Building a Digital Platform for
Long-Term Metabolic Health
& Type 2 Diabetes Care
Context
A healthcare organization delivering clinician-led metabolic health programs needed to scale care beyond in-person delivery.
The program focused on long-term weight management, lifestyle intervention, and support for people with Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes.
"The digital platform was expected to become a primary care channel, not a secondary companion."
The Challenge
Supporting Long-Term Behaviour Change
Unlike short wellness programs, this platform had to support users over many months with daily interactions and clear progress visibility.
Calm UX • High Reliability
Handling Sensitive Health Data
Managing personal data, weight, and clinician-reviewed info required privacy-first flows and auditable design for compliance.
Privacy-First • Auditable
Offline & Real-World Usage
Users interacted with the app at home and in daily routines. Offline access and safe synchronization were essential for continuity.
Offline-First • Sync Logic
Scaling Without Breaking Logic
As more users joined and care flows evolved, the system needed to scale without compromising clinical structure or data integrity.
Scalable • Integrity
Our Role
MaxyLogic acted as a long-term product and engineering partner, staying involved as the platform matured.
Solution — In Depth
Healthcare-First UX
Design for chronic conditionsThe UX was designed for predictable, low-stress interactions. We prioritized clarity, trust, and long-term usability over engagement hacks.
- Clear daily guidance without overwhelm
- Progress tracking focused on trends
- Consistent flows across lifecycle
Mobile Architecture
For ongoing careBuilt as a care delivery tool. We used a cross-platform architecture with modular feature separation for safe iteration.
- Deterministic sync logic to prevent data loss
- Stable state handling for user journeys
- Offline support for core actions
Data & Compliance
Responsibility firstWe built with structured data models for metabolic data and clear separation between local and remote states.
- Controlled access to sensitive info
- Audit-friendly data flows
- Future-proof for regulatory changes
Continuous Evolution
Over multiple yearsWe balanced innovation with stability, adding new features and optimizing performance without disrupting continuity.
- Adaptation to evolving clinical needs
- Technical debt management
- UX improvements based on patient behavior
Impact & Results
Adopted as a core channel for metabolic health care
Operation with thousands of active users
Reliability across devices & networks
Major rewrites despite multi-year growth
Why This Matters
This case shows that digital healthcare is not about features. It’s about building systems people depend on — every day, for months or years.
