Browser strings can be mimicked and faked to one's heart's content. It's up to the server to make a thorough check, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent

fwiw, i can not visit the url you cited. Firefox complains about insecure page (SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN). I tried to view the cerfiticate: it is issued to my ISP!! When I "take the risk" my ISP blocks the page as "not safe". In order to whitelist it i need to login and update preferences which does not work. Come to think of it, it could be an incompetent attempt by some incompetent banana republic operator to incompetently execute a man-in-the-middle. Which suggests to me that you have huge man-in-the-middle or isp-in-the-middle issues to deal with as well - what if they fake the data a patient sends?
