Findings highlight the role of continuous behavioral support in improving focus, productivity and day-to-day functioning – key priorities for employers and health plans Statistically significant improvements in workplace functioning highlight the potential economic value of Dario's digital health solutions for payers NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) (the "Company", "DarioHealth" or "Dario"), a leader in global digital health, today announced the publication of new peer-reviewed research in JMIR Formative Research demonstrating meaningful improvements in workplace functioning among participants using Dario's digital behavioral health program.

This highlights the need for scalable solutions like Dario that help employees manage health challenges while maintaining daily functioning at work. "Employers are increasingly focused on solutions that can deliver measurable outcomes at scale," said Yifat Hershcovitz, PhD, VP Clinical & Sci...
