"When I developed the first Cara
system back in 1981 I had no idea what
would result. Cara started as a software
system for the Royal London Homeopathic
Hospital who wanted to repertorise using
Kent's Repertory. In those early days
I worked closely with Dr Michael Jenkins
and we worked hard to make Cara easy
to use. In fact the name chosen, Cara,
means 'friendly' in Gaelic. Throughout
the 80's and 90's Cara continued to
develop and grow. During this time Cara
gained the reputation of being really
easy to use and a cost-effective way
of getting started with homeopathic
computer software.
Subsequent upgrades and developments
saw it transform into a software tool
used by thousands of homeopaths all
over the world.
At
the start of the 21st century I decided
the time was right to create a new homeopathic
software program. This work has taken
2 years of my life and has been named
ISIS. ISIS is the first genuinely new
homeopathic software product that has
been released for many years. Although
homeopathy has been well served by the
various software products available,
all of them were originally written
many years ago. Even
relatively old computers have much greater
capabilities than are being used. And
of course homoeopaths are becoming more
sophisticated in their demands of their
software as they realise the possibilities.
We
know that most homoeopaths use only
a limited part of their software (even
with Cara which many believe to be the
simplest to use) because it is difficult
or complex. So when designing ISIS I
have ensured that even greater ease
of use was the top priority. I wanted
to create something visually appealing
that homeopaths would enjoy using every
day. A programme where it is easy to
get around from one feature to another
without having to memorise a complex
route - and where as much information
as possible is on the screen at one
time. And I wanted to offer homoeopaths
the opportunity to use their computer
to analyse their cases using the models
developed recently by some of the masters
of homoeopathy.
You
can start using ISIS as soon as it is
installed, and get terrific results.
Then as time goes by and as your knowledge
and practice develops ISIS will support
your journey. Even though we have a
great many homoeopathic friends who
share their thinking with us, ISIS has
been designed to give the flexibility
to work as you wish, and aims to enrich
your homeopathic practice. I hope you
enjoy ISIS ! |
