TORTUS

TORTUS makes OSLER, a clinical AI agent that uses ambient voice, screen vision, and click-based actions to document visits and handle admin tasks inside a clinician's existing EHR, without bespoke integrations. A proprietary 'Shell' layer aims to strip hallucinations before clinician review. Developed with the NHS and sold to health systems and practices, it targets organizations seeking to cut clinician admin burden, and it operates in a regulated, review-required clinical context.

TORTUS builds OSLER (Operating System Leverage in Electronic Records), a clinical AI assistant designed to act as an agent rather than just a transcription tool. OSLER combines ambient voice capture, screen vision, and click-based interaction to interpret what is on the clinician's screen and perform tasks such as writing notes, letters, and referrals, and suggesting coding, directly within whatever EHR the clinician already uses, without requiring bespoke integrations. A distinguishing element is the company's emphasis on safety: a proprietary 'Shell' layer is designed to detect and strip AI hallucinations before a clinician reviews the note, addressing a core concern about generative AI in clinical settings. TORTUS was founded by a former doctor and developed in collaboration with the UK's NHS, and it is sold to health systems and general practices rather than to individual clinicians. As an early-stage, clinically focused vendor operating in a regulated healthcare environment, TORTUS handles sensitive patient information and requires clinician review of all generated output. It is a relatively small company by headcount, and buyers should evaluate its safety claims, data handling, information-governance posture, and deployment maturity as part of procurement. Generated documentation supports, but does not replace, clinical judgment and accountability.
