Written by GIMMIR | Jun 25, 2025 8:19:12 PM

In the fast-evolving world of healthcare, fitness, and wearables, companies face immense pressure to innovate quickly, meet regulatory standards, and keep costs under control. Building in-house development teams in the US can be prohibitively expensive, often leading to delays and budget overruns. That’s where dedicated teams and outstaffing come in, offering a cost-effective, flexible, and high-quality solution. At Gimmir, we specialize in providing dedicated remote teams from Eastern Europe and Latin America, helping US startups save millions while delivering top-tier results. Here’s why this approach is a game-changer for your business—and why Gimmir is your ideal partner.

The Power of Dedicated Teams and Outstaffing

Dedicated teams and outstaffing provide a strategic advantage for companies in healthcare, fitness, and wearables. Unlike traditional in-house hiring, these models allow you to tap into global talent pools, reduce costs, and accelerate project timelines. Here are the key benefits:

  • Cost Efficiency: Hiring developers in the US can cost upwards of $110,000 per year per developer. In contrast, Eastern European developers earn between $22,000 and $36,000 annually, saving you up to 40% or more without compromising quality.

  • Specialized Expertise: Healthcare and fitness projects require niche skills, such as HIPAA compliance or wearable device integrations. Dedicated teams from regions like Eastern Europe are often well-versed in these areas, ensuring your project meets industry standards.

  • Flexibility and Scalability: Need a small team for a fitness app or a larger one for a telemedicine platform? Outstaffing lets you scale up or down quickly, adapting to project needs without long-term commitments.

  • Dedicated Focus: Unlike freelancers or general outsourcing, dedicated teams work exclusively on your project, ensuring alignment with your goals and faster delivery.

  • Time Efficiency: With streamlined processes and experienced developers, dedicated teams can cut months off your project timeline, getting your product to market faster.

These benefits make dedicated teams and outstaffing ideal for healthcare, fitness, and wearables companies looking to stay competitive.

Salary Comparison: USA vs. Eastern Europe

One of the most compelling reasons to choose outstaffing is the significant cost savings. Let’s break down the numbers:

Region

Average Developer Salary (Annual)

Potential Savings

USA

$110,140

-

Eastern Europe

$30,348 - $56,000

Up to 40%+

In the US, a single software developer earns an average of $110,140 per year, with senior roles often exceeding $130,000. In Eastern Europe, countries like Ukraine and Poland offer highly skilled developers at a fraction of the cost—$22,348 to $36,000 annually. This gap allows companies to hire entire dedicated teams for the cost of one or two US developers, freeing up budgets for marketing, research, or product expansion. These savings are particularly impactful for startups in healthcare, fitness, and wearables, where every dollar counts.
