Tortus

TORTUS is a healthcare AI company whose ambient voice technology (AVT) platform automatically transcribes and documents clinical consultations. It captures speaker-diarized, locally-encrypted audio, generates structured clinical notes, letters and referrals, suggests diagnostic and procedural codes, and files findings into the electronic health record after clinician approval. TORTUS is live across 1,000+ NHS organisations with 2.5M+ consultations processed and integrates with Epic, EMIS Health, TPP SystmOne, Oracle Health, Access Rio and Medicus. Developers embed the experience with the TORTUS Embed SDK (@tortus-ai/embed-client), a TypeScript client that mounts a sandboxed iframe and authenticates via short-lived launch tokens minted server-side against the api.tortus.ai launch endpoint. TORTUS is a UKCA Class IIa medical device with ISO 27001, ISO 13485, Cyber Essentials Plus, NHS DTAC and DSPT posture.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tortus: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
