They’re not rocks, Marie!
They’re minerals. Vitamins and minerals, actually, that this device helps you track. Pretty neat. Check out how we helped build it from scratch.

We watched our long-term partner Vitastiq grow from a fund-raising startup to an established product sold all across the globe. Still, there’s always room for improvement.
The challenge
Our main challenge was to develop mobile and web apps that would seamlessly connect to the Vitastiq pen and communicate all data to users. It required a robust backend framework, IoT-specific technologies, and the right experts for the job.
On top of that, we were responsible for the UX/UI design, giving it a slick, Apple-like feel.
The solution
Through our efforts, we managed to deliver on multiple fronts:
- Developed iOS and Android apps for personal use, enabling individuals to monitor their vitamin and mineral levels through a smart pen.
- Created a web app designed for business usage, allowing healthcare professionals to track and manage patient data efficiently.
- Built an Android Pro app tailored for business use, providing advanced features for in-depth analysis and reporting of vitamin and mineral levels.
HEALTH IS WEALTH
Based on Dr. Reinhold Voll’s electroacupuncture and Electro-Dermal Screening methods, Vitastiq helps users track over 30 vitamins and minerals in their system. How? By simply pressing the Vitastiq pen against specific points on their body.
Product features
- Tracks vitamins and minerals such as Iodine, Biotin, Copper, Folate, and others.
- In-depth video tutorials on how to easily use the device.
- Extensive reports on users’ mineral and vitamin levels, along with expert supplement suggestions when required.
- The PRO version of the app allows pharmacies to hold events where they provide free screenings to anyone who signs up.
OUR IMPACT
Full app development
Android & iOS apps
Our development team created the first iteration of mobile apps for the newly hatched startup back in 2016. They connected flawlessly with the device and gave users all the data needed to improve their health.
Web app development
Using Ruby on Rails, we refactored the existing web app and implemented a robust backend framework that can handle large amounts of user data.
UX/UI redesign
User behavior analysis
Before we could start our redesign we had to put our ear to the ground. Using Google Analytics, our design team analyzed every screen in each app to figure out what users were doing.
Full design direction
Having decades of experience in UX/UI design, we guided the client toward modern best practices to bring the app closer to the user and create a slick, minimalist feel.
Smooth design implementation
We used Figma to create new designs and collaborate with developers so we could do a smooth hand-off and make sure our designs could be implemented.
While working on Vitastiq, DECODE pulled all the stops. Of course, they delivered the project, but what’s also important is the relationship with us and the way they work—their communication was highly responsive, they were proactive and had that youthful zeal. I don’t know how they did it, but the whole time we were working together, we felt like we were their only client!
A FRUITFUL PARTNERSHIP
Through the 8 years we’ve been working with Vitastiq, we helped them grow from an ambitious Health Tech startup to a globally recognized and profitable product, used by hundreds of businesses and thousands of users.
When all’s said and done…
Here’s what our collaboration with Vitastiq led to:
- Mobile apps perfectly connected to the IoT device.
- A robust backend architecture
- A smooth user experience.
- Improved app performance and speed.
- Updated and modernized web & mobile apps.
We’re also always on call with Vitastiq to maintain and support their apps so they can always provide their clients with accurate data to improve their health.
