CareCheck — mobile care documentation for Nextcloud
App ID in Nextcloud: carecheck. Clone path:
git clone https://github.com/aSoftwareByDesignRepository/nextcloud-carecheck.git /path/to/nextcloud/apps/carecheck
CareCheck brings ambulatory care documentation (ambulante Pflege- und
Betreuungsdienste) onto your own Nextcloud: recurring tour templates that
materialize into daily tours, an offline-first companion app for caregivers,
signed visit bundles with per-visit plan snapshots, and a tamper-evident,
hash-chained journal an auditor can verify independently.
Health-adjacent data stays on the provider's own server — no SaaS silo,
no third-party telemetry.
Features
Coverage & tours
- Coverage board — day overview with stat tiles, date navigation,
per-tour grouping, uncovered-stop queue, and live progress per tour
- Recurring tour templates — weekly patterns materialize into daily tour
instances; publish, reassign, covered/uncovered tracking
- Bezugspflege & Vertretung — named caregiver per client plus substitutes,
with qualification gating (soft warn / hard block)
- Time rules on stops — window / fixed / deadline; missed-window
escalation to Zentrale; late documentation is allowed and recorded
- Team scoping (NH-11) — team leads see only their teams' clients and
tours; Zentrale keeps full visibility
Visit documentation
- Visit bundles — check-in → briefing card → checklist → optional value
fields → signature → check-out; atomic, idempotent, offline-capable
- Task results — done / refused / not-done + reason codes
- Signatures — on-screen client signature, representative path, or
recorded "unable to sign"
- Clinical photos (NH-04) — consent-gated, encrypted blob store
- Voice notes (NH-01) — recorded on the companion, transcribed via
Nextcloud TaskProcessing when a provider is configured
- Group sessions (NH-12) — one worker, many clients, Teilnehmerliste
- QR/NFC presence proof (NH-14) — scanned checkpoint token attaches to
check-in as evidence hardening
Records, journal & audit
- Client records — field-level encryption for sensitive attributes
- Versioned care plans — published versions; each visit snapshots the
plan version it documented (no retroactive rewrite)
- Append-only journal — hash-chained, anchored externally,
occ carecheck:verify-chain for independent verification
- Break-glass — audited, reason-coded, time-boxed cover access with a
visible marker on affected screens and exports
- Access audit log — read/export events for DPO/MDK review
- Documents — client document links (NH-19) with expiry warnings (NH-15)
Zentrale & exports
- Notices (Rückmeldungen) — incident / supply / plan-change / info with
acknowledgement workflow and review queue for rejected sync bundles
- Leistungsnachweis export — PDF + CSV (formula-injection-safe,
allow-listed fields), structured JSON/XML billing input (NH-07),
InvoiceCheck draft invoices (NH-21)
- QM dashboard (NH-17) — incident/overdue/unsigned-visit statistics;
vital-value trends (NH-18)
- Client CSV import (NH-20) — switch-onboarding for Klientenstamm
- Diagnostics (NH-10) — license/device/sync state without client data
Platform
- WCAG 2.1 AA — keyboard, screen reader, forced-colors, reduced motion,
low-literacy copy
- Fully responsive — desktop table views collapse to labeled cards on
phones
- 12 locales — en/de plus da, es, fr, it, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt_BR, sv
- Docker-friendly — SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL; strict DB portability rules
Companion app
The native companion (mobile/carecheck, Expo/React Native) is licensed
separately via CCK2 seats. It provides offline-first visit execution,
PIN + biometric unlock, QR pairing, break-glass, group sessions, voice notes,
photo documentation, and station/kiosk mode. The web app stays free AGPL —
never paywalled.
