Overview

TORTUS listens to a consultation, transcribes it with speaker separation and encryption held locally, and produces the structured note, the letter, the referral and suggested clinical codes, writing into the EHR once the clinician approves. It integrates with Epic, EMIS Health, TPP SystmOne and Oracle Health, and works across more than fifty clinical settings from A&E to mental health.

The Shell is what distinguishes it and it is the right thing to build. Ambient scribing’s real risk is not a missed word but a plausible sentence the patient never said, and TORTUS runs a safety layer that detects and removes unsupported statements before the clinician reads them, publishing 92.7 percent of detected hallucinations removed as a live platform metric rather than a marketing claim.

It reports 2.5 million consultations across more than a thousand NHS organisations, with telephony integration for X-On and Avaya. No pricing is published. That 92.7 percent is of detected hallucinations, which leaves the undetected ones, ambient recording of consultations requires patient consent handled properly, and suggested clinical codes carry billing and audit consequences that keep the clinician accountable.
