Approximately 18%–25% of people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience depression1. The co-occurrence of these conditions can lead to poor health outcomes and increased costs for employers and payers, driving demand for integrated solutions to help improve clinical and financial results2,3. Dario's cardiometabolic solution offers members with T2D and prediabetes highly individualized journeys to help manage conditions with a holistic approach that includes integrated mental health support. Data captured from each member's journey, including clinical data such as blood glucose (BG) readings and behavioral data from engagement in digital tools, are integrated in a single, comprehensive data environment to support continuous personalization. This approach allows Dario to better understand the interconnected nature of depression and chronic conditions.
Dario's capability to integrate data through the pedometer of a smart mobile device or steps being tracked by Apple Health enables a new way to assess the relationship between depressive symptoms and blood glucose levels in individuals with T2D over time, with a particular focus on walking activity as a potential behavioral mediator.
"This new research shows the importance of providing a holistic approach to health management. People living with chronic health needs are often trying to manage multiple needs at once, and we believe that Dario's focus on driving healthy behaviors is necessary to improve health and realize better outcomes overall. We are excited to share this data and add new insights to reinforce the impact Dario offers to its members and partners," said Yifat Hershcovitz, PhD., Vice President of Clinical and Scientific Affairs at Dario.
"Dario is uniquely positioned to help shed light on the relationship between physical and mental health thanks to the rich volume of data we are able to gather and analyze for insights that benefit our members and our partners. This new research exemplifies the advantages of our data-driven approach to digital health and supports the value of our integrated approach to help employers and health plans to tackle costly and frequently co-morbid conditions," said Omar Manejwala, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Dario.
Improving Outcomes for Members with Co-Occurring Conditions
The new research used retrospective data from 989 users who regularly tracked their steps levels and BG levels for 12 months using Dario's cardiometabolic solution.
This study demonstrates how regular walking can mitigate the negative impact of depression on blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, revealing the following:
The new study supports the incorporation of walking into treatment protocols as a cost-effective and accessible intervention strategy to improve glycemic control and alleviate depressive symptoms in people living with T2D and depression.
The research was conducted in partnership with Integrative Pain Laboratory, the School of Public Health at the University of Haifa, Israel.
