We also see some teams using Matine/Medplum for internal care app and custom library for patient or partner experience

(): JSX.Element =>
Is it correct to say that if we wanted to make visual changes to the look and feel of these components, that we have to just rebuild them from scratch? Thats fine btw, we just want to understand the limitations of the out of the box components.
