Comparison

Family Stork vs FamGenix:
different questions, different tools.

Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. FamGenix asks: "What diseases run in my family?" Family Stork asks: "Where are my family's health records — and can they arrive automatically?" Both are worth answering. Here's how they differ.

The Core Difference

Genetic risk mapping vs. day-to-day health records

FamGenix is a pedigree and genetic risk assessment tool built for hereditary disease screening. Clinicians embed FamGenix modules into their EHR systems to collect family health histories and generate medically relevant pedigrees. A free consumer app lets you map your family tree — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins — record which diseases each person has had, and assess hereditary risk for conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It's designed to help you and your doctor make proactive screening decisions.

Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline for every person in your family — a child from birth, yourself, or a parent you help care for. It holds the day-to-day records — checkups, vaccines, growth charts, allergies, medications, lab results, discharge papers — from every provider, in one place, arriving automatically through one private email address.

In short: FamGenix looks backward across your family tree to predict hereditary risk. Family Stork looks forward along each person's life — your child, your aging parent, or your own — to keep every record in one place.

FAMILY STORK

Lifelong health timeline

One person, one record. Every checkup, vaccine, allergy, growth measurement, lab result, and discharge summary on one chronological timeline — for a child, yourself, or an aging parent.

One email address, all providers. Give any clinic the person's private Family Stork address (shown on the record at families.familystork.com) — they email records and the timeline files them. No portals, no uploads.

Paper + digital. Snap paper records; the AI reads and files them automatically.

Ask questions. "When was her last flu shot?" or "What medications is Dad on?" Grounded answers from the actual record.

Emergency card + Family Health Passport. Shareable, printable, revocable — medications and allergies for any care team, babysitter, or travel.

Every stage of life. A child's record transfers to them at adulthood. An aging parent's record keeps every sibling on the same page.

$99/year — or about $10 a month.

Different Layers of the Same Story

Your family's past vs. each person's ongoing health story

FamGenix helps you understand what runs in the family — the genetic risks traced through your family tree. That's valuable context for conversations with any doctor about screening and prevention.

Family Stork holds what's actually happening day to day for each person you care about. For your child: the shots, the ear infection last month, the growth curve. For your aging parent: discharge papers, medication lists, specialist notes scattered across five doctors. For yourself: a complete record ready for a new doctor or a second opinion.

One maps the terrain your family was born into. The other keeps the journal of each person's journey.

The bottom line

FamGenix and Family Stork answer different questions. FamGenix looks across generations to flag hereditary risk — and it does that well, especially through its clinical integrations with healthcare systems. Family Stork looks along each person's life to keep every record in one place, arriving automatically through one email address clinics already know how to use.

If you care about both — and you probably should — they complement each other well. Know what runs in the family. And make sure every record from every doctor, for every person you love, is in one place when you need it.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can FamGenix and Family Stork work together?

Yes. FamGenix maps hereditary risk across your family tree. Family Stork holds your child's day-to-day records — checkups, vaccines, growth, allergies. They answer different questions and complement each other well.

Does FamGenix store my medical records?

No. FamGenix records which diseases family members have had for hereditary risk assessment — it generates pedigree charts, not clinical timelines. It does not store visit summaries, lab results, or vaccine records. Family Stork handles that — and the record builds itself when clinics email the private Family Stork address shown on the person's record.

Is FamGenix free?

FamGenix offers a free consumer app. For healthcare providers, FamGenix offers white-label pedigree modules and enterprise licensing for clinical EHR integration. Family Stork is free forever to organize; $99 per year — or about $10 a month — for the full service across all three TruePrime apps.

Which is better for tracking vaccinations?

FamGenix does not track vaccinations — it maps hereditary disease risk. Family Stork holds every immunization record alongside checkups, growth charts, and more — and clinics can send vaccine records directly to the person's private Family Stork address.

Can Family Stork help with aging parents, not just children?

Yes. Family Stork holds a record for anyone — a child from birth, yourself, or a parent you help care for. For aging parents: one record for every doctor, every sibling, every hospital stay. Discharge papers, medication lists, the emergency card. Learn more about caring for an aging parent's records →

How It Works

One email address. That's it.

Every person gets one private Family Stork address (shown on the person's record at families.familystork.com). Give it to any clinic, lab, or hospital. They email records to it — visit summaries, test results, vaccine updates, discharge papers — and the timeline files them automatically. No portal logins. No uploads. Nothing for the clinic to learn.

One health story. One email address every clinic already knows how to use.

Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically. One timeline for your child, your aging parent, or yourself.
