Dario Demonstrates Improved Workplace Function and Productivity Outcomes Through Digital Behavioral Health Program: Real-World Study Published in JMIR Formative Research
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.
The study, titled Enhancing Workplace Outcomes Through Digital Behavioral Health Programs: Retrospective Real–World Study, demonstrated statistically significant improvements in workplace functioning among users of Dario's behavioral health solutions. Among 1,254 users who reported concentration difficulties at baseline, significant improvements were observed within the first six weeks, with even greater gains by weeks 6 to 10. Comparable improvements were observed for procrastination (n=1,004) and mistakes at work (n=167). These measures – focus, task completion and accuracy – are established contributors to absenteeism and presenteeism.
For employers and health plans, the findings reinforce the connection between behavioral health and workforce productivity – an increasingly significant driver of both employee well-being and total cost of care.
"Behavioral health issues show up in missed tasks, poor focus, and stress on the job," said Omar Manejwala, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Dario. "This study shows that timely, in-the-moment support improves how people function day to day, including at work."
For employers, the stakes are significant: illness-related lost productivity – including absenteeism and reduced on-the-job performance (i.e., presenteeism) – costs U.S. employers an estimated $575 billion annually. 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 & Scientific Affairs at Dario. "These findings further validate Dario's approach of combining behavioral science, data-driven insights and continuous engagement to help people develop sustainable habits that improve everyday functioning and health outcomes."
The publication adds to the growing body of peer-reviewed evidence supporting Dario's digital health platform, which integrates behavioral health with cardiometabolic support to address the interconnected chronic condition management needs of employer and health plan populations.
