Technology is quietly reshaping how homeopaths connect with their patients, and Marco Ruggeri is helping lead that shift with his Similia Homeopathic Software. In our conversation, Marco shares how this modern repertorization tool uses real-time transcription, AI-driven rubric suggestions, and even photo analysis to help practitioners stay fully present during consultations. We also explore Similia’s timeline feature, which visually maps a patient’s symptom history, along with the inclusion of major repertories designed to support both new and experienced homeopaths. The episode offers a thoughtful look at how technology can support—not replace—the human connection at the heart of homeopathic care.
