A Connected Digital Health Community:
Enhancing Consumer Education and Engagement Through Technology

Chronic conditions bring unique challenges that often extend beyond physical symptoms—affecting mental health, motivation, and quality of life.

Social support, whether from family, friends, or peers with similar experiences, has been shown to significantly improve adherence to treatment plans, reduce stress, and even lower health risks associated with conditions like diabetes or hypertension. In fact, from a subset of users on Dario’s community platform, 91.7% said the community improved their knowledge and management of their condition.   

Individuals with strong social support networks also tend to experience less isolation and depression, a major risk factor for people managing long-term health issues.

For that reason, digital health tools that integrate elements of community and social support, like Dario, can boost health outcomes by creating an environment where members feel seen, understood, and empowered to continue on their health journey.
