Clinical intake, before the first session
Intake software for psychology practices in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Foreword is being built to let clients share their background at home, before a first appointment, so their psychologist can review it in advance. More of the first session goes to the person, and less to paperwork.
How we work
Built carefully, for New Zealand practice
Clinicians stay in charge
Everything Foreword prepares is for the psychologist to review and weigh. Assessment and care decisions stay with them.
Privacy from the start
We are building to the Privacy Act 2020 and the Health Information Privacy Code 2020, and we intend to store client information in New Zealand.
Evidence before release
We intend to evaluate Foreword with New Zealand practices before any wider release, and to share what we learn.
Where we are
In development in Ōtepoti Dunedin
Foreword is not yet available to practices or to the public, and we have not collected any client information.
Foreword was founded by Ben Walker, who studies psychology and philosophy at the University of Otago.
