Building a healthcare app with Flask? Let us review it.
Expert code review for healthcare apps built with Flask. We fix Flask-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Flask issues we find
Real problems from Flask codebases we've reviewed.
Debug mode in production
Flask's built-in debugger left enabled in production, exposing an interactive console that allows remote code execution on the server.
Hardcoded secret key
SECRET_KEY set to a default or short string like 'secret' instead of a cryptographically random value loaded from environment variables.
No CSRF protection
Forms and state-changing endpoints without Flask-WTF CSRF tokens, enabling cross-site request forgery attacks.
Running with flask run in production
Using Flask's development server in production instead of gunicorn or uWSGI, which is single-threaded and not designed for real traffic.
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 Flask 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 Flask?
Yes. We regularly audit Flask 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 Flask healthcare apps?
Common issues include debug mode in production and hardcoded secret key on the Flask 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 Flask healthcare app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Flask healthcare app projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address healthcare app-specific requirements, optimize Flask performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How long does it take to audit a Flask healthcare app?
Our code audit delivers a full report within 24 hours. For Flask healthcare app projects, we check security, architecture, performance, and deployment readiness across all Flask-specific patterns. Fixes are scoped separately with a fixed quote.
