HAL Virtual Patient is a simulation tool for clinical education use only and should not be used with real patient data.

What HAL does

Built around the four pillars of a real consultation.

Voice or text consultations

Talk through histories with AI patients in real time, just as you would in clinic, or type if you prefer.

Order investigations

Request bloods, imaging and special tests. Realistic results return in-app for you to interpret.

Diagnose and plan

Commit to a working diagnosis and outline a management plan, the way it works in clinic.

Structured feedback

Receive feedback against national clinical guidelines — what you got right and what to refine.

Built by clinicians, for clinicians

HAL Education was founded by Simon Head — Advanced Practice Physiotherapist in the NHS, clinical educator for the Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine, and NHS England Digital Fellow.

HAL is built and clinically reviewed by experienced clinicians from across the UK, with the aim of training better, safer practitioners — not replacing them.
