Tortus

TORTUS is a healthcare AI company whose ambient voice technology (AVT) platform automatically transcribes and documents clinical consultations.

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.
