2. Teral Services
Teral is a mobile application that facilitates the collection of clinical cases for the entire medical professional community, gathering all the necessary information related to the clinical case, patient, exams, videos, documents, photos, follow-ups, treatment, clinical outcomes, and other required data. It also allows professionals to maintain a history and easily search for information in cases for personal, investigative, and professional use.
Additionally, users can organize their clinical cases by pathologies, preferences, and other filters, and they can obtain real-time information, comments, or observations from peers to achieve more effective treatments or solutions with fewer complications and greater success rates.
To use the TERAL app, users must:
Have an Android or iOS mobile device compatible with the minimum technical requirements specified by the App, which may be modified at any time by TERAL.
Access the app store of their mobile device's operating system (iOS or Android) and download the TERAL app.
Upon entering the App, the User must enter their mobile phone number.
During the registration process, the User must create and register a personal, non-transferable password in the App, which will allow them to activate and reactivate the App at any time from any compatible mobile device, noting that the App will only be usable on the last activated mobile device.
In the registration process, the User must provide a valid document proving they belong to the healthcare sector (doctor, specialist, veterinarian, dentist, etc.) through a diploma, institutional ID card, or RUNT CARD - UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION OF HUMAN HEALTH TALENT; this document can be attached or a photo of the physical document can be taken and uploaded along with the registration of other personal information.
Once the above data is filled in, the User must carefully read TERAL's Terms and Conditions and Data Processing Policy. If the User, after thoroughly reviewing both documents, finds them acceptable, they must indicate their acceptance by checking the "checkbox" available during the registration process.
The User is solely responsible for safeguarding the password created for the use of TERAL. Therefore, the use of TERAL is personal and non-transferable.
In the event of theft or loss of the mobile device with access to TERAL, the User must immediately notify the App so that it can proceed with the blocking of the App on the device where it was downloaded. If the User fails to provide timely notice, any operations carried out by third parties with access to their information and device will be considered valid and successful, and can only be contested for faults attributable to TERAL. TERAL will not be responsible for any omission or delay by the User in requesting the App's blocking.
