title: A web-based family health record supporting genealogical clinical anamnesis.
abstract: We developed "Family Pathology", a Web-based system that allows recording and evaluating the clinical data of a patient and his/her relatives. The goal is to enable a physician to identify not only an occurred disease and the prescribed medications, but also its possible recurrence within the patients family in order to highlight possible genealogical pathologies and risk factors.
