TORTUS is an ambient voice tool that writes up clinical consultations and meetings for you. It uses a large language model (AI) to turn what it hears, from a consultation, a meeting, or your dictation, into a written note.
TORTUS is a support tool, not a replacement for you or your clinical judgement. It drafts your documentation, but you are responsible for checking the note is accurate before it goes into the record.
TORTUS is not a clinical decision-making tool. Do not base treatment decisions on its output. It supports clinical documentation only.
TORTUS currently has three modes: Consultation, Dictation & Meeting.
TORTUS listens to the conversation between you, the patient, and anyone with them, and writes a clinical note once the consultation ends.
You describe the patient interaction in your own words, and TORTUS structures it into a note for you.
TORTUS listens to a meeting and produces draft notes, minutes, or action points once it ends. This is suitable for both clinical meetings (such as MDTs, case reviews, or handovers) and administrative meetings. Follow your organisation's policy on telling attendees that ambient voice technology is being used and on obtaining consent.
