Foster Care Technologies is a software development company based in Lawrence, Kansas, focused on applying advanced technologies to the child welfare sector. Its flagship product, ECAP, is an evidence-informed decision-support tool that helps agencies determine the best foster placements for children and can connect with other foster care case management systems to eliminate duplicate data entry by workers. The product is designed for use by both public and private agencies involved in foster care. University of Kansas researchers from the School of Social Welfare partnered with ECAP's developers to study the system, and their findings indicated fewer placement moves and a shorter time to permanency for children placed with ECAP. In September 2020, Foster Care Technologies announced the launch of a desktop and mobile app for TFI foster parents, illustrating ongoing product development.
