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 child'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 family health history tool built around hereditary risk assessment. You map your family tree — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins — and record which diseases each person has had. FamGenix then assesses your genetic risk for conditions like breast 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 your child. It holds the day-to-day records — checkups, vaccines, growth charts, allergies, medications, lab results — from every provider, in one place, from birth until your child takes ownership at 18.

In short: FamGenix looks backward across your family tree to predict risk. Family Stork looks forward along your child's life to keep the record whole.

Different Layers of the Same Story

Your family's past vs. your child's future

FamGenix helps you understand what your child might inherit — the genetic risks that run through your family tree. That's valuable context for conversations with your pediatrician about screening and prevention.

Family Stork holds what's actually happening day to day — the shots they got, the ear infection last month, the growth curve the pediatrician is tracking, the allergy discovered at age three. It's the living record of your child's health as it unfolds.

One maps the terrain your child was born into. The other keeps the journal of the journey.

When You'd Use Each

Scenarios that make the difference clear

🧬

"My mom had breast cancer. Should I tell my doctor?"

FamGenix. Map your family's cancer history, assess hereditary risk, and share the pedigree with your doctor to discuss screening options.

📋

"School needs immunization records by Friday."

Family Stork. Open the timeline, find every vaccine date from every provider, share or print the record. No calling three clinics.

🧬

"Does diabetes run in our family?"

FamGenix. Record which relatives have had diabetes, and the app assesses your family's hereditary risk profile.

📋

"We moved and need to bring records to the new pediatrician."

Family Stork. The timeline holds everything from the old clinic. Share it with the new provider — no faxes, no missing records, no gaps.

🧬

"My uncle and grandfather both had heart disease."

FamGenix. Pedigree analysis helps you and your doctor decide if earlier cardiac screening makes sense for your child.

📋

"My daughter turns 18 next year. How does she get her records?"

Family Stork. Ownership transfers to her at adulthood. Eighteen years of health history, in her hands, portable for life.

The bottom line

FamGenix and Family Stork answer different questions. FamGenix looks across generations to flag hereditary risk. Family Stork looks along one child's life to keep every record in one place. If you care about both — and you probably should — they complement each other well.

Ask your pediatrician which hereditary conditions to screen for. And ask yourself: if you had to hand your child every health record from their first eighteen years, could you do it today?

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 child's medical records?

No. FamGenix records which diseases family members have had for risk assessment. It does not store visit summaries, lab results, or vaccine records. Family Stork handles that — and the record builds itself when clinics email your private @familystork address.

Is FamGenix free?

FamGenix is a free app. Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month — for a lifelong health timeline that receives records from any clinic automatically.

Which is better for tracking vaccinations?

FamGenix does not track vaccinations. Family Stork holds every immunization record alongside checkups, growth charts, and more — and clinics can send vaccine records directly to your child's @familystork email address.
