Fighting diabetes in African countries

Merck DORA is a product by the Merck Group, a science and technology company that focuses on health improvements with the help of tech solutions and scientific support. So is the example of Merck Dora, a web-based application centered on helping fight diabetes in African countries.

Sneak peek into the project

The Merck Group needed to overhaul and improve their existing web-based application. Keeping in mind key aspects for this app, such as access to the Internet and its connection speed, we delivered a lightweight but still visually appealing and secure app for diabetes treatment where users can assess the risk of falling ill.

Originally, Merck DORA was only available in Kenya. After our partnership, the application became available in other eight African countries, and with different language variants.

Our involvement resulted in further collaboration on three projects: Merck Unite, Merck Life Science, and the Fertility Online Risk Assessment.

Expertise and insight

Not only did Monterail bring their technical expertise to the table, but they showed their sensitivity to the particular cultural context of this project by asking a lot of meaningful questions early on. Once they had fully and objectively analyzed the problems, they set about producing an original and extremely adequate application solution.

Mobile app & a smart walker
to tackle mobility issues

Camino is the world's first Smart Walker designed in California by a team of leading engineers.This intelligent electric-powered mobility device and its sophisticated features were developed in cooperation with over 1000+ users, carers, and clinicians.

Sneak peek into the project

In 2021, Camino came to us with just an idea for a product and a mobile app. During the intensive Discovery Phase,
including extensive interviews with users, therapists, and psychologists, we designed an app that connects to a walker, enables secure data exchange, and provides progress

tracking and social interaction features.

The native iOS app is designed to support elderly users'
mobility. The solution simplifies complex technical
components while prioritizing user experience. By building
a minimum viable product (MVP) that connects the app and walker through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), we created a user-friendly interface tailored to less tech-savvy individuals.

After five years of development and testing, the company announced official product launch in 2025.

Digital platform for wireless

ultrasound

Vave Health is a healthcare technology comapny founded
in 2015 based in the Silicon Valley. They focus on personal,
portable and wireless ultrasound solutions working
seamlessly with dedicated software. Since 2019, medical professionals conducted 1,000,000+ scanning sessions
and the product was recognized with 6 awards. 

Sneak peek into the project

For Vave, we evolved the hybrid mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms using React Native. By conducting
a thorough review, we developed a tailored upgrade strategy that would address the core technical and architectural challenges.

The development focused on improving IoT connectivity
and redesigning the product's user experience from the ground up. An innovative UX prioritized simplicity and intuitiveness, making the device significantly more user-friendly.

Vave successfully launched the redesigned product with
improved, scalable connectivity. The modern architecture
is easier to update for developers and QA specialists. Vave hardware&software is widely used by medical professionals in the US.

A web and mobile prescription
delivery solution

A web and mobile application enabling the UK’s fastest
prescription delivery service, built using Ionic.

Sneak peek into the project

In April 2022 - after 7 months of moving between the very initial application plan to its working version - the MVP with basic functionalities for online pharmacies was launched, and in June 2022, the team at Scription collected feedback from the app’s beta users to make adjustments to the product.

The alpha version of the app was released later in July 2022. Patients can get a prescription and then their medications are delivered in less than 90 minutes. Pharmacies gain access to a new pool of potential customers and a steady stream of online orders.

Essential support

The team at Monterail has been essential to us; we couldn't have done it without the breadth of structure that they have because what they provide is effective, including the business manager that runs the whole team working for us.

Online therapy and wellbeing mobile application

OctoberHealth aims to make mental health more accessible in Africa. They believe that everyone should have access to mental health care and support, which is not the case for many people. The company has taken it as its mission to help provide the resources in this gap and fight the three main reasons for the lack of accessibility: stigma, cost, and unawareness.

Sneak peek into the project

As they are a company in its early stages, they required a team of experts that could support the creation of the app on all stages from day one. They knew what they wanted in terms of functionality for the app.

We started our cooperation with discovery workshops during which we mapped out user journeys to help understand how the pieces fit together to bring this product to life.

Our main focus was to provide a smooth experience to all users, especially those with a low internet connection to motivate them not to resign from sessions due to streaming problems. We also ensured that data encryption and safe storage of data, crucial in the mental health industry, are incorporated into the app.

Bringing vision to life

What impressed me the most about the team, is how quickly they grasped what we are trying to achieve, and how they supported us to bring our vision to life. We have a world-class product and we wouldn’t have gotten to this point alone. Monterail was the perfect partner to get us here.

Cloud-powered EHR for rapid
COVID-19 response

We delivered a vital emergency service to the National Department of Health, using our Cloud-based EHR to gather real-time COVID-19 data from all South African hospitals.
We future-proofed the system, migrated the datacenter to AWS, and upgraded from Rails 3 to 6, ensuring scalability and reliability through code refactoring and bug fixing.

Value driven cooperation

Pricing Models

Time & Materials (T&M)

• How it works: You pay for the actual hours worked by the team and the resources consumed.

• When it’s used: For complex, evolving projects (such as SaaS platforms, e-commerce applications, or HealthTech solutions) where requirements change over time. It provides complete flexibility, transparent costs, and the ability to pivot quickly without having to renegotiate contracts.

Fixed Price

• How it works: The cost and timeline are locked in before development begins, based on a highly detailed technical specification and wireframes.

• When it’s used: For smaller, simpler projects with a low risk of scope changes, such as building a basic MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or implementing a single, well-defined feature. Any mid-project changes require a formal "change order."

Team Augmentation

• How it works: You get an exclusive team of specialists (e.g., developers, UX/UI designers, Project Managers) who act as a direct extension of your in-house IT department. Billing is based on a fixed, recurring fee (usually monthly) for the team’s contracted availability.

• When it’s used: For the continuous development and maintenance of mature digital products, where it is critical that the developers deeply understand your system architecture and business logic.
