The Thieme RECOM Wound App enables mobile recording of wound images and their simultaneous assignment to a selected patient file in Thieme RECOM-GRIPS. Photos taken with a smartphone or tablet are automatically assigned to selected patients via a QR code. Over time, all wound images, including descriptions and dimensions, can be viewed. Thieme RECOM is a provider of high-quality, innovative digital products and services in the healthcare sector. We have supported the wound app team in the following areas:
With Microsoft discontinuing Xamarin for newer .NET framework versions, the RECOM team faced the challenge of modernizing their existing wound app and making it available to iOS users, as it was previously only available on Android. For existing users, the transition had to be seamless, with no migration effort or loss of functionality.
Our mission was to migrate the existing wound app, which was running on an outdated Xamarin.Android codebase, to the .NET MAUI platform as quickly as possible. The main focus was on maintaining the existing functionality so that the migrated version of the app could be delivered to customers as an update. We had to overcome a variety of third-party libraries, some of which were no longer actively maintained. The outdated project structure not only complicated the migration but also prevented smooth compilation with the latest development tools.
To meet the requirements, we decided to fundamentally modernize the application and fully commit to the .NET MAUI platform. Previous MVVMCross ViewModels were migrated to .NET MAUI, and the user interfaces were converted to XAML. We took care to replicate the original graphical user interface as closely as possible. We also integrated essential services, including the ability to take photos of wounds, data exchange with the server, and reading QR codes to decrypt received data.
In three weeks, we successfully migrated and modernized the old Android app. With .NET MAUI, we are providing the Thieme-RECOM team with a future-proof foundation to further develop the wound app and, in particular, to continue modernizing the user interface.
In parallel with the migration, we offered the RECOM team comprehensive training to impart the knowledge gained about the .NET MAUI platform. This ensured that the team could effectively use the newly created infrastructure and architecture, not only for Android devices but also for integration and deployment on iOS and Apple devices.
The successful migration and the associated modernization, including cross-platform availability, demonstrate not only our technical competence but also our ability to master complex challenges in application modernization and make the application accessible to a wider range of users.
»The impression Cayas left on us was very professional. From the first contact to the handover of the finished product, we felt well looked after throughout. We will definitely stay in touch.«
»The .NET MAUI development with Cayas Software has given our team all the necessary aspects of app development to be able to get started in this area.«
