We have covered several interesting features of “iHomoMate” in the earlier articles. In this article, we will take a look at the most important and most useful feature: Intelligent Case Analysis. Decades ago, when computer repertories were not available, Homeopaths used hard copies of Repertories to study a case and the confirm the remedy with […]
A good understanding of various remedy “kingdoms” and their associated “themes” is important for homeopathic prescribing, especially in chronic cases. iHomeoMate’s Remedy Kingdoms and Themes feature allows homeopaths to interact with the system regarding this topic in detail. Let us walk through some examples. The following figure shows the dialog where the user can input a […]
Let us continue the discussion of my Intelligent Homeopathy Assistant, officially called “iHomeoMate”. Samual Hahnemann’s Organon of Medicine is the foundation on which the entire edifice of homeopathy is built. Although every homeopath is expected to have a thorough understanding of the principles (“aphorisms”) in the book, it is very engrossing to go through it […]

All of them have a “Search” feature, where the given text is searched (typically based on key words and synonyms) against one or more repertories and the […]

I have reviewed two of his other books earlier. There are hundreds of books on treating acute cases in homeopathy, but what differentiates this book from […]
Homeopaths, after detailed case taking, usually ‘“repertorize” the case using software such as RadarOpus, MacRepertory, Vithoulkas Compass, etc., and finally consult a Materia Medica to confirm the remedy selection. There are some highly experienced homeopaths who have the gift of identifying the correct remedy without even repertorizing the case, but this is rare. In general, […]
Before Machine Learning came into the mainstream, Rule-based systems were being used actively to solve complex decision making problems. In fact, Rule engines were considered to be an exotic component of Artificial Intelligence and the systems built using these rule engines were called Expert Systems. I still remember learning to use OPS5 a few decades […]
