Smart software for precision medicine
®
PhenoTips® is a web-based EHR (electronic health record) system for phenotype-centric rare disease patient investigations. Leveraging the power of data standardization and refined user interfaces, it offers clinicians significant gains in investigative precision and efficiency.

PhenoTips® integrates with other enterprise IT systems and clinical information systems using standardized communication protocols, including a comprehensive REST API.
On-the-cloud, on-site, or a combination of both — we have a deployment solution that matches your institution's IT needs.
PhenoTips® is an open-source project that is free for use by individuals and institutions. As open-source software, PhenoTips® is mature and reliable, refined by the continuous scrutiny of a diverse set of contributors, and through many variations and iterations of real-world usage. It has an active, vibrant community that contributes new features and bug fixes on a regular basis.
Gene42 handles the complex aspects of institutional PhenoTips® deployments, including the challenges surrounding privacy, security, reliability, and integration with other IT systems.
In order to enable integration with third-party commercial software, PhenoTips® is also offered under a commercial license.
Gene42’s story began when a group of computational biology researchers at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children set out to develop new computer-based methods for linking phenotypes (physical symptoms) to genotypes (genetic characteristics).
After realizing that the real research challenge lay in the collection of standardized, structured phenotype data, they started to build the software that would eventually become PhenoTips®. Before long, PhenoTips was in use at dozens of institutions worldwide, each with its own unique resources and requirements. Gene42 was formed to provide the support and consulting necessary to enable mass adoption of PhenoTips® in clinical settings.
Today, PhenoTips® sits at the centre of global rare-disease data-sharing networks, most notably PhenomeCentral, which allows clinicians at different institutions to find additional cases of the same unnamed disorder, from anywhere in the world.
