Daffodil helps Synergy Homeopathy to develop a homeopathy software with 700 volumes of digital materia medica

Team Daffodil started by working on the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of the solution. As our team progressed through the assessment, a number of issues at the performance, UI/UX, and database-level were discovered. Our team rectified the issues through selection of right technology and approach in the least time possible.

A UI with new navigational elements, informational elements, and input control was designed for easy access to the materia medica. The new UI was designed in a way that the homeopaths could easily search for rubrics, view rubric information, have in-app access to the books, can filter out remedies, apply the advanced search for information, etc. Along with this, the new UI allowed managing the patients and cases effectively in a Patient Management System (PMS).

At the performance level, several improvements in the solution were done to refine the search. 

• The users could perform a direct search, can look for a word within two words, within a sentence/paragraph, can search for information using synonyms/antonyms, etc. 
• The content written in books is available as text files, and searching for data in a text file is a time-consuming process. To deal with the problem, the team maintained OFFSET keywords for the words that are searched often. 
• The users can filter out information by searching for it by remedies, sub-rubrics, authors, kingdom, etc. 

Daffodil also developed a PMS module that enables the homeopaths to digitally manage the patients’ data and access it for further reference. The PMS stores information, such as personal data of the patient, consultation date, attachments (if any), previous treatments, symptoms, prescription, medicine potency, etc. The homeopaths can refer to the saved cases and even share them with other homeopaths for reference or case study.

Some of the other highlights of the solution include:

• Users can translate book content, can read them by opening them in new tabs, view two books simultaneously on a screen by splitting the window. Keeping security into consideration, the books are encrypted when stored and are decrypted before the user accesses them.
• Users can look out for remedies related to brain, vertigo, head, heart, nose, face, respiration, cough, and other 150+ related problems. The users can view rubrics and salts, detailed information of salts used in remedy, and move this info into the clipboard. 
• The content moved to the clipboard is presented in graphical format using ReactJS modules.
