Boger [iPhone]

The App offers users the capacity to repertorise symptoms using jointly CM Boger's 3 repertories: General Analysis (GA), Synoptic Key (SK) and Boger-Boenninghausen (BB). The general part of Times of remedies was appended to Boger-Boenninghausen. These repertories are in English only. Polar rubrics are available to help search for the best indicated remedy. The grades of the remedies are standardised throughout GA, SK and BB so that users can select rubrics from any of these repertories for repertorisation. The Boenninghausen's grading system with 4 levels is used. The Kent-type 3 levels grading system originally found in GA and SK has been converted to this 4 levels system.

There are 5 main pages:

1) Search page:
• Enter a combination of (bits of) words to reach the searched rubrics. Select them with a Touch. A minimum of 2 successive characters is required to give a correct search. The space character stands for the logical AND operator whereas the coma stands for the OR operator. OR takes priority over AND. Here is a complex example of search: foreh,occip heav,press load.
• Enter Edit mode to modify a rubric's name and its remedies list in the currently selected repertory. This repertory is indicated with the abbreviation GA, SK or BB in the upper title bar.
• Enter Perso where you can create your own repertories, add your own chapters and rubrics with their remedies lists. In Perso you have the possibility of setting your own polar rubrics. You can also easily copy a rubric with all its remedies from any repertory and paste it in Perso. The Perso data are saved in iCloud and are so available on your iPhone, iPad and Mac silicon.

2) Selection page
• Manage the rubrics previously selected in the Search page: Eliminating rubric, combination of rubrics (union or intersection of remedies sets), modify polar status, show chapter (in case the rubric name alone is not explicit), rename rubric, reorder the list of rubrics, delete rubric.

3) Evaluation page
• Display the Evaluation grid with contraindications. Touching the Polarity header shows its maximal value in the grid. Touching a remedy header shows the complete name of the remedies and its place in the grid.

4) Options page:
• Lists of remedies: you can append or withdraw remedies. There are 4 lists of remedies corresponding to the remedies found in the 3 Boger's repertories plus an extended list which contains the remedies found in all these repertories. It is possible to restore a list of remedies to its original state.
• Browse the currently selected repertory.
• Restore a repertory to its original state.
• Modify the font sizes and other parameters of the Search, Selection and Evaluation pages.
• Manage the Contraindications facility
• Manage the priorities sequence used in the Evaluation page.
• Hide the cross-references to see clearer the rubrics names. It is especially important in the Evaluation grid where the room of the first column containing the rubric's name is limited.
• Activate Visible Touch. This feature is useful when showing the use of the App to others.
• Contact us and rate the App.

5) Patients database.
• It is possible to register the patient's personnel and clinical data, to create consultations and record the list of rubrics of the current Selection page. A recorded list of rubrics can later be sent back to the Selection page for possible further modifications before being displayed in the Evaluation grid. These data are synchronised via iCloud so that you can find them on your iPhone, iPad and Mac silicon.
