Who is Cardea Charts designed for?

Cardea Charts is pedigree chart software designed primarily for clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, and laboratory geneticists who create family pedigrees as part of patient care and genetic risk assessment. We also provide dedicated features for animal breeders and veterinary geneticists.

Will it integrate with my EHR system?

HL7 FHIR R4 integration is planned, with Epic and Cerner as priority systems. This will enable bi-directional sync — pulling patient records into your pedigree and exporting completed charts back to the hospital system.

Is there a free trial?

Early access registrants will be among the first to try Cardea Charts when it launches. We're committed to offering a trial period so clinical teams can evaluate the software before committing. Pricing details will be shared with registrants before public launch.

What pedigree standards does it support?

The drawing engine follows standard pedigree nomenclature used in clinical genetics, consistent with NSGC recommendations. This includes standard symbols — squares for males, circles for females, diamonds for unknown sex — with standard shading conventions for affected, carrier, and deceased individuals.
