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 one 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 c ode”), 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 swa b 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 Version 200727 www.clificol.net info@clificol.net
