Halo

Halo is a clinical communication and collaboration platform designed to streamline healthcare workflows. This app replaces fragmented communication tools with a single, secure hub for role-based messaging, voice calls, and critical alerts. Clinicians can rely on Halo to share real-time updates, access on-call schedules, and coordinate care across departments without switching between multiple systems.

Secure Messaging and Alerts

Halo provides unlimited HIPAA-compliant secure messaging with automatic status updates for sent, delivered, and read messages. Users can attach high-resolution photos, audio, video, and documents directly within conversations. The app also supports critical alert notifications from nurse call systems, PACS/labs, and EHRs, ensuring urgent information reaches the right person instantly.

Voice and Schedule Management

Voice calls can be placed over the organization’s VoIP network using the same interface used for messaging and alerts. The built-in schedule management tool (admin-only) creates real-time, system-wide on-call schedules. Role-based communication allows users to contact on-call individuals or teams via secure text or voice, both within and across linked organizations.

Customization and Integration

Halo integrates with existing hospital clinical systems to provide instant access to on-call schedules, call center messages, and critical lab results. Users can customize communication settings with off-duty, auto-forward, and gatekeeping options to redirect or include others when unavailable. The app also supports user-defined groups and organization-defined distribution lists for efficient multi-recipient communication.

Offline capabilities ensure that messages and alerts are queued and delivered when connectivity is restored, maintaining continuity of care. The app operates seamlessly across smartphones, feature phones, pagers, workstations on wheels, and desktop computers, making it adaptable to any healthcare environment. With its focus on secure, real-time communication, Halo helps clinicians reduce noise and focus on patient care.
