Clinixo — Healthcare Clinic & Marketplace Platform
Clinixo is a healthcare platform we build and license at Darwinbark. It covers the operational side of running clinics — doctors, schedules, appointments and patients — and extends into a multi-vendor model where several providers operate on one installation, with commission and wallet handling between them. Version 1.0.0 was released as a commercial product on 21 July 2026.
Who Clinixo Is For
It suits two situations. The first is a clinic or small hospital group that needs appointment booking, doctor scheduling and patient records in one system rather than spread across a booking tool, a spreadsheet and a paper register. The second is an operator building a healthcare marketplace, where independent clinics, doctors, labs and home-service providers list on a shared platform and the operator takes commission on bookings.
What It Includes
Clinixo is organised into independent modules that can be enabled or disabled per installation. The main groups are:
- Clinical operations — Clinic, Doctor, Appointment, QuickBooking, Clinic Hours, Vital, Service and Specialization/Category management.
- People — Customer (patient), Employee and User management, with a Session module.
- Marketplace — MultiVendor, Commission, Earning, Wallet, Tip, Tax and Currency, plus Subscriptions for recurring provider plans.
- Service delivery — Request Service, Home Services and Logistic, for care delivered outside the clinic.
- Site & content — Frontend and Frontend Settings, Menu Builder, Page, Blog, FAQ, Slider, Promotion, Tag and Location/World data.
- Configuration — Custom Field, Custom Form, Notification Template, Language and Constant modules.
Payments, Wallet and Commissions
Bookings can be paid from a wallet balance, online through a payment gateway, or after the service. Coupon discounts and automatic commission handling between the platform operator and providers are built in. The codebase carries integrations for Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, PayU and Flutterwave.
WhatsApp Notifications
Clinixo sends patient notifications through the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API — OTP verification, booking confirmations, appointment reminders, payment and wallet notifications, and cancellation or rescheduling messages, using templates you control.
Technology
Clinixo runs on Laravel 11 and PHP 8.2 or newer, against MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+, with Vue 3 and Tailwind CSS on the front end. The modular structure means an installation that does not need, say, the logistics or subscription features can switch those modules off rather than carry unused code paths. Multi-language support is built in through the Language module.
Installation and Licensing
Clinixo installs through the browser — no shell or SSH access is required — which means it runs on ordinary shared hosting (Hostinger, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin) as well as on a VPS. The installer verifies the license key, checks PHP version and extensions, checks that storage/ and bootstrap/cache/ are writable, tests the database connection live, and requires you to create your own super admin account before finishing.
Licensing runs through DarwinBark's LicenseBox: activation, cached verification with an offline grace period, deactivation and update checking. The admin panel's License Center reports license status and type, product version, registered domain, installation ID, support expiry and which modules are active.
Healthcare Data Pack
A blank installation starts with a baseline catalog of specializations, categories and services, plus a small demo dataset. The fuller Healthcare Data Pack is licensed separately and imported through a chunked, resumable pipeline with a live progress bar and per-row error recovery, so a large import can be interrupted and resumed rather than restarted.
Security Work in 1.0.0
Several hardening items went into the first commercial release, and they are worth stating plainly because they describe how the product handles money and messaging:
- Wallet balance changes — booking payment, cancellation refund, provider commission debit and wallet recharge — use an atomic, row-locked update, closing a race where two concurrent requests against one wallet could lose an update.
- Login, password reset and registration OTP endpoints are rate-limited.
- Notification email template placeholders are HTML-escaped before rendering, so patient names or booking text containing markup cannot render unescaped in outgoing email.
- The WhatsApp webhook verifies Meta's
X-Hub-Signature-256request signature rather than accepting any POST.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Clinixo built on?
Laravel 11 on PHP 8.2 or newer, with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+. The application is organised into separate modules that can be enabled or disabled independently.
Does installing it require server or SSH access?
No. Clinixo ships with a browser-based installer that walks through license verification, a system requirements check, permissions, database configuration and admin account creation. It runs on shared hosting such as Hostinger, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin as well as on a VPS.
How is licensing handled?
A license key is verified against DarwinBark's LicenseBox during installation. The admin panel includes a License Center showing license status and type, product version, registered domain, installation ID, support expiry and activated modules. Verification is cached at boot with an offline grace period, so a temporary loss of connectivity does not take the site down.
Is demo data included?
The installer offers a blank or a demo installation. The bundled demo dataset is deliberately small — a baseline specializations, categories and services catalog plus a handful of demo clinics, doctors, labs, patients and reviews. The larger Healthcare Data Pack is a separate purchase and is never bundled.
Can I set my own admin login?
Yes. The installer requires you to create your own super admin account, which replaces the demo admin in the seed data. No installation ships with a publicly known default login.
