Project Summary

Qubika (formerly December Labs) developed a React Native mobile application for a smart pillbox startup, delivering both frontend and backend work for Android and iOS. The app enables account creation, Bluetooth pairing with the pillbox, compartment programming, smart alarms, push notifications, and reporting for caregivers. The client praised the team's quality, speed, communication via Slack and Trello, and hands-on management.

Key Challenges

Transition from a skeleton app built by individual developers and small firms to a fully built, market-ready product.

Project Deliverables

Mobile application for Android and iOS (React Native)
Backend and frontend development
Account creation and user management
Bluetooth pairing and pillbox connectivity
Pillbox compartment programming
Smart alarms and push notifications
Medication adherence reporting for caregivers

Project Solution

December Labs built the Android and iOS mobile application using React Native and delivered both frontend and backend development. The product allows users to create accounts, connect to the pillbox via Bluetooth, program which compartment holds which medicine, and receive smart alarms and push notifications with time windows for taking pills. The application also generates reports about medication adherence that can be sent to caregivers. The vendor staffed the project flexibly (typically 1–3 developers) and added designers as needed.

Project Outcome

Provided excellent service and higher quality than prior vendors
Delivered reliable and faster development without sacrificing product quality
Used Slack and Trello for effective communication and held weekly meetings
Management was present and responsive, including in-person visits
Did not charge extra for a missed deadline and maintained transparency
