Covid-19 Support Project Presentation

Clificol is a cloud-based database designed to collect clinical cases of homeopaths worldwide. The Clificol team has created a specific project to collect data on the use of homeopathy as adjunctive care in the treatment of Covid-19-virus patients. This includes the possibility of finding

• ne or more genus epidemicus remedies, based on confirmed large-scale data.

Clificol Covid-19 Support Project Highlights

This list highlights the main features of this project:

• Respects GDPR/HIPAA and privacy regulations
• Cloud-based database, 24/7 free access for all homeopaths
• Verification of legitimacy of potential contributors (avoid fake contributors)
• Easy, practical interface with maximum of preset values
• Standardized entry of data, guaranteeing maximal searchability of data afterwards
• Remedy catalog with all remedies currently in use
• Multilingual interface accessing the same database worldwide
• Any repertory symptoms and consultation text can be added in any language
• Creates clusters of recurrent common symptoms per remedy
• Data input masks have been developed in collaboration with (bio)statisticians
• Statistical analysis of data through mathematical modelling
• Continuous incremental backup of all data
• Secure https protocol on secure server

Information About Some Choices

• Automated 24/7 registration through National Clificol Coordinators
• Any homeopath can contribute clinical data for free; no need for any additional software

although this would facilitate the entry of data

• Patients are anonymized, the homeopath can only enter a number to identify them

(“Patient code”), no name, even no initials

• Only year of birth can be put, but not the date of birth
• Zip codes can be put, but not retrieved in detail. Only regional searches can be executed,

not the village

• Data anonymized in this way do not fall under the GDRP/HIPAA regulations.
• “Level of severity” drops a list of 5 phenotypes, indicating the initial severity of the case
• “Diagnostic accuracy” drops a list of diagnostic options ranging from confirmed by swab to

epidemiologically suspected case

• “Co-morbidity” drops the list of known co-morbidities; more than one option can be

selected

• “In “Repertorial symptoms” symptoms from any repertory software can be copy-pasted.

They will be used for statistical analysis.

Version 200727 www.clificol.net info@clificol.net

• The user can indicate an intensity (1-4) for each repertory symptom, which will allow a

more relevant statistical analysis

• Posology can be included
• Evaluation points after 1, 3 and 7 days, whatever the days of consultation be
• Easy evaluation by selecting the “Overall assessment of the patient” (ORIDL scale)
• Possibility to select “Final outcome” when concluding the case
• Adverse events can be reported
• Boolean searches (and, or, not) on all fields will be possible
• Advanced statistical analysis will help to suggest the best possible remedies and their

specific symptom clusters, based on successes as well as on failures
