Question 1: What are the server requirements to run MediCare?
Answer: MediCare is incredibly lightweight. You only need a standard web server (Apache/Nginx) running PHP 8.0 or higher, and a MySQL database (5.x or newer). It works perfectly on standard cPanel shared hosting, VPS, or even free hosting environments.
Question 2: How do I install the system? Do I need to be a developer?
Answer: No advanced coding knowledge is required! Simply upload the files to your server, import the provided medicare_db.sql file into your MySQL database via phpMyAdmin, and update the config/db.php file with your database credentials. It takes less than 5 minutes.
Question 3: What are the default login credentials for the admin dashboard?
Answer: After a fresh installation, you can log in using: Email:
[email protected]
Password: admin123 (Make sure to change the admin password from the Users section immediately after your first login!)
[email protected]
Password: admin123 (Make sure to change the admin password from the Users section immediately after your first login!)
Question 4: Is the source code encrypted or open for customization?
Answer: The source code is 100% open, clean, and unencrypted! It is built with vanilla PHP, Bootstrap 5, and jQuery. If you are a developer, you can easily modify the code, add new features, or customize the CSS theme to match your exact clinic branding.
Question 5: Can I test or run this system locally on my computer?
Answer: Yes, absolutely! MediCare works flawlessly on local environments like XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP. It is highly recommended for developers or clinics who want to run the system securely on an offline local network.
Question 6: Is the database and system secure against common attacks?
Answer: Yes, security is a high priority. The system uses Prepared Statements to prevent SQL Injection, CSRF tokens on forms to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery, output escaping (htmlspecialchars) to stop XSS, and secure password hashing (Bcrypt/password_verify) to protect user credentials. Additionally, all external dependencies are loaded via strict Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes.
Question 7: Does this include a patient billing or online payment gateway module?
Answer: Currently, MediCare focuses on core clinic operations: Patient Management, Appointments, Pharmacy Inventory, and Prescriptions. It does not include an online payment gateway (like Stripe or PayPal).
