“Maria (42) presents with a conflicted relationship with her mother Rosa (68, hypertension)…” A session note or intake summary is enough.
Creately Clinical Maps · Family and relationship mapping Live · Clinical-grade
AI-drafted, practitioner-confirmed genograms, health histories, and social work maps.
Turn your session notes into standard-notation genograms with Creately Clinical Maps. Capture family structure, health history, relationships, and cultural and social context in one workspace. AI drafts the map; nothing enters the record until you review and confirm it.

From note to structure
Gaps hide in paragraphs. On a genogram, you can see them.
An unnamed father, a sibling nobody mentioned again, a condition that appears in two generations — in prose these are easy to miss. Drawn in standard notation, they are visible in seconds. The AI does the drawing; the clinician does the checking.
Standard notation is drawn from the note — every person, relationship, and health condition traceable to the line it came from.
“Sibling relationship lacks parent evidence for both nodes.” Confirm it, correct it, or discard it — an inference never silently becomes part of the record.
A treatment-planning summary and suggested follow-ups sit beside the confirmed genogram. Export a court-ready report when you need one.
Clinical field packs and views
One family model. The lens each discipline needs.
The genogram is a view over the family model — switch the lens without redrawing the family.
Gender-inclusive, medical, and cultural symbol packs on top of standard McGoldrick-style notation.
Conditions ring each person, so inheritance patterns — diabetes on the maternal line, cardiac history on the paternal — read at a glance.
Conflict, closeness, estrangement, and caregiving lines over the same structure — the emotional map family therapy runs on.
A treatment-planning summary, suggested follow-ups, and open questions — generated from the confirmed structure, not from the chat.
Clean PDF reports with clinician metadata, suitable for case files, supervision, and court documentation.
Share a case with a supervisor or care team with role-based access — comments and presence, without emailing files around.

Common questions from clinicians and practitioners
What practitioners ask before documenting a family system.
- What is Creately Clinical Maps?
- Creately Clinical Maps is a visual tool for documenting family structure, relationships, and relevant clinical, health, social, cultural, legal, and research context. Practitioners can draw a genogram or draft one from notes, then review and edit the people, connections, field data, observations, and reports.
- What does Creately Clinical Maps support?
- Creately Clinical Maps supports clinical genograms, medical and genetic history maps, therapy and counseling maps, social work case maps, legal and guardianship maps, cultural background maps, research datasets, teaching examples, and large family-history diagrams.
- Is Creately Clinical Maps only for genograms?
- No. Genograms are the core visual model, but Creately Clinical Maps also supports health views, relationship overlays, field packs, AI-assisted intake mapping, structured reports, research exports, anonymized teaching exports, and collaboration workflows for clinical, social, legal, educational, and research contexts.
- What is the difference between Creately Clinical Maps and family tree software?
- Family tree software focuses on ancestry and family connections. Creately Clinical Maps adds clinical notation, emotional relationships, health information, and practitioner-oriented views to help document a family system. Those views support professional review and do not provide a diagnosis.
- Can Creately Clinical Maps create a draft from intake notes?
- Creately Clinical Maps can draft a family diagram from pasted text or uploaded PDF, Word, and text documents. Practitioners review the proposed people and relationships, correct uncertain details, and confirm the result before relying on it in their work.
- Who is Creately Clinical Maps built for?
- Creately Clinical Maps supports therapists, counselors, social workers, genetic counselors, medical professionals, legal and estate planning teams, researchers, educators, and care teams that need structured family-system documentation.
- Which field packs are available in Creately Clinical Maps?
- Creately Clinical Maps includes field packs for base person details, medical and genetic data, family therapy, social work, legal and estate context, and general research. Teams can activate the packs relevant to their workflow without forcing every field into every map.
- How is Creately Clinical Maps priced?
- Clinical Maps pricing depends on your Creately subscription and the drawing, analysis, reporting, and export capabilities required. Check current plans or contact the Clinical Maps team to confirm the features and protected-data arrangements needed for your practice.
- Is Creately Clinical Maps secure and HIPAA compliant?
- Creately states that it maintains HIPAA compliance, alongside ISO 27001 certification and a completed SOC 2 Type II audit. Creately Clinical Maps uses the platform’s data protection and access controls. Review the security overview and confirm your organization’s agreement and setup before using protected health information.
- How does Creately Clinical Maps handle PHI, access control, and clinical exports?
- Creately Clinical Maps uses diagram and folder permissions to restrict case access, including read-only sharing for reviewers. Clinical reporting supports clinical case files, health and risk summaries, relationship-dynamics summaries, legal or forensic reports, session snapshots, anonymized teaching exports, and structured data in formats such as PDF, DOCX, CSV, JSON, SVG, PNG, and JPEG. Review the identifiers included in an export and distribute clinical files only through channels approved by your organization.
Structure a clinician can check
Reviewing a genogram takes minutes. Re-reading the file does not.
Bring the intake note, confirm the structure, and keep the family system — and what the AI inferred from it — visible and in your hands.
