Promoting Discovery Through Collaboration
Collaborative image management for pathology
An Open Platform for Image & Data Management
With support for almost every digital slide format on the market, seamless integration to HALO and HALO AI, and open APIs to facilitate third-party integrations, HALO Link is helping research organizations worldwide to safely and securely manage and share digital slides and analysis data.
Manage Slides
Organize images into studies, add new images automatically using the background File Monitor, or simply drag and drop new images and files into HALO Link. Make data entry easier by pulling information from an LIS system’s 1D barcodes, by parsing information directly from 2D barcodes, or by importing discrete data into matching custom metadata fields. Search, sort, and filter slides from any data, and quickly add selected slides to temporary trays for future examination.
Share Securely
Assign role-based access permissions to study participants and keep editing privileges in practiced hands. Invite remote collaborators to view or modify patient/specimen data, slide data and attachments, comments, annotations, image analysis mark-ups, and analysis results. Open multiple images into the integrated viewer and start a conference to really focus discussions and annotations of regions of interest.
Analyze Remotely
Compatible with most digital slide formats, including brightfield and fluorescence. Images, annotations, markups and analysis are fully connected across applications, and edits from either will be visible in both HALO and HALO Link. Both may also be used to initiate and monitor analysis jobs, to export analysis results, to add and remove HALO AI Classifier training regions, and to operate AI training processes.
Visualize Trends
Use any data fields in combination with analysis results to create simple, interactive scatterplots. Each point on the scatterplot is linked back to the original image, allowing users to open and review markup images and analysis results for outliers in a single click. Use these to evaluate trends and to verify the quality of analysis runs.
Customize Your Solution
Different slide labels, different scanners, varying applications and number of users – every HALO Link installation is unique. HALO Link is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate a broad diversity of customers and what many of our competitors sell as customizations are included standard with HALO Link. Of course, if there is something our off-the-shelf product can’t do for you, our dedicated HALO Link professional services team can help build a customized solution.
Data Migration
Already using a slide/image management system? We understand that the idea of moving to something new can be daunting even when you are unhappy with your current solution. It may not be as hard as you think! Indica Labs’ IT specialists are well-versed in data migration, will explain the process in transparent detail, & will work to make the switch as seamless as possible.
