TORTUS

AI clinical documentation and coding assistant

Overview

Tortus AI builds O.S.L.E.R., an AI assistant that reduces clinician administrative work by listening to patient conversations, transcribing them, and automatically drafting notes, letters, and medical codes. It works by ambiently capturing dialogue, generating documentation, and integrating with EHR systems like Epic, EMIS, Cerner, and SystmOne without storing audio to protect privacy. The service is offered to NHS hospitals, GPs, and ambulance services in the UK and is the first UK company to deploy ambient AI in NHS settings with NHS DTAC compliance, supported by partnerships such as Great Ormond Street Hospital. Its goal is to lower cognitive load for clinicians, improve documentation quality, and expand ambient AI use across healthcare organizations.
