Enhancing Diagnostics with AI
HALO AP® is an AI-powered, pathologist-driven diagnostic pathology platform for primary diagnosis, remote working, and other routine workflows in anatomic pathology. Learn how HALO AP® improves patient care and clinical laboratory workflows in the video below.
Faster Diagnoses
Increase the efficiency of your diagnoses without compromising on accuracy. The case-centric HALO AP® platform enables slides to be reviewed from any location the moment they are scanned, allowing pathologists to diagnose cases remotely without waiting on the physical transfer of slides.
Collaborate with Colleagues Near and Far
With just a few clicks you can send out cases for a second opinion, resulting in improved patient care, reduced turnaround times, and eliminated shipping costs.
HALO AP® enables pathologists to expand their reach by receiving inbound digital consults.
An AI-Ready Pathology Ecosystem
Elevate your diagnostics and clinical research by deploying off-the-shelf AI tools with Indica Labs’ very own HALO Clinical IHC Solutions including AI tools for IHC and biomarker analysis, HALO Macrodissection Solutions for tumor quantification and enhanced molecular testing, and SlideQC BF for quality control of WSI.

Features of the AI Powered, Pathologist Driven HALO AP® Platform
Streamline the diagnostic process by centralizing all relevant case data with HALO AP®. With slides, gross images, clinical notes, and prior case history all in one location, workflows are simplified, efficiency is enhanced, and errors are minimized.
AI-powered tools seamlessly integrate into HALO AP®, enhancing clinical research and standardizing results, including IHC and biomarker analysis for HER2 in breast cancer and PD-L1 in lung cancer. HALO Macrodissection Solutions quantifies tumor content for increased reliability in downstream molecular analysis, and HALO Prostate AI identifies tumor rich regions for Gleason Grading in prostate cancer.
Built for open pathology, HALO AP® allows users to bring in third-party algorithms, including Lunit, Deep Bio, Ibex, and Paige.

Intelligent case lists are highly customizable and intuitive worklists that enable creation of workflows for specific use cases. Case lists are automatically updated with information from the LIS | LIMS to include information on case priority – such as STAT or routine to assist pathologists with case prioritization.
HALO AP® fully supports second opinions and external collaborations through powerful tools easily launched directly from the platform. Case conferencing supports real-time collaborative diagnostics and medical education training while the external consultation feature enables pathologists to send a case to a consulting pathologist, external to their institution for a second opinion. These robust tools enable the highest quality of patient care by offering a unified platform for seamless collaboration.
Modernize tumor board preparation with the dedicated Tumor Board module in HALO AP®. Effortlessly build case lists ahead of meetings and eliminate the stress of last-minute case additions. With all case notes, annotations, and comments at your fingertips, you can quickly recall key information during discussions.
Modernize your macrodissection workflow with HALO Macrodissection Solutions. Quantify the tumor content of your macrodissection annotation regions and have confidence that samples sent for genetic analysis are adequately concentrated.
When combined with the Tissector automated macrodissection platform from our partner Xyall, labs can create an all-in-one, fully-automated, entirely auditable macrodissection workflow.
HALO AP® supports a diverse array of workflows including immunofluorescence and z-stacks and is customizable to meet your specialty and research needs.
HALO AP® can interface with DICOM-compatible scanners such as the Aperio GT-450 and/or a PACS or VNA to import, store, and manage DICOM files. This powerful functionality promotes interoperability with existing systems and reduces the barrier for enterprise adoption.
Decrease your long-term storage costs up to 95% with automatic whole slide image archiving!* The Deep Archive module allows AWS customers to access the deepest S3/Glacial archive levels, resulting in substantial reduction in cost.
*When comparing 100 TB of data stored for one year in S3 Glacier Deep Archive vs. storage in the S3 standard tier.
