How to Use Creately’s Medical Genogram Tool

  1. Start with a template

Open Creately and search for “medical genogram” in the template library. Choose from professionally designed layouts for genetic counseling, or assessments. This gives you a ready-made structure so you can focus on adding details instead of building from scratch.

  1. Add family members

Drag and drop symbols to represent family members, arranging them by generation—grandparents at the top, parents in the middle, children below. This makes it easy to trace hereditary and relationship patterns.

  1. Map relationships

Connect family members with standardized lines for marriages, divorces, children, and adoptions. Add emotional relationship markers to show closeness, conflict, estrangement, or abuse, revealing deeper family dynamics.

  1. Document medical history

Use built-in medical symbols to mark hereditary conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or mental health disorders. Add details such as age of onset, cause of death, and treatment history to highlight patterns clearly.

  1. Enrich with details

Include notes and annotations for lifestyle factors, case histories, or significant events. Attach medical reports, lab results, or images directly to individuals for easy reference during consultations.

  1. Customize for clarity

Adjust colors, shapes, line styles, and layouts to highlight genetic risks or group family members. Use color coding and formatting to make your genogram visually clear and easy to understand.

  1. Collaborate and share

Invite colleagues, patients, or family members to view or edit the medical genogram in real time. Work together, leave comments, and export your diagram as PDF, PNG, JPEG, or SVG for reports and presentations.
