# Introduction

> Embed AI-powered medical consultations into your healthcare application with the TORTUS Embed SDK.

The **TORTUS Embed SDK** (`@tortus-ai/embed-client`) lets your healthcare application embed TORTUS' AI-powered medical consultations directly into your own workflow. You load TORTUS into a container on your page, start a consultation from a few lines of TypeScript, and receive structured medical outputs (notes, letters, codes, and transcriptions) back through events.

The SDK renders the TORTUS experience inside a sandboxed iframe, so your users never leave your application and patient data stays protected.

## What you can build

  <Card title="Ambient consultations" icon="microphone" href="/guides/consultations">
    Capture face-to-face or live-recorded consultations and turn them into structured clinical
    documentation.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Audio file processing" icon="file-audio" href="/guides/consultations#audio-file">
    Send an existing recording and receive notes, letters, and coded data in return.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Meeting notes" icon="users" href="/guides/meetings">
    Capture non-patient conversations and generate meeting notes (early access).
  </Card>

## Why the SDK

* **Easy integration**: async initialisation with a single `loadTortus()` call.
* **Secure by design**: short-lived launch tokens, iframe sandboxing, and built-in validation for patient data.
* **Type-safe**: full TypeScript definitions for every option, event, and result.
* **Flexible**: multiple consultation modes and EHR integrations, or bring your own host UI.

<Note>
  You'll need credentials from TORTUS to use the SDK: a **publishable key**, and a **client ID +
  client secret** for your backend. Contact [support@tortus.ai](mailto:support@tortus.ai) if you
  don't have these yet.
