Comprehensive Health Conditions System

64 predefined medical conditions with professional categorization and optional ICD-10 hints

Free

Medical Quadrants

Main health categories displayed in visual quadrants around each person:

  • Cardiovascular - Heart disease, hypertension, stroke
  • Mental/Neuro/Substance Use - Depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, epilepsy, ADHD, dementia, alcohol & drug use disorders, gambling
  • Cancer - All major cancer types with visual differentiation
  • Metabolic/Endocrine - Diabetes, thyroid, obesity, liver disease

Outer Ring Categories

Secondary conditions displayed in the outer ring:

  • Respiratory - Asthma, COPD, pulmonary conditions
  • Autoimmune - Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS
  • Musculoskeletal - Arthritis, fibromyalgia
  • Infectious - HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, COVID-19
  • Congenital - Heart defects, spina bifida, Down syndrome
  • Developmental - Intellectual disability, developmental delay
  • Other - Hemophilia, sickle cell, cystic fibrosis

When one person has several conditions, all of them stay visible: extra conditions use free quadrants automatically (configurable), and the outer ring splits into segments.

Pro Beta

Reads Your Genogram

Analyzes the family you've built (conditions, relationships, cutoffs, life events) for patterns that repeat across generations

Grounded in the Standard

Built on the Bowen and McGoldrick family-systems approach: condition transmission, triangles, cutoffs, anniversary clusters

Hypotheses, Not Conclusions

Every flag cites the people it is based on so you can verify it. Keep the useful ones as notes and dismiss the rest. Never a diagnosis.

Names and note text are anonymized on your device before anything reaches the AI

Life Timeline

Turn your session notes into a chronological view of a client's significant life events

Free

Built From Your Notes

The Life Timeline draws on the annotations you attach to a person, so a client's story comes together as you work:

  • Capture losses, transitions, diagnoses, and relationship changes
  • Click "Add to timeline" on any note card to turn it into a dated event
  • Add events manually for anything not yet in your notes
  • Every change is fully undoable

Compact & To-Scale Views

See the whole life at a glance, or switch to true time to study the spacing between events:

  • Compact view groups events into an easy-to-read sequence
  • To-scale view positions events by their real dates
  • Smart clustering keeps crowded periods readable
  • Zoom in for detail and drag to pan across the years

Flexible Dates & Overlays

Real clinical histories are rarely precise, the timeline adapts:

  • Approximate dates (year, month, or day) or spans of time
  • Optional developmental-stage overlays (Piaget, Erikson)
  • Privacy-first AI "Suggest events from notes" (Professional), names are anonymized before any text reaches the AI
  • Like all clinical notes, life events are removed from client shares
Life Timeline, a client's life events on a true-time spine with Piaget developmental stages

Inclusive Gender Notation

Represent every family member accurately and respectfully

Free

Modern Clinical Symbols

Following McGoldrick, Gerson & Petry (4th ed.):

  • Non-binary: McGoldrick's modified gender symbol (a dome combining square and circle), selectable like any other gender
  • Unknown gender: Diamond with a "?" inside
  • Transgender: Standard shape-in-shape notation, with the outer shape always showing lived gender
  • Identity labels: Free-text identity in the client's own words, shown under the name

Faithful To The Standard

Drawn exactly as McGoldrick's 4th edition specifies:

  • A transgender person is drawn by their lived gender; the outer shape always shows who they are
  • Record a gender history per person to add the standard inner shape when clinically relevant
  • The dynamic legend explains every symbol automatically on canvas and in exports
  • Everything works in PDF/PNG/SVG exports and the AI builder
