Make every treatment day count.
Lose less time to
paperwork.
We build AI workflow tools for oncology because patients should not wait longer for care simply because clinic teams are stuck translating treatment decisions into payer-specific paperwork.
Why oncology first?
Hidalga started with a family cancer experience delayed by administrative paperwork. Years of repeated conversations with oncology teams and patients made something clear: this was not one bad experience. It was a workflow problem hiding between clinical care, payer rules & revenue cycle.
Not just a paperwork problem
Payer portals, forms, missing clinical evidence, phone calls, faxes & plan-specific rules force teams to translate the same care over & over.
A patient feels every delay
An authorization can eventually be approved & still cost days along the way. We care about what happens between the treatment decision & the treatment chair.
Built by learning.
The problem gets personal
Cancer-care delays made the administrative burden impossible to ignore. Research begins.
Research becomes a company
Hidalga Technologies forms, HaloPA takes shape & non-dilutive grant funding was sought.
Discovery sharpens the focus
NSF Funding secured. Customer discovery with oncology leaders turns a broad administrative problem into a focused mission: reduce prior auth friction, payer variability & treatment delay.
Built with oncology teams
HaloPA is being refined with oncology operators, workflow research, payer-specific testing & prospective pilot partners.
What we believe.
Clarity drives care
Information clarity enables speed and safety.
Trust is part of the product
Security, traceability & human control belong in the architecture, not the fine print.
Measure what changes
Useful technology should prove its value in real workflow metrics.
Build with the user
The people doing the work belong in the design loop.
Compassion first
Behind every auth is a patient waiting.
Backed by the National Science Foundation.
NSF SBIR Phase I support has helped us advance HaloPA’s technical R&D & deepen customer discovery around oncology administrative workflows. We use that work to test what is technically feasible, operationally useful & commercially viable.
The Hidalga team.
Our edge is the combination: clinical research, healthcare workflow discovery, AI architecture, software engineering & market execution on one team. We do not treat prior auth as a form-filling problem. We study the system around it, then build into the parts that actually break.
