Revenue model

1. Diagnostic Imaging Services: Revenue generated from advanced imaging services including MRI scans, PET/CT scans, CT scans, ultrasound scans, and specialized imaging for prostate, breast, lung, cardiac, and neurological conditions. Services are billed to insurance or patients directly.
2. Genetic and Genomic Testing: Revenue from cancer predisposition genetic testing, biomarker testing, and genomic profiling. Most commercial and federally funded insurance plans cover cancer predisposition testing when criteria are met, with many patients having no out-of-pocket costs.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures: Revenue from focal therapy treatments including Laser Focal Therapy (LFT), TULSA-PRO ablation, and BPH treatments. These are performed as outpatient procedures at partner centers.

Core offering

HALO Diagnostics provides precision diagnostic services combining advanced imaging (mpMRI, PET/CT, 3D mammography), genetic and genomic testing, and MRI-guided minimally invasive treatments for early detection of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Services are delivered through a network of partner imaging and treatment centers across the United States, including Genetic Testing Centers and Focal Therapy Centers, serving patients directly and via physician referrals.

Product overview

HALO Diagnostics is a precision diagnostics company offering a comprehensive ensemble of diagnostic services and minimally invasive treatments organized around three core disease areas: cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. The company operates a 'Imaging Center 2.0' model that transforms traditional imaging centers into next-generation diagnostic hubs. Core products and services include advanced imaging (MRI, CT, PET/CT, 3D mammography), genetic and genomic testing (cancer predisposition testing, BRCA, ExoDx, Decipher), MRI-guided prostate focal therapy procedures (Laser Focal Therapy and TULSA-PRO), multi-parametric MRI for prostate cancer screening and active surveillance, dementia diagnostics using Icobrain volumetric MRI analysis and amyloid/tau PET imaging, PSMA PET imaging with PYLARIFY, and biomarker testing. Services are delivered through a network of partner locations including Genetic Testing Centers and Focal Therapy Centers across the nation.

• 3D Mammography / Tomosynthesis 3D breast imaging technology that creates detailed cross-sectional images of the breast for enhanced cancer detection rates and fewer recall appointments compared to standard mammography, for women undergoing breast cancer screening.
• PSMA PET Imaging with PYLARIFY Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET imaging using PYLARIFY contrast agent for detection and localization of metastatic and recurrent prostate cancer in lymph nodes, bone, and soft tissue, for men with suspected metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer.
• Biomarker & Genomic Testing Comprehensive biomarker, genetic, and genomic testing services including ExoDx urine test for aggressive prostate cancer risk, BRCA testing, Decipher Prostate genomic test for tumor metastatic potential assessment, and multiomics analysis, for patients seeking molecular risk profiling.
• Imaging Center 2.0 Next-generation diagnostic hub model transforming traditional imaging centers into comprehensive precision diagnostics facilities offering integrated imaging, genomics, and molecular diagnostics, for imaging center operators and healthcare systems.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• IncellDxcoreTechnology or Integration · 29 June 2022HALO Diagnostics partnered with IncellDx, a single-cell molecular diagnostics company, to develop innovative testing for prostate and bladder cancers. The partnership combines HALO's advanced imaging and molecular diagnostics with IncellDx's screening technology including molecular assay kits that analyze urine samples with speed, scale, and molecular resolution for diagnostic and treatment decisions.
• Genomic Testing Cooperative (GTC)coreTechnology or Integration · 14 June 2022HALO Diagnostics partnered with Genomic Testing Cooperative to offer innovative personalized testing combining HALO's clinical ensemble and image-guided therapies with GTC's genomic profiling of patient DNA/RNA using liquid biopsy and tissue samples. The partnership provides comprehensive biomarker testing for treatment decision-making in prostate, breast, and lung cancers. GTC's Liquid Trace liquid biopsy test combining cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA is now available to HALO patients.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Tempus: AI-powered precision medicine company combining genomic sequencing, imaging data, and clinical data to enable personalized treatment decisions. Comparable to HALO's imaging + omics + AI thesis and overlapping with HALO's Decipher and Genomic Testing Cooperative partnerships; Tempus is a much larger and broader competitor in the precision diagnostics stack.
• Veracyte: Genomic diagnostics company focused on urologic cancers (Decipher Prostate), thyroid, and lung. Highly comparable in HALO's Decipher Prostate genomic test offering and prostate cancer diagnostic pathway; both target urology and oncology channels with molecular testing positioned alongside imaging.
• Natera: Genetic testing and liquid biopsy company offering oncology, reproductive health, and organ health tests. Comparable in the genomic and hereditary cancer testing layer of HALO's offering (BRCA, cancer predisposition panels); both serve similar at-risk patient populations via physician ordering workflows.
• Guardant Health: Precision oncology company focused on liquid biopsy and genomic profiling for cancer detection and monitoring. Comparable through HALO's GTC partnership and IncellDx collaboration, which similarly target liquid biopsy and molecular profiling for cancer risk and treatment selection; Guardant is a deeper-pocketed competitor in the genomic layer HALO integrates.
• NeoGenomics: Specialty oncology and clinical diagnostics laboratory offering comprehensive genomic profiling and hematology/oncology testing. Comparable to HALO's molecular diagnostics layer via GTC partnership; NeoGenomics serves similar oncology and urology referral channels.

Direct peers

• Icometrix: AI-driven brain MRI analysis company whose Icobrain DM platform powers HALO's dementia volumetric reporting. Comparable as an enabling technology partner and adjacent AI-imaging-software peer for dementia and neurodegeneration quantification; serves overlapping neurology and radiology customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Akumin: Outpatient diagnostic imaging operator with MRI, CT, PET/CT, ultrasound, and X-ray across multiple US states. Comparable as a multi-site diagnostic imaging services company with similar modality mix and payor mix to HALO, but broader portfolio and less specialty depth in prostate/genomic diagnostics.
• SimonMed Imaging: One of the largest outpatient imaging networks in the US, offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, 3D mammography, and specialty imaging. Comparable as a regional-to-national diagnostic imaging services peer with overlapping modalities (3D mammography, MRI) and similar physician-referral GTM, though SimonMed lacks HALO's focal therapy and genomic integration.
• RadNet: Large national diagnostic imaging chain operating fixed-site MRI, CT, PET/CT, and mammography centers. Comparable as a multi-modality outpatient imaging services provider to HALO's imaging center footprint, though RadNet's scale and focus on general radiology means HALO competes in the same patient acquisition channels but at higher acuity and price points.
• US Radiology Specialists: National physician-led radiology practice partnering with hospital systems and operating outpatient imaging centers. Comparable as a multi-state diagnostic imaging services platform; HALO is differentiated by its proprietary precision diagnostic ensemble and specialty prostate offering.
