What was the task

The client’s objective was to penetrate the glucometer market with a new type of device, while effectively distancing themselves from the competitors.

We proposed conducting an audit of the product as well as the market to determine the implicit key advantages the client has.

Solution

Here’s what we did:

  • A brief analysis of the market and the competitors.
  • CustDev with potential users of the product.
  • We worked out possible product development options in the B2C, B2B, and B2G segments in the LeanCanvas format.
  • We formulated conclusions and hypotheses in the product development area, taking into account the risks associated with the market development vector.

We compiled a detailed product development specification and supported, deployed, and updated the micro service architecture. We restored code that had not been running for several years and updated all the outdated libraries. We implemented the admin panel and ported the server from .Net to Java/Kotlin.

The backend reengineering was carried out in our unique ergonomic development approach method, which boosted work efficiency. This solution allowed us to reduce our average labor costs for implementing the new features and cut the number of bugs in them in half.

Challenges

In the process of our work, we discovered a glucometer bug. When working with the device, the measurement data graph points were displayed incorrectly. We used a special Bluetooth tool for diagnostics: the team learned how to operate the nRF Toolbox and explained in detail to the client what the problem was.

Results

  • The app was released in April 2023 and, within less than a year, the number of users grew to 11,122.
  • During 2023, the application was used 428,559 times and glucose meter readings were taken 1,574,095 times.
  • There are currently 4,994 glucose meters that are synchronized with the app.

We still happily continue our strategic partnership with the client and are engaged in developing its products.
