Homœo Consult is an AI-assisted tool for classical symptom repertorisation following the method of Hahnemann and Bönninghausen. It is designed for experienced homoeopaths seeking methodically sound, reproducible support in the repertorisation process.
The programme is not a decision-making automaton. It is a thinking tool — it helps to capture symptom signs systematically and to develop a well-founded simile on this basis.
Methodological basis: The principle of §153 — the striking, characteristic feature as the highest-weighted criterion in remedy selection — comes from Hahnemann himself (Organon) and stands above the entire system. Building on this, Bönninghausen structured every symptom into four core elements: Localisation, Sensation, Modality and Concomitants. Homœo Consult extends this analytical base with Mind (§210ff), Side and NWS (Never Well Since) — as a practical synthesis of the Hahnemannian line. Mental symptoms are included as one of the signs, not as a hierarchically dominant category in Kent's sense. Kent and his derivatives (Synthesis, Complete Repertory) are deliberately not integrated.
Starting from the leading motif §153 (the striking, peculiar feature), Homœo Consult additionally captures every symptom in seven signs: Bönninghausen's four core elements, plus three signs introduced by Dr. Loder. These appear as tooltips directly beside the input fields:
| Sign | Origin | Meaning / Input |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Bönninghausen | Where exactly the complaint occurs |
| Sensation | Bönninghausen | How the symptom feels (burning, stabbing, dull …) |
| Modality | Bönninghausen | What ameliorates or aggravates it |
| Concomitant | Bönninghausen | What accompanies the main complaint |
| Mind | Dr. Loder's extension (§210 ff.) | Mental state, character traits, desires/aversions |
| Side | Dr. Loder's extension | Preferred body side, migration, crossed symptoms |
| NWS | Dr. Loder's extension | Never Well Since — trigger of illness onset |
§153 — Peculiar is an additional, eighth field: the striking, uncommon feature of the case (per Organon §153), which always carries the highest weight in repertorization — independent of the seven signs.
The quality of repertorisation depends directly on the precision of modality input. Distinguish consistently between amelioration and aggravation and note the context (warmth, cold, motion, rest, time of day, weather).
The peculiar, rare, striking sign is methodologically the most valuable. Enter here what cannot be explained pathophysiologically — the sign that distinguishes this patient from a hundred others with a similar diagnosis.
All fields support voice input. This allows fluid entry during the consultation without switching between patient and screen.
Homœo Consult is available as a web application without installation directly at homoeoconsult.ch, and as an Android app via Google Play. The app runs on all modern devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone).
Patient data remains locally on your device (LocalStorage). No patient data is transmitted to servers. AI requests for repertorisation contain only the entered symptoms — no patient identification.
