Meelio vs TORTUS
NHS England's Phase IV evaluation of TORTUS, published through Great Ormond Street Hospital in July 2025, covered 9 clinical sites and more than 17,000 patients, and it was co-run with TORTUS. The vendor says it holds UKCA Class IIa status and ISO 13485, and that Royal Devon was the first trust to integrate it fully with Epic.
NHS trusts and London Ambulance Service are TORTUS's buyers, and Meelio's are practices like Rezilir Health and Essential Nutrition from its customer logos, so no clinic sits between the two. An expired UK G-Cloud 14 pricing document, valid to March 31, 2025, listed GBP 30,000 excluding VAT for a three-month pilot with unlimited licenses and GBP 15,000 for up to 100 licenses.
Meelio's Practice Intelligence encodes a practice's protocols, preferred labs, supplement brands, reference ranges and clinical voice. The homepage badge reads HIPAA, SOC 2 and BAA compliant, which is the vendor's own statement. Practice and Enterprise tiers are quoted on a call.
