AI Tool for Family History Collection

Let your AI agent handle the tedious work of extracting and organizing family medical histories, so you can focus on patient consultations and clinical decisions.

You’re stuck copying details from scanned PDFs, EHR exports, and handwritten notes into Excel or Epic, double-checking for missing information. As a genetic counselor, you lose hours each week to repetitive documentation, worried about missing critical hereditary risk factors. The paperwork keeps you late, while your real expertise goes underused.

An AI agent that collects, summarizes, and flags key details in patient and family medical histories for genetic counselors, reducing manual work and errors.

What this replaces

Copy family history from Epic into Excel summaries
Transcribe interview notes from paper forms into digital reports
Highlight hereditary risk factors manually in patient records
Format family history documentation for tumor board meetings
Track missing information for follow-up using email and sticky notes

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In healthcare, genetic counselors spend 2-2.5 hours every week transcribing and organizing family medical histories from patient records, emails, and interview notes. Manually extracting details from Epic, scanned forms, and handwritten pedigrees is slow and error-prone. The constant back-and-forth to fill gaps wastes time and increases the risk of missing important genetic patterns. Without automation, counselors face burnout and delayed case reviews.
