A SaaS ecosystem with native iOS/Android apps used by 32 Estonian schools to measure student and staff wellbeing — turning a systemic but invisible problem into data school leaders can act on.
Student and teacher burnout was a systemic yet invisible crisis in the Estonian education system, driven by a lack of reliable data and diagnostic tools. School leaders lacked actionable insight to assess the mental health and wellbeing of staff and students, preventing proactive intervention.
We built a comprehensive SaaS ecosystem from the ground up, featuring native iOS/Android apps. Solutions: a private, secure student self-assessment workflow paired with an aggregated, anonymised dashboard for school psychologists and support specialists. Stack: Flutter/Dart, Next.js, PostgreSQL. Methodology: scientifically validated wellbeing scales (Schaufeli et al., Salmela-Aro et al., Konu & Rimpelä), adapted for Estonian 13–19 year-old students. Development followed an agile, iterative lifecycle — from paper prototypes and small cohorts to scaled deployment.
Deployed and operationally active across 32 Estonian schools, engaging approximately 5,500 students. Provided school psychologists with real-time, evidence-based insight, saving 23.4 months of support specialists' operational time and generating €59,776 in verifiable added value for the national education ecosystem. Demonstrated that digital wellbeing tracking can integrate into regular institutional workflows.
The boundary between product development and organisational consulting is fluid. Success is determined not just by what you measure but by how the findings are presented to drive behavioural change. Data availability alone does not guarantee use. Long-term digital sustainability requires embedding continuous training, data interpretation guidelines, and hands-on user support directly into the client's daily operations.
