sACRo - series of Ayurveda Case Reports
HP Elmar Stapelfeldt MA
The sACRo project is taking shape! Already at the Symposium 2017 this register was presented to the circle of experts in the form of an online database for the collection and evaluation of Ayurveda cases. It should offer Ayurveda practitioners the possibility to research well documented Ayurveda cases and use them for difficult therapeutic questions. Series of similar cases will be scientifically evaluated and published and will serve as a basis for larger research projects.

The implementation is mainly carried out by the two project partners Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Rosenberg European Academy for Ayurveda. Thanks to the financial support of the professional associations VEAT and DÄGAM it was possible to carry out the necessary preparatory and research work last year and the basic structure of the database was programmed by a team of young computer scientists from Austria. In an elaborate consensus process, the 4 suitable clinical pictures for which the database is to be used in the pilot phase were identified (exhaustion, arthrosis, irritable bowel, rheumatoid arthritis).

If you have experience in the practical application of Ayurveda as a doctor or alternative practitioner, you are invited to participate in this expert forum. First of all, the coordinator Elmar Stapelfeldt will present the project and its current status in a vivid way. Afterwards we will discuss the next steps of the sACRo project. In particular, we will focus on which parameters are suitable to capture the mentioned disease patterns well without producing an immense input workload.
Take part in this innovative, practice-oriented research project!
