Neon Medical Tracker

A dependency-free PHP, HTML5, JavaScript, and SQLite web app for multi-user medical tracking, searchable medical reference data, medication catalog lookup, common-use and official-label medicine context, terminology, symptoms, conditions, NIH/NLM study links, and admin-managed profiles.

This app is a personal tracking and reference tool. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment guidance, emergency guidance, or a substitute for a clinician or pharmacist.

Run

frankenphp php-server --root public --listen 127.0.0.1:8080

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:8080

Current Data

SQLite is created automatically at:

data/health_tracker.sqlite

The current SQLite snapshot includes:

• 7,646 medicine catalog records.
• 200 openFDA label-derived medicine use summaries.
• 308 symptom reference records.
• 283 condition reference records.
• 23 medical terminology records.
• 9 NIH/NLM research-link categories.
• 8,077 medicine-to-condition links.
• 10,590 medicine-to-symptom links.

The database also stores user profiles, medication logs, vitals, lab results, symptom logs, allergies, appointments, immunizations, optional legacy workout/nutrition/supplement data, theme preferences, and admin state.

Included

• Multi-user profiles with separate medical records and theme preferences.
• First user in a database is automatically promoted to admin; later users default to member.
• Admin dashboard for creating, editing, activating/deactivating, and deleting profiles.
• Admin medicine-source updater for refreshing catalog data from RxNorm, DailyMed, and openFDA.
• Profile-scoped tracker for medication logs, vitals, lab results, symptoms, allergies, appointments, immunizations, notes, and older wellness data.
• Searchable medicine catalog by generic name, active ingredient, chemical name, common brand names, generic/alternate names, class, family, what the medicine is used for, linked conditions, linked symptoms, and source terms.
• Dynamic medicine pages with active ingredient, chemical name, brand names, what the medicine is used for, openFDA label-use source links when available, linked conditions, linked symptom contexts, tracking notes, RxNorm, DailyMed, PubChem, MedlinePlus, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov links.
• Searchable symptom database with body-system categories, tracking notes, urgency-context notes, MedlinePlus links, and dynamic detail pages.
• Searchable condition database with category summaries, tracking notes, MedlinePlus links, and dynamic detail pages.
• Dynamic condition and symptom pages with commonly linked medicines generated from therapeutic-use categories.
• Medical terminology database with plain-language definitions, clinical context, source links, and dynamic detail pages.
• Combined medical library search across symptoms, conditions, terminology, medicines, and research links.
• NIH/NLM study-link categories related to listed medicines and conditions.
• Neon dark theme by default, light mode option, and green, blue, red, pink, and orange accents.

Medicine Catalog Updates

The medicine catalog ships with a curated starter set and the current SQLite snapshot includes thousands of imported medicine concepts. It can be refreshed from public sources, then re-linked to conditions and symptom contexts.

From the admin dashboard, use the medicine source updater and choose All sources, RxNorm, DailyMed, or openFDA.

From the command line:

frankenphp php-cli scripts/update_medicine_catalog.php 1000 all

For periodic maintenance, run the same command nightly or weekly. The first argument is the max rows per source, from 25 to 5000; the second argument is all, RxNorm, DailyMed, or openFDA.

The updater imports RxNorm ingredient concepts, DailyMed drug names, and openFDA label records. openFDA rows prefer official label indications_and_usage text and fall back to label purpose text when available, then continue filling generic, brand, and substance buckets for broader catalog coverage. Imported rows are also enriched with rule-based common-use context when the medicine name, class, family, official use text, or source terms clearly match a therapeutic category.

API

Main API endpoint:

public/api.php

Useful actions:

• GET api.php?action=state - tracker/admin state payload.
• GET api.php?action=library_search&q=chest&limit=20 - combined reference search.
• POST api.php?action=create_user - create a user profile from admin/tracker tools.
• POST api.php?action=update_user - update a user profile.
• POST api.php?action=delete_user - delete a user profile.
• POST api.php?action=refresh_medication_sources - refresh the medicine catalog from configured public sources.

The old public_signup action has been removed.

Notes

• This project intentionally avoids a public signup funnel. Profiles are managed through /admin.php and /tracker.php.
• Dynamic detail pages use shared PHP endpoints and pull records from SQLite; individual medicine, symptom, condition, and term pages do not need to exist as separate files.
• Legacy workout, nutrition, and supplement tracker data remains in the schema as wellness context, but the public app focus is now medical tracking and reference lookup.
