Who it's for
Solo or 2-person team building for mid-market Nigerian companies (50–500 employees), especially in financial services, tech, and oil & gas where employee retention is costly and wellness budgets exist.
How to build it
1. Start with a basic web app (React + Node) that lets HR admins add employees, assign them wellness goals (steps, water, sleep, meditation minutes), and see compliance dashboards.
2. Integrate free wearable APIs (Google Fit, Apple HealthKit, Fitbit public API) so employees sync their devices with one click — no manual logging.
3. Build a simple leaderboard and reward system: teams earn points for hitting milestones, unlock badges, compete on dashboards. Keep it visual and low-friction.
4. Add a reporting layer: monthly PDF reports showing engagement %, health trends, wellness ROI (fewer sick days, productivity gains) that HR can present to leadership.
5. Launch with 2–3 pilot companies in Lagos/Abuja, gather feedback, then move to group licensing (one contract per company, not per user).

Your edge as a builder from anywhere
Nigerian HR teams see wellness as hiring differentiator in tight talent market; most incumbents are expensive Western SaaS with slow local support. You can build in Naira, understand local payroll cycles, onboard via WhatsApp/Slack, and price at 1/3 the cost. Wearable adoption is rising among Lagos professionals—API integrations are your moat, not custom hardware.
