The challenge

Vida Health, a digital health company offering personalized programs and coaching, relied on an in-house feature-flagging approach that involved manually toggling features through a database. The method lacked the scalability, randomization and automation needed to support a growing user base, and each feature rollout was time-intensive and risky.

The solution

Vida Health adopted Split's feature management and experimentation platform, using feature flags and production testing for phased rollouts and introducing consistent, automated experimentation. This freed data scientists from manual experiment setup and analysis.

Split has allowed Vida to test our mobile application in a way we wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
