The squad behind Wellteq's Garmin app.
Wellteq, a Singapore digital health company, was asked by Garmin to build a bespoke wellness app. Its own engineers were fully committed to the core platform. We assembled the team that delivered both.
The ask
Wellteq's platform delivers employee wellness programmes for enterprise clients. It draws data from wearable devices and turns it into personalised health insights. The product was gaining traction, and it earned the kind of opportunity that stretches a company: Garmin wanted a bespoke wellness app, built to its expectations and its timeline.
The constraint was the usual one. Wellteq's engineers were committed to the B2B roadmap and its existing enterprise clients, and the Garmin work could not come at their expense. The company needed a partner who could stand up real capacity quickly, work as part of the Singapore team rather than alongside it, and hold the quality bar a partnership like Garmin demands.
The squad
We began with the platform rather than the org chart: an analysis of Wellteq's architecture and where capacity was actually needed. From that we assembled a dedicated squad of seven, made up of front-end and back-end developers, QA engineers and a delivery manager, recruited around Wellteq's stack and run under our delivery management.
The squad worked within an hour of Singapore time, which meant stand-ups, reviews and pairing happened inside Wellteq's working day rather than at its edges. Delivery ran on fortnightly sprints. Wellteq's product owners set priorities, our delivery manager was accountable for cadence and quality, and changing the shape of the team took one conversation.
The work
The Garmin app was the headline: a bespoke wellness experience for Garmin's wearables, designed, built and delivered to the partner's standard. But a dedicated squad earns its keep across the whole estate, and the engagement widened as trust did.
The team rebuilt parts of the core B2B application interface and the customer admin portal. It broadened the platform's wearable integrations beyond the original device support, and built a SQL-based BI reporting layer with D3.js visualisation for enterprise clients. When Prudential engaged Wellteq for a partnership solution, the squad delivered it. When the platform outgrew its infrastructure, we added DevOps capability and ran the migration to AWS.
The result
The Garmin app shipped without the core roadmap giving way, which was the whole brief. Around it, the platform came out stronger: more devices supported, enterprise reporting its clients could put in front of their own boards, a major insurance partnership delivered, and infrastructure ready for scale. Wellteq was later acquired by a publicly listed healthcare AI company.
