Great Customer Care
Digital Pathology Image Analysis
Excellent customer care given post installation and training has been really hands on. Any issues are swiftly dealt with and feedback is always welcomed from the Indica team. Katie especially has been really supportive and has made the integration of digital pathology at NUH smooth and relatively stress-free.

Great software, very easy to use!
Primary Diagnostic Reporting at NUH
I use Halo AP every day in my working environment. I find it very easy to use and it does exactly what I need it to do to carry out my job. The Indica team that deal with NUH are very friendly, attentive and always respond quickly to queries. They listen really well to feedback and are always asking how they can improve Halo AP. I have used other Digital Pathology IMS's in the past, but this is my favourite by far.

CASE-CENTRIC WORKFLOW
HALO AP automatically organizes images and meta-data into cases which are assigned to pathologists. An ergonomic case-viewer integrates digital slides, quantitative data, synoptic reports, gross details, and patient information. Links to prior related cases allow for rapid retrieval of patient history.
SYNOPTIC REPORTING
Whether you’re following CAP or ICCR guidelines, or designing your own proprietary reporting templates, HALO AP allows you to develop structured synoptic reports that facilitate efficient collection of high-quality histopathology scoring data. Score templates are matched to each case by indication.
CUSTOM ASSAY BUILDER
Unique to HALO AP is an intuitive assay builder that allows your own medical team to create quantitative assays underpinned by our time-tested HALO analysis technology. Assays are locked and signed to prevent unintended changes. With HALO AP’s Assay Builder, you can be confident that your lab is future-proofed for LDT expansion at the forefront of immuno-oncology, multiplexing, AI, and spatial analysis.
LIS | LIMS INTEGRATION
HALO AP is designed to work with your laboratory information system, not to replace it. HL7 messaging support and extensive APIs facilitate bidirectional integration with your homegrown or commercial LIS. Barcode parsing eliminates error and improves efficiency through automated case assembly, pathologist/case assignment and notification, assay automation, and report generation.
SlideQC: An AI-based tool for automated quality control of whole-slide digital pathology images
Artifacts may be introduced during tissue collection and processing, slide preparation, or when generating whole slide images (WSI). The presence of artifacts has a negative impact on the digital pathology workflow as they may hinder clinical reporting. Furthermore, artifacts may lead to false positive and false negative results when deploying image analysis algorithms or computer-aided diagnosis systems to WSI. Manual quality control of WSI is a time-consuming procedure and therefore automated quality control tools, which report and exclude artifacts, are highly desirable to streamline digital pathology workflows. To automate the quality control step, Indica Labs developed SlideQC, an AI-based quality control tool that automatically detects, reports, and outlines artifacts, such as air bubbles, dust/debris, folds, out-of-focus areas, and pen marks, on H&E stained WSI, in both research and clinical workflows. In this eBook, Indica Labs introduces SlideQC.
HALO AP enables seamless integration of third-party image analysis algorithms: A case study of DeepDx Prostate from Deep Bio
DeepDx® Prostate is a clinically validated and CE-marked AI-based image analysis algorithm for prostate core needle biopsy analysis that detects cancer and grades its severity according to the Gleason scoring system. DeepDx® Prostate is designed to alleviate the shortage of pathologists and their heavy workload, while reducing diagnostic subjectivity and variability. HALO AP® is an AI-powered, pathologist driven computational image management platform that supports anatomic pathology workflows, including primary diagnosis, secondary consults, tumor boards, clinical trials, synoptic reporting, quantitative analytics, and AI. Here, Indica Labs shows how DeepDx® Prostate can be integrated into HALO AP®.
