Company’s rights or title in any Invention and it shall be
asserted that the Employee, allegedly, is the owner of any such rights or title, then Employee hereby irrevocably
transfer and assign in whole to the Company without any further royalty or payment any and all rights, title and
interest in any and all Inventions. Employee has listed below in this Section 9 a complete list of all Inventions to
which he claim ownerships (the “Prior Inventions”) and that he desires to remove from the operation of this
Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement,
Employee represents that he has no such Inventions at the time of signing this Agreements. The Prior Inventions, if
any, patented or unpatented, are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. If, in the course of employment with
the Company, Employee incorporates a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company
is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights
to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees that he will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior
Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent. Employee hereby represents
and undertakes that none of his previous employers or any entity with whom he was engaged, has any rights in the
Inventions or Prior Inventions and such employment with the Company will not grant any of them any right in the
results of the Employee’s work.
Prior Inventions: [fill-in, if any.]
None.
10. Employee undertakes and covenants he will promptly disclose in confidence to the Company all Inventions deemed
as Company Inventions. The Employee agrees and undertakes not to disclose to the Company any confidential
information of any third party and, in the framework of his employment by the Company, not to make any use of
any intellectual property rights of any third party.
11. Employee hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company all worldwide patents, patent applications,
copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in any Company Invention, and any and
all moral rights that he may have in or with respect to any Company Invention. For the removal of any doubt, it is
hereby
clarified that the provisions concerning assignment of Inventions contained in Section 8 and this Section 11 will
apply also to any “Service Inventions” as defined in the Israeli Patent Law, 1967 (the “Patent Law”). However, in
no event will such Service Invention become the property of the Employee and the provisions contained in Section
132(b) of the Patent Law shall not apply unless the Company provides in writing otherwise. The Employee will not
be entitled to royalties or other payment with regard to any Prior Inventions, Company Inventions, Service
Inventions or any of the intellectual property rights set forth above, including any commercialization of such Prior
Inventions, Company Inventions, Service Inventions or other intellectual property rights. The Employee irrevocably
confirms that the consideration explicitly set forth in the employment agreement is in lieu of any rights for
compensation that may arise in connection with the Inventions under applicable law and the employee hereby
expressly and irrevocably confirms that the provisions contained in Section 134 of the Patent Law shall not apply
and he waives any right to claim royalties or other consideration with respect to any Invention.
12. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to obtain for the Company
and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other legal protections for the Company Inventions in any
and all countries. Employee will execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request for use in
obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. Such
obligation shall continue beyond the termination of Employee’s engagement with the Company. Employee hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and
attorney in fact, coupled with an interest to act for and on Employee’s behalf and in Employee’s stead to execute
and file any document needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, any
applications regarding same or any other right or protection relating to any Proprietary Information (including
Company Inventions), and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or any other right or protection relating to any Proprietary Information
(including Company Inventions), with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee himself.
Non-Competition
13.
In consideration of Employee’s terms of employment hereunder, which include special compensation for his
undertakings under this Section 13 and the following Section 14, and in order to enable the Company to effectively
protect its Proprietary Information, Employee agrees and undertakes that he will not, so long as the Agreement is in
effect and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever,
directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by, or
have any connection with any business or venture that is engaged in any activities competing with the activities of
the Company. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Salary and social benefits to which the Employee
is or shall be entitled to, if any, as set forth in the Agreement, is set to a level which reflects adequate compensation
sufficient to reimburse prejudice, if any, including but not limited to any of Employee’s legitimate rights and
interests. Employee further warrants and represents that the Special Non-Competition Monthly Compensation (as
defined in the Agreement) constitutes a real, appropriate and full consideration to any prejudice Employee may
suffer due to his non-competition undertakings and obligations set forth in this Exhibit, including but not limited to
restriction of his freedom of employment.
14. Employee agrees and undertakes that during the employment relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months
following termination of this engagement for whatever reason, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, including
personally or in any business
in which Employee may be an officer, director or shareholder, solicit for employment any person who is employed
by the Company, or any person retained by the Company as a consultant, advisor or the like who is subject to an
undertaking towards the Company to refrain from engagement in activities competing with the activities of the
Company (for purposes hereof, a “Consultant”), or was retained as an employee or a Consultant during the six
months preceding termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.
Reasonableness of Protective Covenants
15.
Insofar as the protective covenants set forth in this Exhibit are concerned, Employee specifically acknowledges,
stipulates and agrees as follows: (i) the protective covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill,
property and Proprietary Information of the Company, and the operations and business of the Company; and (ii) the
time duration of the protective covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill and the operations and
business of Company, and does not impose a greater restrain than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other
business interests of the Company. Nevertheless, if any of the restrictions set forth in this Exhibit is found by a court
having jurisdiction to be unreasonable or overly-broad as to geographic area, scope or time or to be otherwise
unenforceable, the parties hereto intend for the restrictions set forth in this Exhibit to be reformed, modified and
redefined by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by such court, to be fully
enforced.
Remedies for Breach
16. Employee acknowledges that the legal remedies for breach of the provisions of this Exhibit may be found
inadequate and therefore agrees that, in addition to all of the remedies available to Company in the event of a breach
or a threatened breach of any of such provisions, the Company may also, in addition to any other remedies which
may be available under applicable law, obtain temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions against any and all
such actions.
Intent of Parties
17. Employee recognizes and agrees: (i) that this Exhibit is necessary and essential to protect the business of Company
and to realize and derive all the benefits, rights and expectations of conducting Company’s business; (ii) that the
area and duration of the protective covenants contained herein are in all things reasonable; and (iii) that good and
valuable consideration exists under the Agreement, for Employee’s agreement to be bound by the provisions of this
Exhibit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Employee has signed this Agreement as of the date first hereinabove set forth.

Exhibit 97.1
DARIOHEALTH CORP. (the “Company”)
CLAWBACK POLICY
Effective as of October 30, 2023
Background
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces
the Company’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The Board has therefore adopted this policy,
which provides for the recoupment (or clawback) of certain executive compensation in the event of an accounting
restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal
securities laws of the United States (the “Policy”). This Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the
Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5608.
Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation
Committee”). Any determinations made by the Board shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.
Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Board may authorize and empower any officer or employee of
the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy
(other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).
Covered Executives
This Policy applies to the Company’s current and former executive officers, as determined by the Board in
accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the Nasdaq (“Covered
Executives”).
Recoupment; Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the
Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Board
will require prompt reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess Incentive Compensation (as defined below)
received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on
which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. For the sake of clarity, recoupment is
required in the event of any restatement that either: (a) corrects an error in previously issued financial statements
that is material to the previously issued financial statements; or (b) corrects an error not material to previously
issued financial statements, but that would result in a material misstatement if (i) the error was left uncorrected in
the then current period; or (ii) the error correction was recognized in the then current period. The Company’s
obligation to recover
1
erroneously awarded compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed. For
purposes of determining the relevant recovery period, the date that the Company is required to prepare an
accounting restatement as described above is the earlier to occur of: (A) the date the Board, a committee of the
Board, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required,
concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an accounting
restatement as described above; or (B) the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the
Company to prepare an accounting restatement as described above. In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5608(e), this
Policy is applicable to Incentive Compensation received on or after October 2, 2023.
Incentive Compensation
For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive Compensation” means any of the following, provided that such
compensation is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting
measure affected by the restated financial statements:
● Annual bonuses and other short- and long-term cash incentives.
● Stock options.
● Stock appreciation rights.
● Restricted stock.
● Restricted stock units.
● Performance shares.
● Performance units.
Financial reporting measures are measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting
principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in
part from such measures. Stock price and total shareholder return are also financial reporting measures. A
financial reporting measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s financial reporting measures may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
● Revenues.
● Net income.
● Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
● Funds from operations.
● Liquidity measures such as working capital, operating cash flow or Free Cash Flow.
This Policy applies to all Incentive Compensation received by a Covered Person:
● After beginning service as an executive officer;
● Who served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive
Compensation;
● While the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities
association; and
● During the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to
prepare an accounting restatement as described in this Policy. In addition to these last three completed
fiscal years, this Policy applies to any transition period (that results from a
2
change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years.
However, a transition period between the last day of the Company’s previous fiscal year end and the first
day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine to 12 months would be deemed a completed
fiscal year.
Incentive Compensation is deemed received in the Company’s fiscal period during which the financial reporting
measure specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive
Compensation occurs after the end of that period.
Excess Incentive Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery
The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the Incentive Compensation paid to the Covered Executive
based on the erroneous data over the Incentive Compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive
had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Board, and without regard to any taxes paid by or
withheld from the Covered Executive. If the Board cannot determine the amount of excess Incentive
Compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement,
then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement. For
Incentive Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously
awarded compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an accounting
restatement, the amount will be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the
stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive Compensation was received. In such case, the
Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such
documentation to Nasdaq.
Method of Recoupment
The Board will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping Incentive Compensation hereunder
which may include, without limitation:
● Requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive Compensation previously paid;
● Seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other
disposition of any equity-based awards;
● Offsetting the recouped amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered
Executive in accordance with applicable law;
● Cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or
● Taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Board.
No Indemnification
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any Incentive Compensation
recovered under this Policy or from any consequence arising therefrom.

Interpretation
The Board is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate
or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is
consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 and any applicable rules or
standards adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or Nasdaq.
Effective Date
This Policy shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and shall apply to
Incentive Compensation that is approved, awarded or granted to Covered Executives on or after that date.
Amendment; Termination
The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems
necessary to reflect regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D of the
Exchange Act and to comply with any rules or standards adopted by Nasdaq. The Board may terminate this Policy
at any time.
Other Recoupment Rights
The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Board may require that any
employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement entered into or amended on or after the
Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Executive to agree to
abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of: (a)
any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any
similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement or similar agreement and any other legal
remedies available to the Company, including termination of employment or institution of legal proceedings; and
(b) any statutory recoupment requirement, including Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022. For the
avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid to the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022
shall be considered (and may be credited) in determining any amounts recovered under this Policy.
Impracticability
The Board shall recover any excess Incentive Compensation in accordance with this Policy unless such recovery
would be impracticable, as determined in accordance with Rule 10D-1(b)(1)(iv) under the Exchange Act and the
listing standards of Nasdaq. In order for the Company to determine that recovery would be impracticable, the
Company’s Compensation Committee must conclude the following:
a) The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be
recovered after making a reasonable attempt to recover such Incentive Compensation. Note that the
attempt(s) to recover must be documented by the Company and such documentation provided to Nasdaq;
b) Recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022. Note
that the Company must obtain a legal opinion of home country counsel that such
4
recovery would result in a violation of local law and provide such opinion to Nasdaq; or
c) Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan under which benefits are broadly
available to Company employees to fail to meet the requirements for qualified pension, profit-sharing and
stock bonus plans under Section 401(a)(13) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or the minimum vesting
standards under Section 411(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs,
executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
Exhibit Filing
A copy of this Policy shall be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.
