About us

The GenogramAI team

We build AI-powered genogram tools grounded in clinical best practices. Our content team develops resources verified against the McGoldrick-Gerson-Petry conventions and peer-reviewed family systems literature.

Updated October 2026

Who we are

GenogramAI is built by a product and clinical-content team. Our notation follows the conventions described by McGoldrick, Gerson and Petry, our clinical pages are checked against published literature and professional standards, and product facts on the site are checked against the app itself. GenogramAI is independent and not affiliated with those authors.

Our content policy

Clinical Accuracy

Genogram notation, symbol meanings, and clinical applications are verified against McGoldrick-Gerson-Petry 4th edition (2020) and peer-reviewed literature. We do not make diagnostic claims or provide clinical advice.

YMYL Health Content

As a health and medical information publisher, we follow Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) guidelines. Educational content about family therapy tools is written to inform, not to replace, professional clinical judgment.

Regular Review

Clinical content pages are reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect current professional standards. Review dates are documented in page metadata.

Transparent Limitations

GenogramAI is a documentation and visualization tool. It does not perform clinical assessment, diagnosis, or therapy. Users should work with licensed professionals for clinical applications.
