Why paper genograms accumulate
Most clinicians draw genograms by hand during intake or early sessions — it is faster than switching between a client conversation and a software interface. The problem comes later. Hand-drawn genograms are not searchable, cannot be updated without redrawing, and are difficult to include in electronic records. Over time, client folders accumulate paper diagrams that hold valuable family history but are effectively inaccessible for ongoing clinical work.
The same problem appears on whiteboards in supervision rooms and consultation spaces. A genogram sketched during case review disappears when someone erases the board. AI image conversion changes this: take a phone photo before the board is cleared, upload it, and the diagram becomes an editable canvas with a persistent cloud copy in under five minutes.
Inherited case files present a third scenario. When a client transfers to a new clinician, paper genograms created by the previous provider often arrive as photocopies or scanned PDFs. Manually recreating that multi-generational history is time-consuming. Image-to-canvas conversion gives the receiving clinician an editable starting point they can update immediately rather than rebuilding from scratch.
FAQ
What types of images work best?+
Clear photos taken in good lighting work well — pencil or pen sketches, dry-erase whiteboard genograms, printed templates with handwritten notes, and scanned PDFs. The AI handles varying line quality, informal symbol conventions, and perspective distortion from phone photos.
Does it preserve genogram symbols like deceased markers and relationship types?+
Yes. The AI recognizes standard genogram symbols: squares (male), circles (female), X marks (deceased), double lines (divorced), dashed lines (separated), and common emotional relationship indicators. You can verify and adjust in the canvas after conversion.
Is the uploaded image stored?+
Images are processed server-side and not retained after the conversion completes. The resulting editable canvas is stored in your encrypted account library, not the original photograph.
Can I use this for ecomaps too?+
Yes — the same image-upload workflow works for hand-drawn ecomaps. Upload a photo of a paper ecomap and GenogramAI rebuilds it with Hartman-standard line styles in an editable canvas.
