Building a healthcare app with Express? Let us review it.
Expert code review for healthcare apps built with Express. We fix Express-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Express issues we find
Real problems from Express codebases we've reviewed.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
Unstructured error handling
No global error-handling middleware. Errors either crash the process, leak stack traces to clients, or get silently swallowed with no logging.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
Healthcare App challenges to solve
Key healthcare app concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
HIPAA-compliant data handling
Protected health information must be encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit, access-logged, and stored only in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. AI tools store data in standard databases with no encryption, no access logging, and on hosting providers that may not offer HIPAA-compliant tiers.
Access controls and minimum necessary rule
Healthcare regulations require that users only access the minimum data necessary for their role. A nurse sees different data than a billing clerk. AI-generated auth gives everyone the same access level, which violates the minimum necessary principle.
Audit logging for compliance
Every access to patient data must be logged — who viewed it, when, from where, and what they accessed. These logs must be tamper-proof and retained for six years. AI tools don't generate any audit logging, let alone compliant audit trails.
Telemedicine reliability
Video consultations, real-time messaging, and appointment scheduling must work reliably — a dropped video call during a medical consultation is not just frustrating, it's a patient safety issue. AI tools generate basic WebRTC setup without fallback mechanisms or connection quality monitoring.
What we check
Key areas we review for Express healthcare app projects.
Data encryption — PHI encrypted at rest and in transit
Access controls — role-based access with minimum necessary enforcement
Audit logging — tamper-proof logs of all PHI access
Infrastructure — HIPAA-eligible hosting and database configuration

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a healthcare app built with Express?
Yes. We regularly audit Express healthcare app projects and understand the specific patterns and pitfalls of this combination. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What issues do you find in Express healthcare apps?
Common issues include no helmet middleware for security headers and missing input validation and sanitization on the Express side, combined with healthcare app-specific concerns like hipaa-compliant data handling and access controls and minimum necessary rule. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Express healthcare app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Express healthcare app projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address healthcare app-specific requirements, optimize Express performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How long does it take to audit a Express healthcare app?
Our code audit delivers a full report within 24 hours. For Express healthcare app projects, we check security, architecture, performance, and deployment readiness across all Express-specific patterns. Fixes are scoped separately with a fixed quote.
