About the framework
Three-Generation Genogram Framework
This template applies the genogram framework to a three-generation family map with health history annotations — the standard scope used in family medicine intake, genetic counseling, and family therapy assessments. While a basic genogram captures names and relationships, a three-generation health genogram adds a critical clinical layer: hereditary conditions, chronic diseases, and causes of death that reveal intergenerational health patterns.
The three-generation scope is deliberate. Genetic counselors and family physicians use this range because most hereditary patterns — cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer predispositions, and mental health conditions — become visible across three generations. One generation shows individual cases; three generations reveal patterns that inform screening recommendations and preventive care.
The layout follows standard genogram notation: squares for males, circles for females, horizontal lines for partnerships, and vertical lines for parent-child connections. Health annotations appear within or beside each node, making the genogram a single-page clinical reference. Use the AI to add specific conditions, mark deceased members, indicate relationship quality, or extend the genogram to include adoptive or blended family structures.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
How do I add specific health conditions to each family member?
Describe the conditions to the AI: 'Add Type 2 diabetes to Grandfather (paternal), hypertension to Grandmother (maternal), and asthma to two of the children.' The AI will annotate each node with the relevant health history.
Can I extend this beyond three generations?
Yes. Ask the AI to 'Add a fourth generation — great-grandparents on the paternal side with heart disease and stroke history.' The layout will expand upward to accommodate additional generations while maintaining standard notation.
Is this template suitable for genetic counseling sessions?
It follows standard genogram notation and provides a solid starting point for genetic counseling. Customize it with patient-specific data during the session. For formal clinical records, verify the output meets your institution's documentation standards.
How do I show divorced or remarried family members?
Standard genogram notation uses specific line styles for divorce and remarriage. Ask the AI to 'Show a divorce between the maternal grandparents and a remarriage for the grandmother.' It will apply the correct notation with separate partnership lines.
