Personalized Health App Development
Launching a Next-Gen Health and Supplement App for the GCC
About Project
A leading conglomerate with extensive operations in high-end retail across the GCC region had a new vision: to launch an innovative digital wellness platform. This project was a greenfield venture, with no existing website or app. Our team was brought on to pioneer an all-in-one platform that would seamlessly combine smart health tracking, a robust eCommerce experience, and a gamified user journey from the ground up.

Key Challenges
Evolving Project Scope
The project’s scope expanded significantly from a simple concept to a highly complex, multi-featured platform. This required us to constantly adapt our development priorities and strategies as client expectations grew.
Budget and Effort Management
Managing the project’s scope and efforts within the allocated budget became a key challenge due to the shifting priorities and the increased workload required to deliver new features.
Complex Wearable Integration
Formulating a robust and reliable logic for physical activity tracking was a critical hurdle. The solution had to be not only technically sound but also easy to implement and ready for a go-to-market launch.
Device Access for Integration Testing
A final challenge was the limited access to a physical Garmin device, which complicated the testing process for this critical integration and required a more creative approach to ensure functionality.
Our Solutions
Collaborative Agile Development
We adopted a collaborative, agile approach, conducting multiple in-depth calls with the client to clarify evolving requirements. We created detailed process flows and walkthroughs to ensure a crystal-clear understanding of project deliverables and a complete alignment with the client’s vision and business goals.
Streamlined GTM Strategy
To manage the complex wearable integration, we analyzed the client’s working logic and competing applications. We developed two distinct versions of the platform, a simplified go-to-market (GTM) version and an advanced version, helping the client make a faster, informed decision for the MVP phase and accelerate the project timeline.
Scope and Budget Optimization
We assisted the client in deprioritizing non-essential features, focusing on must-have functionalities. By simplifying the physical activity tracking logic for the MVP version and conducting detailed walkthroughs, we ensured the project remained within budget while meeting core business objectives.
Effective Integration Testing
To overcome the challenge of limited access to testing devices, we collaborated with the client to secure a physical Garmin smartwatch. This was a critical step that enabled thorough testing and ensured a seamless integration with Garmin wearables, validating a key feature of the application.
Our Approach
Our strategic approach with Agile methodology ensured a smooth, successful transition to a modern mobile platform.
