Tortus

Tortus is an AI-powered clinical documentation assistant designed specifically for healthcare providers and NHS organizations. Its primary function is to capture ambient speech during patient consultations, automatically transcribe and structure the information, and write clinical notes, letters, and referrals in seconds.

Tortus integrates directly into popular Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and telephony services, allowing clinicians to focus on patient care instead of manual data entry. It supports over 50 clinical settings, from A&E departments to GP practices and mental health services, and is deployed across more than 1,000 NHS organizations. The system is certified for regulatory compliance and has been live in the NHS for over four years, proving its reliability through more than 2.5 million consultations.

The platform uses robust safety features, including speaker diarization and on-device encryption, and offers an automated system to flag and remove any AI-generated statements not supported by original recordings. Results from independent NHS England evaluations show significant productivity gains, reduced documentation time, and more time for direct patient care. Tortus is widely trusted by clinicians, some of whom say they couldn't work without it.

Tortus is suitable for any setting where accurate, real-time clinical notes and compliance are mandatory, helping healthcare staff reclaim valuable patient-facing hours formerly lost to charting tasks.

Tortus is designed for healthcare providers, clinical administrators, and IT managers within hospitals, clinics, and NHS organizations. Its main users are clinicians who need to document patient interactions efficiently and accurately, but it also serves operations and health IT professionals responsible for EHR system management and workflow improvement.

The tool is valuable for organizations running high-volume clinics, emergency departments, GP practices, or any care setting where time spent on documentation reduces capacity for patient care. Tortus helps address the administrative burden facing clinicians, minimizes the risk of incomplete or inaccurate record-keeping, and ensures seamless integration with established NHS IT infrastructure.
