CASE STUDY / Kinda · Balance

From research to an everyday wellbeing platform.

teszt.eu began as the questionnaire interface of workplace wellbeing research at the University of Pécs Faculty of Health Sciences. Working with researcher Attila Nyikos, we rebuilt it as the Kinda platform: research data collection remains, alongside web and mobile applications designed for company use.

01 / CONTEXT

The business challenge

A research questionnaire is completed once, whereas a company wellbeing tool has to be meaningful week after week for employees and managers alike. The challenge was to connect the two without compromising the research methodology.

THE DESIGN DECISION

Research and product do not compete: the questionnaire measures, Balance prompts action. Money is shown in forints while points are stored behind the scenes — tax questions arise only on redemption.

WORKFLOW / Kinda · Balance

How the user journey comes together.

  1. 01 / MEASURE

    Questionnaire and baseline

    The research questionnaire records the starting point.

  2. 02 / ACT

    Weekly activities

    Employees choose activities in four dimensions; a manager approves them.

  3. 03 / FEEDBACK

    Reports and rewards

    Managers see an ROI view, employees redeem in the reward shop.

02 / IMPLEMENTATION

How we approached it

We rewrote the legacy PHP system as web and mobile applications on a shared codebase. The questionnaires remain, while the Balance module offers weekly activities in four dimensions — health, community, finances and private life — approved by a manager and redeemable for rewards.

Innovation in practice

The decisions behind the functionality

  • A research instrument and a company product in one system

    The same platform supports doctoral research data collection and day-to-day company wellbeing programmes.

  • Wellbeing you can follow in forints

    Rewards appear to employees in forints, while accounting receives a monthly export with category labels.

  • An ROI view for HR leaders

    Programme cost and activity can be followed in one place, team by team.

Behind the interface

Technologies and architecture

A shared codebase: a Next.js web application and an Expo-based mobile application with shared interface elements, schemas and types. Prisma models and a MySQL database hold the data; legacy questionnaire data and the new question set live in the same schema.

Next.js + React

The foundation of the employee and administrator web interfaces.

Expo + React Native

A mobile application for iOS and Android from shared code.

TypeScript

Shared types and schemas across web and mobile.

Prisma + MySQL

A shared data model for legacy questionnaire data and the new modules.

Tailwind CSS

A consistent look built on custom design tokens.

DELIVERY / PROJECT SCOPE

What we built

  • Research questionnaire: workplace wellbeing, WHO-5 and quiet-quitting sections
  • Balance module: weekly activities, wellbeing wallet and reward shop
  • Manager approval and team views
  • ROI dashboard for HR leaders
  • Monthly benefits export for accounting, with tax category labels
  • Mobile application (Expo / React Native)
  • Bilingual Hungarian and English interface

Our role

Rewriting the earlier questionnaire system, a data model for the old and new question sets, employee and administrator web interfaces, a mobile application, reports and exports.

Project status

The Balance MVP has been live since May 2026. Step counts are currently entered manually; health-data synchronisation is prepared but not live. Packaging and pricing are under discussion.
