Homoeopathic practice is very difficult when compared
to the other systems of Medicine. Everyone should be a master in Materia
Medica which contains ocean of symptoms. It is really a difficult job
for every one, besides this lot of application of philosophy stands
behind.
Each and every case requires separate study which
re quires lot of knowledge in Materia Medica. In olden days, since we
don’t have computers, it became essential for us to organize the
information collected from the patients in to rubrics matching them
with corresponding remedies and later published it as a book named Repertory
in order to simplify the tedious process of finding the similimum. But
still, with the repertory, the practitioner needs to spend time in going
through the structure of rubrics and finding the remedies.
Now this modern world has entered the new era of computers
applications. . Search of a rubric, comparison with other repertories,
reference to Materia Medica and cross repertorization have become easy
and non- time consuming.
Homoeopathic software is a great tool for rapid access
to homoeopathic repertories and Material Medica. Many companies had
marketed the Homoeopathic softwares. Good homoeopathic software must
include all the valuable repertories, books on Materia Medica and homoeopathic
philosophy. In homoeopathic softwares, prompt search function will be
available hence any desired repertory can be used to locate the matching
rubrics easily.
In standard repertorization evaluation, homoeopathic
software displays: the ordered list of remedies sorted by score based
on remedy grades and rubric values.
In this competitive world, there is need to use ‘Computers
in repertorization’ since the homoeopathic Materia Medica is vast
and expanding, the human mind cant keep updating all the facts. If we
doesn’t use then we will be utilizing just a tiny fraction of
informative things which we master. But still, computers can only give
back what is fed to it, hence proper Case taking according to principles
of homoeopathy, Case analysis and final interpretation with level of
relevance to case concerned are noted and done properly then a good
programmed computer proves to be a very powerful and helpful companion
to the homoeopathic physician.
