How Abbott Transformed Glucose Data Analysis Across LATAM

Overview

/> Industry: Life Sciences / Medical Devices

/> Region: Initially launched in Latin America – now scaling globally

/> Project Duration: December 2023 –Ongoing

/> Services: Data Visualization, Dashboards, Software Development

/> Tech Stack: Frontend React, Data Visualization Plotly Dash, Backend & Processing Python, Flask, Database SQLite, Security SQLcipher, Code Obfuscation, Logging Local file-based logs

The Challenge

Before working with Celerik, Abbott’s teams in Latin America relied on manual Excel workflows to analyze patient glucose data. The process was slow, fragmented, and prone to human error. Each region managed data independently, limiting visibility, scalability, and timely decision-making.

On top of that, strict data residency laws across countries made it difficult to implement a single, unified system. Abbott needed a solution that was compliant, customizable, and fast to deploy, something previous vendors had failed to deliver.

Our Solution

In collaboration with Abbott, we designed and delivered a powerful, locally-deployed data platform that replacedExcel with a smart, intuitive web application. Built with React and Python, the solution allowed Abbott’s teams to:

> Visualize patient population trends and KPIs in real-time

> Filter data by diabetes type, region, or patient group

> Access dashboards personalized to each team’s needs

> Ensure compliance with local data regulations

Our agile development approach meant new features were delivered and validated in weeks - not months - accelerating rollout and adoption across the region.

“After 20+ years working with vendors, Celerik truly stands out. Their consistency, agility, and customer-first mindset make them feel like part of our team. From day one to delivery, they brought their best people, and kept them on. They didn’t just promise results, they delivered, every time.”
Elango Nathan, Global Head of SensorData, Abbott

The Results

🚀 Metric Before (Excel) After (Celerik App)
Data processing 3–4 hours <10 minutes
Deployment per country 4 weeks 1 week
System uptime ~98% 99.9%

“Working with Celerik has been fantastic for our data initiatives in Colombia. Their local presence and deep understanding of our environment made the collaboration smooth from day one. They’re proactive, adapt fast, and consistently exceed expectations, especially around compliance and ethical standards.”
Jose Mauricio Ávila, SVP, GlobalR&D, Abbott

Key Outcome

Following the success of the pilot, Abbott is expanding the platform to more countries in LATAM and preparing to launch a partner-facing API. The impact goes beyond data, it’s changing how healthcare teams collaborate, analyze, and make decisions.
