The Virtus ADAPT Detect solution uses AI to analyze predictive attributes and assign a numerical child endangerment probability value to each child in the State’s care. This predictive insight helps Case Managers prioritize high-risk cases, conduct focused investigations, and take timely intervention measures to protect children more effectively.

The Virtus ADAPT Search solution uses Natural Language Processing to enable more than 4000 Case Workers to quickly search and gain insights across millions of case records, saving up to 6 hours of administrative time weekly and providing insights from previously unseen unstructured data. Combined with the ADAPT Detect solution, it continuously improves predictive accuracy, enhancing child safety.

"Virtus helped us reimagine the way our case managers support youth in need of placement. Their team delivered a solution that eliminated hours of manual work, streamlined the placement process, and enabled smarter matching through automation. The result was faster, better-informed decisions for our most vulnerable populations—and a meaningful boost in operational efficiency across our teams."
