Millions of individuals throughout the world suffer from the terrible medical illness known as dementia. It is a long-term and progressive brain illness that impairs memory, reasoning, and other cognitive functions. For those who are afflicted by the condition as well as their caregivers and loved ones, it can provide serious challenges. Caregivers may experience burnout and stress as a result of the physically and emotionally taxing nature of caring for a person with dementia. Care centres that provide specialized care for dementia patients have comparable issues in coordinating patient care and providing enough staff support. Thus, it is crucial to improve dementia patient care and management to deliver high-quality healthcare management and improve the lives of those affected by this disease. The Person-Centred Care (PEAR) software system was created with the intention of assisting dementia care centers by creating cross-platform applications that allow caregivers, supervisors, doctors, admins, and other roles to manage patients efficiently. The project's goals are to develop an extensible, traceable application which has good 1:1 correspondence between the mobile and web versions. The objective of the current project is to migrate the old ASP.NET Core MVC web application into the React Native web application. Using React Native's cross-platform capabilities through this migration will help to maintain consistency between the mobile and web versions. This report highlights the difficulties encountered during development, including dependency problems, preserving coherency, traceability, and extensibility. This report then concludes by highlighting the project's future work, which will involve the migration of newer features and making sure that the application keeps up with the PEAR software system's features and objectives
