Digital health is entering a new phase, fueled by the GLP-1 revolution and employer cost pressure. With six enterprise contracts signed in October and a strategic review underway, DarioHealth sits at an inflection point between steady building and market recognition.
Digital health is stirring. After a period of skepticism, thinning valuations, and cautious capital, 2025 is showing signs of resurgence: IPOs are coming back, chronic care is ascending in importance, and treatment paradigms are shifting. The GLP-1 wave has catalyzed renewed focus on long-term care support, not just drug adoption. With self-insured employers facing healthcare cost increases of 9% in 2024 and a projected 11% in 2026, the urgency for proven ROI solutions has never been greater.
As patients start on potent metabolic drugs, adherence and behavioral support become the battleground. The companies that can close the gap between prescription and sustained outcomes will define the next generation of winners in digital health. DarioHealth (NASDAQ: DRIO) is emerging as one of those companies, building a platform explicitly designed to meet this challenge.
Six Enterprise Clients: More Than a Milestone
Just a few days ago, Dario announced six new employer contracts encompassing tens of thousands of covered lives. The sectors span manufacturing, education, advertising, and professional services. Included is a building materials firm with over 6,000 U.S. employees and a major U.S. school district with more than 40,000 staff. At least three of those contracts adopt milestone-based pricing, aligning payment to measured engagement and outcomes.
Earlier, in September, Dario disclosed five new employer agreements across its cardiometabolic suite, contributing to anticipated recurring revenues starting Q3 2025 and reinforcing its client growth trajectory. That same press release referenced a $67 million pipeline and a goal to sign 40 new clients by year-end.
Together, these moves suggest Dario’s positioning is shifting. It’s no longer just acquiring pilots or small programs – it is securing enterprise-level, outcome-oriented contracts that presuppose confidence in its platform.
Financial Reality & Operational Traction
In Q2 2025, Dario reported revenue of $5.4 million, down from $6.3 million in Q2 2024 and $6.8 million in Q1 2025. That decline was partially attributed to the non-renewal of a large health plan scope and slower-than-expected ramp of new client onboarding.
Still, the operating story shows progress: Dario reported that reduced its operating loss by 43%, cut expenses by 36%, and improved its gross margin to 55% (with its core B2B2C channel operating at ~80% margins on a non-GAAP basis).
The launch of a strategic review, with Perella Weinberg Partners advising, follows multiple unsolicited expressions of interest. That interest likely reflects recognition of Dario’s ability to deliver ~$5,000 in annual savings per user and to reduce hospitalizations by 23% – a proven return that directly addresses the cost crisis facing self-insured employers.
These financials aren’t perfect; they reveal challenges in execution and timing. But they also show a company tightening operations, protecting its runway, and signaling openness to revaluation via strategic routes.
Omada’s Public Proof – and Where Dario May Diverge
Omada, now trading as OMDA, provides one of the clearest proof points for how the market values scaled digital chronic care. In Q2 2025, Omada posted $61 million in revenue (a 49% year-over-year jump), gross margin of 66% (GAAP), non-GAAP margin of 68%, and net loss narrowed to $5 million (from $11 million a year prior).
Omada’s success in commercializing its GLP-1 companion track—launched via partnerships with large pharmacy benefit managers—is widely cited as validating the model of embedding digital support around metabolic therapy. Its IPO success (raising $150 million, 21% price pop, ~$1.28B valuation) further signaled renewed investor appetite for healthtech.Yet Omada’s path is not without constraints: its distribution relies heavily on intermediaries (PBMs, payers), and it must sustain engagement across multiple disease verticals to justify margins.
Dario has an opportunity to diverge. Its new contracts suggest demand from direct employer channels, not just intermediaries. Its milestone pricing shifts more risk to itself, aligning incentives with outcomes. Its platform investments (e.g. prescriptive capability via MediOrbis) and announced expansion into sleep health through a partnership with GreenKey indicate a willingness to push beyond cardiometabolic verticals.
Where Omada has validated the digital chronic care thesis in public markets, Dario may be building a differentiated, higher-leverage variant behind the scenes.
The Case for Revaluation: Upside, Risks, and Timing
Dario’s recent wins, pricing innovation, and platform expansion create a narrative that may be underappreciated in the market. The strategic review opens a potential path to market recognition via acquisition, merger, or structural repositioning.
Yes, some short term revenue softness and onboarding delays are issues. But Dario’s valuation remains modest compared to peers like Omada, which have already shown that public markets will assign premium multiples to scaled platforms. With six new enterprise contracts signed in October, five more in September, a $67 million pipeline, and a strategic review underway with Perella Weinberg Partners, Dario is no longer just proving it can win pilots – it is competing for scale.
If the company sustains this enterprise momentum, delivers on measurable ROI like the ~$5,000 in annual savings per user and 23% fewer hospitalizations already reported, and continues margin expansion, a revaluation could come quickly – whether through market recognition or strategic interest. That is why Dario now sits at a genuine pivot: from quietly building to becoming publicly validated. The decision for investors is whether to position ahead of that shift.
