Nolia Health
Staff Augmentation and Development Support for Family Caregivers Ecosystem
Scaling Vision Through the Right Team
Client Overview
Nolia Health is a Seattle-based healthcare technology company redefining how patients navigate the care system. Through its digital platform and Care Guide service, Nolia connects individuals with the right doctors, services, and community resources — simplifying a process traditionally known for complexity and inefficiency. By combining technology and human guidance, Nolia helps users access care faster and more confidently.
As the company entered a new growth stage, scaling its product capabilities and user experience became critical to sustaining momentum and meeting an expanding client base’s expectations.
Nolia was preparing for a period of rapid expansion. With multiple initiatives underway — including an electronic health record (EHR) system, a self-onboarding module, and product redesigns — they needed to grow their development capacity quickly without losing the collaborative and innovative culture that defined their early success.
The challenge wasn’t simply to add people; it was to find multidisciplinary professionals capable of integrating seamlessly into a fast-paced startup environment. The company required profiles that could operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and contribute across several areas of the product lifecycle.
For a healthcare startup balancing technology, compliance, and human-centered design, the right partner had to provide not only technical talent but also strategic alignment and long-term reliability.
Building a Team That Builds the Future
Kirana Labs partnered with Nolia Health to structure and integrate a dedicated development team that could enhance the company’s internal capabilities while preserving its unique rhythm and culture.
The engagement began with a close collaboration between Kirana’s operations and Nolia’s leadership teams to define the technical scope, soft-skill profile, and collaboration expectations for each role. Emphasis was placed on self-driven, adaptable professionals who could handle both day-to-day development tasks and higher-level product decisions.
Through this process, Kirana Labs deployed a cross-functional team consisting of three full-stack developers and a UX/UI Lead. The developers were embedded directly into Nolia’s engineering department, working on core product functionalities, infrastructure improvements, and feature rollouts. Meanwhile, the UX/UI Lead served as a bridge between design, engineering, and business stakeholders, helping guide product vision and user experience strategy.
Kirana Labs ensured a seamless onboarding experience through shared communication frameworks, sprint alignment, and integrated delivery channels, allowing the new team members to operate as if they were part of Nolia’s in-house staff from day one.
Empowering Growth Through Seamless Integration
The collaboration quickly began delivering measurable outcomes. The new team helped Nolia accelerate product development cycles, releasing new features with consistent quality and speed. Among the most impactful deliverables were a fully functional EHR system, an automated client self-onboarding flow, and a comprehensive app redesign aimed at improving user engagement and accessibility.
According to Nolia Health’s leadership:
“Kirana Labs continuously delivered product features, including an EHR system, client self-onboarding, and app redesigns. These features positively impacted our business operations and goals by enabling us to focus on other aspects of the business and concentrate on our core competencies as a team.”
The partnership allowed Nolia to reallocate its internal resources toward strategic growth and customer engagement while maintaining full confidence in the delivery of technical initiatives. The engagement remains ongoing, reflecting a relationship built on trust, transparency, and shared success.
The integrated team operates within Nolia’s existing development infrastructure, leveraging modern full-stack technologies, agile methodologies, and continuous delivery pipelines. Kirana Labs provides operational oversight, ensuring stability and continuity while Nolia retains full creative and technical control.
This partnership exemplifies the value of nearshore collaboration, combining time-zone alignment, bilingual communication, and a shared understanding of startup dynamics — essential factors for U.S.-based companies seeking reliable development partnerships in Latin America.
