In a context where access to care is becoming increasingly difficult, especially for those who want a complementary approach based on homeopathy, Homeoco was designed to offer an innovative solution and respond to a growing need for accessibility.
Homeoco is much more than just a tool to help select homeopathic remedies: it represents a modern response to the growing scarcity of homeopathic doctors, a way of democratising individualised homeopathy thanks to artificial intelligence, and even a potential tool for clinical research.
So, why did we create Homeoco?
Increasingly difficult accessibility: fewer doctors, fewer homeopaths
A worsening medical shortage in France
The number of general practitioners in France has been decreasing for 30 years:
- 1990: 16.5 general practitioners per 10,000 inhabitants
- 2021: 14.3 GPs per 10,000 inhabitants
- 2022: 46% of GPs were over 55, signalling a massive retirement wave
The situation is even more critical in rural and peri-urban areas, where access to healthcare is becoming a real obstacle course.
An even more pronounced scarcity of homeopathic doctors
- 2004 : Around 5,000 qualified homeopathic doctors in France
- 2019: Only 1,700 practising doctors
- 2021: After the removal from the list of reimbursed treatments of homeopathic treatments, the practice becomes even more of a minority
Why this decline?
- Growing disinterest among new generations of doctors
- The gradual elimination of homeopathy teaching in medical schools
- Reduced institutional recognition, despite strong public interest
Yet homeopathy remains popular!
- 25% of French people use it regularly
- 73% believed in its benefits in 2019 (Odoxa survey)
Faced with this contradiction, Homeoco provides a solution: to give people who trust in homeopathy easier access to appropriate advice, while putting them in touch with health professionals who practise homeopathy.
Artificial intelligence at the service of a medicine that is over 200 years old
Homeopathy, which has been used for more than 200 years, is based on an individualised approach and a detailed analysis of physical and emotional symptoms. Today, with the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, it is possible to analyse a large number of parameters in a few seconds to offer personalised recommendations.
Why use AI in homeopathy?
- Automate the individualisation of remedies, taking into account thousands of possible combinations
- Accelerate the search for the ideal remedy, based on a comprehensive and up-to-date database
- Allow more people to access homeopathy, even if there is no practitioner nearby
Homeoco: A step forward in democratising individualised homeopathy
With Homeoco, we want to make homeopathy more accessible by relying on new technologies.
Thanks to AI, Homeoco quickly analyses the symptoms reported by the user and proposes individualised remedies, in accordance with the fundamental principles of homeopathy.
Homeoco: a potential tool for clinical research
One of the major challenges of homeopathy: the difficulty of clinical studies
Unlike conventional treatments, homeopathy is based on individualised treatment. This complicates the conduct of randomised double-blind trials, the scientific standard in modern medicine.
Why?
- Each patient receives a specific remedy based on their unique profile, which makes it difficult to compare homogeneous groups.
- The choice of remedy depends on the practitioner, which can introduce a prescriber bias.
- Funding for this type of study remains limited, as homeopathic laboratories do not have the same resources as large pharmaceutical groups.
Homeoco: a solution to facilitate clinical research?
AI could play a key role by enabling:
- Standardisation of the choice of remedies, reducing prescriber bias
- Inclusion of a greater number of patients, making studies more robust
- Faster and more accurate analysis of results, facilitating scientific recognition
By combining artificial intelligence and homeopathy, HOMEOCO could open up new perspectives in the clinical validation of homeopathic treatments.
