Organised Editing/Activities/TeleClinic
TeleClinic GmbH
TeleClinic is an app that allows you to have a video call with a doctor as well as receiving medications.
Use of OpenStreetMap and editing goals
We want to provide information about local pharmacies to our customers. Therefore, we are interested in keeping pharmacy information in our application up-to-date. Since we are only operating in Germany, our editing scope is also limited to pharmacies in Germany.
In particular, we will do the following types of editing:
- Marking a pharmacy as closed
- Renaming pharmacies
Hashtag
Our employees should use the hashtag #teleclinic
Data Sources
- Our customers reporting errors to us (e.g. about non-existing pharmacies)
- Pharmacies contacting us (e.g. informing us they have been renamed or moved)
- Us actively calling pharmacies for checking information
- Pharmacy websites
