Fora Health

What Fora Health does

Fora Health Ltd is a London-based health technology company, founded in 2018, that builds a treatment optimisation platform supporting shared decision-making between patients and clinicians. The company's core products are a Patient Companion App on iOS and Android and a Care Team Web App. The patient app delivers AI-driven health information, treatment option decision aids, symptom and side-effect tracking, appointment preparation tools, early warning sign monitoring, and personalised response plans. The web app enables clinicians to configure patient activities, monitor adherence and outcomes, conduct asynchronous treatment reviews, and document shared decisions. The platform integrates with Epic EHR, Apple HealthKit/ResearchKit/Apple Watch, and Android Health Connect, and is HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant and registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ZB665589). The technology includes an AI-powered 'Ask Fora Health' chatbot and a planned Gen-AI enabled patient-initiated app for late 2025.

The company generates revenue through B2B SaaS licensing to healthcare organisations under bespoke enterprise arrangements, positioning itself as a data processor while the healthcare organisation acts as data controller. Active commercial and clinical deployments exist in the United States (since 2019) and the United Kingdom (since 2022), with expansion into Switzerland (since 2025). Named customers and research partners include Advocate Aurora Health Care, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), ACCESS Community Health Network, the AAFP National Research Network, King's College London, The Dartmouth Institute, and Unisanté (University of Lausanne). The clinical focus has expanded sequentially from Major Depressive Disorder into bipolar disorder, pediatric off-label antipsychotic and polypharmacy use, endometriosis, cancer screening and prevention, and rare diseases, supported by NIHR-, Charles Hood Foundation-, and Swiss National Science Foundation-funded trials. A standalone patient-initiated companion app is planned for direct distribution via App Store and Google Play in late 2025, representing a strategic shift from provider-led deployment toward self-serve consumer access.

Core offering

Fora Health provides a treatment optimization software platform consisting of a patient companion mobile app (iOS/Android) and a clinician-facing web interface. The platform uses AI to deliver health information, supports shared decision-making between patients and clinicians, tracks symptoms and side effects, and integrates with Epic EHR and Apple/Google health platforms. The company operates primarily as a B2B SaaS provider to healthcare organizations, with a patient-initiated standalone app planned for late 2025.

Product overview

Fora Health is a treatment optimization platform consisting of two core products: the Patient Companion App and the Care Team Web App. The Patient Companion App supports patients in being informed about their condition and treatment options, having better discussions with healthcare providers, and self-managing their treatment plans. The Care Team Web App enables healthcare providers to configure patient activities, monitor treatment response, and document shared decisions. A new Patient-Initiated Companion App (Gen-AI enabled) is planned for late 2025 release, allowing patients to use the platform independently of their healthcare provider.

• WiserCare: WiserCare offers a shared decision-making platform that helps patients evaluate treatment options across multiple specialties — a direct competitor to Fora Health's treatment decision aid and shared decision-making functionality.
• Health Dialog (Becton Dickinson): Health Dialog, part of BD, delivers shared decision-making, care management, and health coaching services to health plans and providers — directly comparable to Fora Health's shared decision-making and treatment optimization focus, though at much greater scale and via a B2B health plan model.

Regional players
