About

Forta is clearing the path to quality healthcare. We continuously improve the patient journey and deliver personalized care by applying AI and machine learning. The first care vertical Forta is improving is autism ABA therapy. Care is difficult to access and the delivery model must be reinvented to provide early access to families. 1 in 44 children [CDC, 2021] is diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum. We are looking for driven, innovative, patient-focused individuals to join our team as we reinvent the care and tools available to neurodiverse families.
