Frequently asked questions

Who is HAL for?

Medical, nursing and allied health professional students preparing for OSCEs and clinical placements, and qualified clinicians who want low-risk consultation practice — refreshing skills, returning to practice, or moving into a new specialty.

How does the subscription work?

You choose Monthly (£9.99 / month with a 1-week free trial) or Annual (£89.99 / year with a 2-week free trial). Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID and can be cancelled at any time from the App Store. Local pricing applies outside the UK.

What devices does HAL run on?

HAL is a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad. Sign in with Apple is supported. An internet connection is required to run consultations.

What about my privacy?

HAL stores your sign-in details locally on your device. Optional in-app feedback is sent to a private clinical-review team. See the privacy policy for the full details.

Can I use HAL with real patient data?

No. HAL is a simulation tool for clinical education only and should never be used with real patient data. All cases inside HAL are AI-generated virtual scenarios.

Is HAL clinically validated?
