Caregiver & Next-of-Kin

Barnekreftforeningen identified caregiver registration as a Phase 1 MUST requirement because their peer mentor program works primarily with families around children with cancer. Without the ability to record caregivers, peer mentors cannot maintain a complete picture of the family's support needs, directly undermining the program's effectiveness. Barnekreftforeningen cannot adopt the platform without this capability at initial release. Beyond Barnekreftforeningen, caregiver relationships matter for NHF's user base of stroke patients and people with cognitive challenges, whose families are actively involved in their care. Capturing this data inside the platform eliminates reliance on personal phone books, improving data security and continuity when peer mentors change.

Caregiver records are modelled as a separate Drift table (contact_caregivers) with a foreign key to the contacts table, supporting one-to-many relationships per contact. The Flutter UI renders caregivers as an expandable section inside the contact detail screen, with add, edit, and delete actions resolved from JWT role claims at build time. Each caregiver form uses AppTextField and AppButton widgets from the design token system for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. Organization Labels are extended to caregiver terminology and returned in the backend bootstrap payload, cached offline. Offline writes use the mutation outbox pattern: written to Drift first, enqueued for server sync, rolled back on terminal failure. All data is encrypted at rest via SQLCipher, consistent with the platform-wide offline security model.
