How Fortivus works

You don't need to have it all figured out.
You just need a place to start.

Fortivus meets you wherever you are in the caregiving journey — whether you just got the diagnosis or you've been managing this for months. Start with whatever you have, even if that's just a lot of questions.

Getting started

Three steps from scattered to supported.

1

Tell Fortivus about your situation

Answer a few simple questions about your family — who you're caring for, where you are in the journey, and what feels most urgent right now. There are no wrong answers.

You can upload documents — a diagnosis letter, a medication list, a legal form — or start with nothing and add things over time. Either way works.

Takes about 10 minutes. You can stop and come back anytime.

Sage reads what you've shared and starts connecting the dots

Sage is Fortivus's AI advisor. Once you've shared some information, Sage starts making sense of it — flagging what looks urgent, identifying what might be missing, and building a picture of where your family actually stands across medical, legal, financial, and daily care.

Sage doesn't speak in medical jargon or legal terminology. It speaks plainly — the way a knowledgeable friend would if they had time to read all your paperwork and think it through.

Sage updates as you add new information. Every document you upload makes its guidance more specific to your family.

Get clear on what to do next

Fortivus gives you a prioritized view — what needs attention now, what can wait, and what you probably haven't thought about yet. Not everything at once. Just the next right thing.

As your situation changes — a new diagnosis, a care transition, a legal decision — Fortivus updates with you. It's not a static checklist. It's a living plan for a situation that keeps moving.

You can share access with family members so everyone is working from the same information — not three different text threads.
Designed for simplicity

Built so anyone can use it — no tech skills required.

Here's where we're headed. Every screen is designed around one principle: if you're already overwhelmed, the last thing you need is complicated software.

Everything Fortivus does lives in two places.

If you can use email, you can use Fortivus.

The Command Center

Your family's secure home base. One place for every document, care note, appointment, medication list, and contact that matters — so it's not all living in your head or scattered across texts and folders.

  • Upload and store medical records, legal documents, insurance cards, medication lists
  • Track appointments and important deadlines
  • Keep care notes so nothing gets lost between family members
  • Share access with siblings or other caregivers — everyone sees the same information
  • Search everything instantly — no more hunting through texts at midnight

Sage — Your AI Advisor

Ask Sage anything about your situation. It reads your documents, understands your family's specific circumstances, and gives you plain-language answers — available any time of day or night.

  • What does this diagnosis actually mean for us day to day?
  • Help me understand this medical report or legal document
  • What should I be doing right now versus what can wait?
  • How do I prepare for a difficult conversation — with a doctor, an attorney, or a sibling?
  • What's missing from our plan that I haven't thought about yet?
What it actually feels like to use Sage

You don't have to know the right words. Just ask what's on your mind.

Example conversation with Sage
You
Mom's neurologist mentioned something called "moderate stage" at our last appointment. What does that actually mean for us day to day?
You
S
Sage
Moderate stage means your mom likely needs more hands-on help than she used to — with things like getting dressed, managing medications, and keeping track of time and place. She may still recognize familiar faces and have good days, but she'll need someone nearby more consistently now.

Based on what you've shared with me, there are three things worth thinking about soon: whether your current care arrangement gives her enough consistent support, whether the power of attorney you uploaded last month covers the decisions you're likely to face in the next 6 months, and whether it's time to have a conversation about driving. I can walk you through any of those if it's helpful.
You
The driving conversation — how do I even start that?
You
S
Sage
That's one of the hardest conversations caregivers face, and there's no perfect script — but there are approaches that work better than others. The most important thing is to make it about safety, not about what she's losing.

I can help you prepare a few specific things to say, think through who else should be in the room, and look at whether her doctor has documented any concerns that might make the conversation easier. Want to start there?

Sage draws on your family's actual documents and situation — not generic advice from the internet.

What Fortivus covers

Dementia caregiving touches every part of life. So does Fortivus.

Most caregivers don't realize how many separate areas they're managing until one of them breaks down.

Medical

Understanding the diagnosis, tracking symptoms and medications, preparing for appointments, knowing when something has changed and what it means.

Legal

Power of attorney, healthcare directives, guardianship — the documents that determine who can make decisions and when. Most families don't have these in order until it's too late.

Financial

Understanding what care actually costs, what resources are available, and how to protect your parent's financial future — without letting it become a family conflict.

Safety & Daily Care

The day-to-day decisions that are harder than they look — when to stop driving, how to handle firearms in the home, when in-home care isn't enough anymore, and how to have those conversations.

Common questions

Things families ask us before they get started.

Do I need to have documents ready to start? ↓
No. You can start with just your parent's name and diagnosis — or even just a general description of where things stand. Fortivus will help you identify what to gather over time.
Is my family's information private and secure? ↓
Yes. Fortivus is built on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure from the ground up. Your documents are encrypted, stored securely, and never shared or sold.
Can other family members use it too? ↓
Yes — and this is one of the most valuable parts. You can share access with siblings, a spouse, or other caregivers so everyone is working from the same information. No more conflicting versions of what the doctor said.
Is Sage giving me medical or legal advice? ↓
Sage helps you understand, organize, and prepare — it doesn't replace your doctor, attorney, or financial advisor. Think of it as a very well-informed friend who helps you walk into those professional conversations ready, with the right questions and the right documents.
What if my parent's situation changes? ↓
Fortivus is designed to change with you. As you add new information, Sage updates its guidance. You're not locked into a plan made when things were different.
When is the right time to start? ↓
Earlier than you think. Most families start after a crisis. Fortivus is most powerful when you start before the crisis, when there's still time to prepare. If you've noticed something feels off with a parent, that's the right time.
