The American Diabetes Association Partners With Diabetes Monitoring Company Dario

The American Diabetes Association has announced on Friday a partnership with Nasdaq-listed diabetes monitoring company DarioHealth Corp., to advance the association’s mission “to prevent and cure diabetes while improving the lives of all people with the disease.”

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in the coastal Israeli town of Caesarea with additional offices in New York, Dario develops a diabetes monitoring device that lets users test and track their blood-glucose levels in real time using a smartphone. The palm-sized device offers safety features including emergency hypo alerts via text messages, which also contain data on the location of the user. The device has received regulatory approval in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Canada.

As part of their partnership, Dario will be one of the sponsors for the Association’s 2019 Step Out: New York City, a fundraising event to be held in September.
