iAMable is a collaborative research platform developed by Sheridan College and McMaster University. The platform helps older adults and people with chronic illnesses track goals, manage pain, and improve quality of life. It features dynamic questionnaires with conditional if/then/else logic and statistical data processing for research analysis.
Critical Migration Challenge
Drupal 7 reached end-of-life. The platform needed migration to Drupal 10 with zero data loss. All questionnaire logic, goal-tracking functionality, and statistical processing had to be preserved without disruption to ongoing research studies.
The Approach

Comprehensive review of research data structures, participant tracking systems, and dynamic questionnaire logic.
AI-Powered Migration Scripts
Deployed AI-driven migration scripts targeting participant data, goal tracking, and questionnaire logic.
Questionnaire Logic Preservation
Rebuilt all dynamic questionnaire templates with if/then/else conditions intact. Preserved statistical data processing functionality for research analysis.
Staged Rollout
Migrated platform in isolated environment. Extensive testing of questionnaire workflows.
Student Team Collaboration
Collaborated with internal student team building the companion phone application. Coordinated API endpoints and data structures for seamless mobile integration.
Research-Grade Migration
iAMable now operates on Drupal 10 with complete data integrity. All research participant records and questionnaire responses preserved. Dynamic questionnaire logic with if/then/else branching functions perfectly. Statistical data processing maintains accuracy for research analysis. Sheridan College and McMaster University gained a future-proof platform for ongoing research. Zero disruption to active studies. Seamless transition for research participants.
