Hi everyone,
I just recently got to know Medic Mobile through Mark Herringer (healthsites.io), who invited me to join the discussion around the COVID 19 response.
I am a research associate at the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (heigit.org). The HeiGIT improves knowledge and technology transfer from fundamental research in geoinformatics to practical applications, with a specific focus on OpenStreetMap (OSM) and other geodata and humanitarian and public health contexts. We work in close collaboration with the fellow members of the Missing Maps initiative (missingmaps.org), including Red Cross, MSF, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, healthsites.io and other humanitarian organizations. Our main services include the OpenStreetMap based openrouteservice (openrouteservice.org), the ohsome OSM History framework (ohsome.org) and MapSwipe Analytics (MapSwipe | Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology).
Related to the global COVID 19 response, we recently published a research map around COVID 19, providing an overview of all clinical trials and research, Research on Covid-19. We furthermore support Mark Herringer and the healthsites.io team in COVID-19 logical framework & geospatial data.
I am very looking forward to learning more about the work of this community and how we can work together! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you are interested in learning more about our work.
