Problem Statement

01

The healthcare mobile application was built on Xamarin.Forms, which reached end of support, creating long-term maintainability and security risks

02

UI components exhibited inconsistent rendering across devices, with critical dark mode visibility issues affecting usability

03

Lack of a modern cross-platform foundation delayed planned UI/UX transformation initiatives

04

Continued use of deprecated framework components increased technical debt and constrained future enhancements

05

Existing architecture limited performance optimization and platform scalability

Solution Overview

01

Executed a structured migration from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI while preserving existing business logic and user workflows

02

Rebuilt XAML screens, ViewModels, and services using MAUI single-project architecture and MVVM pattern

03

Implemented adaptive theming to ensure dark mode compatibility and accessibility compliance

04

Replaced unsupported Xamarin plugins with MAUI-compatible equivalents and validated API integrations

05

Optimized local SQLite caching, search, and sorting mechanisms for performance consistency
