Healthcare redesigned for you
AI listens.
Clinicians decide.
Start with what’s going on, whenever it works for you. Speak or type in your own words. TORTUS listens, asks questions and gathers your history. A licensed clinician then reviews your conversation and takes it from there.
How it works
Care starts when you’re ready.
A simple, secure process designed around YOU.
- 01
Tell TORTUS what’s going on
Speak or type in your own words. Start with whatever is on your mind.
- 02
TORTUS asks what matters
TORTUS knows what questions to ask and what information your clinician will need. It gathers your history, asks follow-up questions and summarizes what you’ve shared for you to review.
- 03
A clinician takes it from there
A licensed clinician reviews everything and decides what happens next. They may ask more questions, recommend treatment, order tests or take other appropriate next steps.
People behind your care
Clinicians make the clinical decisions.
Nothing becomes part of your care until it has been reviewed by a licensed clinician.
TORTUS can listen, ask questions, gather your history and prepare information for your clinician. It does not diagnose, treat or prescribe on its own. Your clinician decides what happens next.
Your care doesn’t start over with every question. Your plan and next steps stay with you in the app as your care continues.
TORTUS and the hare.
When we started TORTUS, we kept asking the same question: why has so much health tech with $billions of investment, created so little lasting value for clinicians and patients?
We saw companies running fast, breaking things, and leaving hospitals to clean up. That's the hare. We chose to be the tortoise - build the evidence, run the trials, publish the results, grow sustainably, and prove the science with every step.
As fast as we can, as slow as we need.
