Dario is a complete mobile glucose management system based on a smartphone (iPhone or Android) and secure cloud services. Dario offers a number of unique and extremely valuable features such as a standardized glucometer device that attaches to the earpiece of the handset and does not require special cabling. Having a standard device also means that for the first time - diabetes patients can share data with their physicians and physicians can be certain that the data was obtained from the same calibrated device no mater who their Dario patient was.

2. Foreword
• Work described in this talk was performed
under contract to Labstyle Innovations for the
Dario project.
• My thanks to Dr. Oren Fuerst CEO and Erez
Raphael VP R&D.
3. In the beginning
• In the beginning there was connectivity and
hierarchy.
7. This is a problem
• Data flows 1 way to the provider who accrue
most of the benefits.
– The water company
– Your healthcare provider
• Consumers who generate the data don’t get
cheaper water or better health

Access to data enables
the consumer to
make better informed
decisions - but there
are serious problems
of data quality.
11. Innovation 201 – Data to action
Accurate data collected
with the same test
equipment enables a
swarm of devices to
be proactive.

16. Glucometer components
• Basic Adaptor - basic adaptor that connects to
the audio jack of a Smartphone; transmits
test signal from a blood test strip
• Lancing Device–Integrated lancing device that
can be loaded with disposable lancet
• Strips Cartridge–disposable strips cartridge
holding and dispensing 25 test strips.
• Mobile device application
18. Caregiver/physician module
• Enables a caregiver to track patients and
identify the level of compliance with the
recommended treatment.
• Help identify patients that are in risk and that
require a higher level of personal attention at
a particular point in time.
19. Machine learning module
• Trains on personal data sets of blood glucose,
food intake, insulin dosage and physical exercise.
• Implements a novel collaborative approach
between user and system
• Reinforces patient behavior
• Provides proactive feedback in the form of
rewards that guide the learning algorithm and
the user to achieve better diabetes management

There is good reason for this – the providers invest in transaction systems to improve their operational efficiency, the cost of water or outbreaks of swine flu are beyond their control – or not?
In the US 10.5% of population between 20 and 70. In Israel – 6%. That is NIS 12 BN. The entire 2012 budget of the Ministry of Education was 40BN by comparison.
Medicine begins to look very different with apps (and devices connected to the smartphone) that don’t just communicate information, but actually do medicine — diagnostics, telemetry and therapy — on the smart phone or tablet.
