BEVAS-aligned · Equine-first TCVM

The diagnostic record that thinks the way you diagnose.

AnimaChart turns the full TCVM examination — intake, observation, tongue, pulse, palpation, five-element, diagnosis — into seven structured steps that flow into a single living findings panel and a printable treatment plan.

The flow

Seven steps, one continuous record

Each step captures what you actually examine — nothing more — and every entry feeds the same case. Move forward when you're ready; the record fills itself in.

  1. 1

    Intake

    Signalment, vitals, owner complaint, structured IVAS history.

  2. 2

    Observation

    A horse silhouette with tappable body regions — including a dedicated hoof schema.

  3. 3

    Tongue

    Four-zone map, global qualities, and rule-based pattern suggestions.

  4. 4

    Pulse

    Quick rate & rhythm or the full six-position matrix with Kidney Yin/Yang readouts.

  5. 5

    Palpation

    Back-Shu, Mu, Ting and diagnostic points — driven by the seeded canon graph.

  6. 6

    Five Element

    A pentagonal wheel with a Sheng/Ke disturbance detector and upstream-derived hints.

  7. 7

    Diagnosis

    Eight Principles, Zang-Fu, pathogen, pattern picker, treatment plan & outcome.

What makes it powerful

Tools that do the synthesis for you

AnimaChart isn't a form — it's a reasoning surface. The interface mirrors the exam, and the connections between findings surface as you work.

Interactive body maps

Tap a region to cycle its state — body silhouette, tongue zones, the spine, the ventral view, and four hooves. Every SVG target follows the same tap-to-cycle rhythm, so charting stays fast and consistent.

Live findings panel

A right rail follows you through every step, rolling findings into per-organ summaries, active Sheng/Ke disturbances, tongue & pulse hints, and BEVAS canon prompts — updating the moment you save.

Five-Element detector

Set each element to balanced, excess, or deficient and AnimaChart flags the disturbed Sheng (generating) and Ke (controlling) relationships across the wheel automatically.

Rule-based tongue patterns

Body colour, coating and zone findings run through a transparent matcher that suggests named patterns — wired to the same pattern codes the diagnosis step picks from.

Shu · Mu · Ting canon

The seeded BEVAS point graph powers diagnostic palpation, with Trio and Shu+Mu flags that highlight when an organ shows up across multiple point families. Ting points even record per side.

Plan & printable record

Build the diagnosis from Eight Principles, Zang-Fu and pathogen axes, attach repeating treatment items and an outcome, then export a clean, shell-free PDF for the file or the owner.

The core idea

Every finding is connected to the next

In a paper record, the tongue, the pulse and the palpation findings live on separate pages. In AnimaChart they live in the same case — and the findings panel keeps showing you what they add up to, in real time.

  • Per-organ rollups with Trio and Shu+Mu flags
  • Active Sheng/Ke disturbances surfaced as you set the wheel
  • Tongue pattern suggestions and pulse Kd readouts
  • BEVAS canon hints that map each point back to its region
  • A running diagnosis snapshot you can act on

Five-Element reasoning

The wheel watches the relationships

Mark each element balanced, excess or deficient by tapping its node. AnimaChart reads the whole wheel and surfaces which generating and controlling relationships are disturbed — and pulls in suggestions from the palpation, tongue and pulse you already recorded.

Who it's for

Made for the vet practising TCVM

Equine-first, by design

The body maps, the hoof schema and the BEVAS canon are built for the horse first — with a species-discriminated schema ready for canine and feline.

A clinical document, not an app-y app

Cool, calm, paper-like surfaces and hairline structure that stays legible in the barn aisle and in direct sunlight.

Single-vet simplicity

No seats to manage, no clutter. Sign in with Google or a magic link, start a case, and chart. Autosave on every field — there are no Save buttons.

Open a case and feel the difference.

The full diagnostic workspace runs in your browser. Start charting in minutes.
