Speakers

Dr. Marc Lluis Clapers: medical doctor and homeopath based in Barcelona. His day-to-day work is homeopathic consultations, however over the last year he has been building HomAI. HomAI is a clinician-first assistant that combines a customized trained AI model with homeopathic data plus retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to link each patient’s symptoms directly to source materia medica. HomAI supports a strictly unicist approach with clear, cited fragments to provide fast and verified case reflection tools for practitioners.

Title of his presentation: Marc will present his work on HomAI.

Alastair Gray teaches at and heads up the academic, operations, course development, research and learning technologies departments at the Academy of Homeopathy Education. In addition, he holds various consulting roles: academic (Endeavour College, Australia and College of Health and Homeopathy, NZ), educational (National Centre for Integrative Medicine, UK), as well as consulting to many organizations on e-learning world-wide.

Title of his presentation: AI in homeopathic practice

Georgina Pfrang holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and a Master’s degree in Media Studies. She currently works in IT Communications for a global software company, focusing on making digital tools and technologies accessible and understandable for diverse audiences. Given her background in media and communication, she is particularly interested in how technologies such as AI are influenced by human choices and values, and how their design and use can reflect, reinforce or challenge social inequalities.

Title of her presentation: An Introduction to AI: Understanding it’s Potential and Risks

Dr. Yubraj Sharma completed his medical training in 1991 at Oxford University and King’s College Hospital London, UK. After a few years in hospital medicine, he trained at the Royal London Homeopathic hospital, receiving his homeopathic qualification in 1996. He has a busy private integrative medicine practice in London and runs four practitioner level courses in Homoeopathy, Esoteric/Medical Astrology, Herbal medicine and Healing. He is the author of 4 books within the fields of homeopathy, spirituality and meditation. He uses anthroposophical medicine and spiritual philosophy as an integral part of his practice. He is the Medical Dean and Responsible officer (for GMC revalidation) at the Faculty of Homeopathy (UK).

Title of his presentation: Pitfalls and problems using AI in Homeopathy:   esoteric considerations. A philosophical analysis of the limits and dangers of AI using concepts from anthroposophy and spirituality.

Dr Alexander Tournier studied Physics at Imperial College (BSc First Class), and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University, before writing his PhD on the Biophysics of water at the interface with biological molecules at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He also holds a degree in homeopathy from the Center for Homeopathic Education, London.

From 2004, Dr Tournier worked for 10 years at Cancer Research UK as a researcher working on problems at the interface between biology, physics and mathematics. As head of the Mathematical Modelling Unit he worked in the field of computer modelling of microbiological systems with world leaders in molecular biology research.

In 2007, Dr Tournier founded the Homeopathy Research Institute to promote high-quality research in homeopathy. The HRI is also dedicated to communicating about this oft-discarded field of research beyond usual academic circles. The HRI’s website is currently the largest and most visited resource on homeopathy research online. The HRI holds international conferences on homeopathy research.

Dr Tournier directed the Water Research Lab in Heidelberg, Germany, which aimed to investigate some of the more difficult questions within homeopathy research, namely the crucial issues surrounding the still little-understood physico-chemical mode of action of homeopathic preparations.

Dr Tournier is currently a research associate at the Institute of Complementary and Integrative Medicine (IKIM), Faculty of Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland, where he pursues basic and fundamental research into homeopathy, supervising several PhD students entering the field.

Title of his presentation: AI as powerful Assistant rather than nebulous Oracle’.

I’ll show the different ways AI is currently emerging and how AI can be used constructively in homeopathy as a powerful assistant and help with many of the challenges we face in the field at the moment.

Dr Daniel Wrzałko is a general practitioner and homeopath from Poland. He serves as President of the Polish Homeopathic Society, General Secretary of the European Committee for Homeopathy, and is actively involved in international collaboration, education, and research on homeopathy.
