Building a healthcare app with PHP? Let us review it.
Expert code review for healthcare apps built with PHP. We fix PHP-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common PHP issues we find
Real problems from PHP codebases we've reviewed.
SQL injection vulnerabilities
Direct variable interpolation in SQL queries instead of prepared statements or query builders, allowing attackers to read or modify database contents.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
User input echoed directly into HTML without htmlspecialchars() or template engine escaping, enabling script injection attacks.
Insecure file uploads
File upload handlers that only check MIME types without validating file content, allowing PHP shell uploads and remote code execution.
Deprecated function usage
AI tools generate code using deprecated functions like mysql_query, ereg, and create_function that are removed in modern PHP versions.
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 PHP 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 PHP?
Yes. We regularly audit PHP 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 PHP healthcare apps?
Common issues include sql injection vulnerabilities and cross-site scripting (xss) on the PHP 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 PHP healthcare app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For PHP healthcare app projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address healthcare app-specific requirements, optimize PHP performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How long does it take to audit a PHP healthcare app?
Our code audit delivers a full report within 24 hours. For PHP healthcare app projects, we check security, architecture, performance, and deployment readiness across all PHP-specific patterns. Fixes are scoped separately with a fixed quote.
