Stabilizing and Scaling a Home Health Monitoring Platform

A U.S.-based consumer health technology company faced critical challenges with system stability and the need for a responsive, experienced development partner. unicrew stepped in to not only stabilize the platform and optimize infrastructure costs but also to drive new feature development, ultimately becoming a trusted, long-term technology partner.

Project Overview

The client delivers a consumer technology product focused on simplifying how users stay aware of fast-changing dynamic conditions. The experience is intentionally lightweight, prioritizing clarity and minimal user effort.

A cloud-backed system processes incoming data from third-party services and ensures timely, dependable delivery across the user experience, making platform stability and scalability essential requirements.

Challenges

The client engaged our team to stabilize the system and build a foundation for future growth. Key challenges included:

  • System Instability
    Periodic outages and reliability issues were undermining user confidence in a product where consistency is critical.
  • Rapid Team Onboarding
    The client required a team that could rapidly grasp the existing codebase, assume maintenance responsibilities, and start delivering value without an extensive handover process.

Solution

unicrew delivered a comprehensive solution that addressed immediate stability issues and established a foundation for future growth. By taking a holistic approach, we transitioned from a crisis-response team to a long-term strategic partner, focusing on technical excellence, cost efficiency, and proactive product evolution.

We updated the cloud infrastructure and implemented robust monitoring to eliminate system downtimes and ensure high availability.

Strategic Cost Management

Through detailed analysis and optimization of AWS services, we reduced operational costs while improving system performance.

Full-Cycle Product Development

Our team managed the entire development lifecycle, including a full UI/UX redesign and integrated additional third-party data sources to expand functionality.

Dedicated Partnership & Support

We became an extension of the client’s team, providing proactive product consulting and handling end-user support to ensure ongoing success.
