Multiple steps
A patient may move from a panel to an exome, then reanalysis. Results and decisions build on one another over time.
The workspace for genetic care journeys
Cascagen is the software that enables medical genetics teams to manage family screening from end to end.
When a genetic variant is identified in a patient, teams need to identify at-risk relatives, reconstruct the family tree, contact them, obtain their consent, arrange tests, track results and sometimes maintain follow-up for years.
Today, this coordination remains complex and may rely on scattered tools and manual processes.
Cascagen brings together the family, pedigree, screening campaigns, tests, consents, reminders and clinical decisions in a single secure and traceable workflow.
Cascagen replaces neither the EHR nor the laboratory: it orchestrates everything around them to turn an individual genetic result into a complete family care journey.
One patient. One family. Continuity of care.

A short look at how Cascagen connects data, families, and clinical genetics teams.
The everyday reality
In genetics, follow-up rarely ends with a result.
Care journeys are long, non-linear and family-centred. Multiple consultations, successive tests, weeks of waiting, an MDT discussion… then ongoing care and new journeys for relatives.
A genetic result is part of a human story: that of a person and their loved ones, with their questions, expectations and need for support. This story evolves through consultations, tests and advances in medical knowledge. It can involve several members of a family and require renewed attention long after diagnosis.
Cascagen’s purpose is to help genetics teams maintain this continuity. By connecting clinical information to decisions and the actions to take, the software helps professionals coordinate their work and makes the next steps of each journey visible.
Designed as a specialist module of the electronic health record, Cascagen places each person’s follow-up within their family context and over time. Patients and relatives thus have distinct but connected journeys that teams can revisit and adapt over the years. Our commitment: to give them the means to sustain each person’s care, without leaving a process unfinished or anyone lost to follow-up.

Multiple journeys
Each relative progresses at their own pace, with their own consultations, consents, tests and actions.
Multiple years
A new analysis or reinterpretation can bring a record back into focus long after diagnosis.
Know what has been done, what remains to do, for whom, by whom and when.
