Fornix Assess
What if mental health was truly accessible?
Psychological assessment that is accessible, affordable, and distinctly African.
That is our ultimate goal. We know that professional psychological services are often entirely out of reach for the majority of people. We are changing that. Our mission is to make psychological assessment accessible, affordable, and distinctly African.
Imagine a child taking an ADHD screening in Sepedi. Imagine doing it in a fraction of the usual time, at a fraction of the cost, making it affordable for the majority of parents. With a bit of tech, rigorous mathematics, and deep psychological research—we are doing it at Fornix.
The Fornix Scorecard is now seamlessly embedded directly into your Client Portal for real-time access.
The Science
Behind the
Screenings.
We built the proprietary Fornix Metrics System, powered by deep learning algorithms, to bring this dream to life. We utilize advanced data science and Item Response Theory (IRT) to make tests shorter without losing validity. We use our AI infrastructure to drive down costs, and we use rigorous psychological mapping to ensure every test is culturally validated for the South African context.
