Clificol

Clificol is an internet-based database designed to collect clinical cases of homeopaths around the world.

It is supported by all major homeopathic organisations worldwide, is fully GDPR compliant and free-to-access for homeopathic practitioners, who are encouraged to share their cases and experiences on the platform. The database enables the description of clusters of common symptoms per remedy for common complaints, which will help practitioners enhance their daily practice.

The Clificol project gathered over clinical 2000 cases during the COVID-19 period, beyond providing statistics reflecting how the pandemic was handled in different countries following their specific situation, the project enabled us to study homoeopathy-specific concepts such as the ‘Genus Epidemicus’, and ‘individualisation’. A lot of knowledge was gathered on how to gather and use such data in the future, and on the notion of ‘noise’ in this context.
