Halo Connect is an Australian healthcare interoperability platform, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, that makes primary-care data integration simple by exposing on-premise practice management system (PMS) databases through a modern cloud API. Its Halo Link agent and Halo Cloud service let approved software integrators query systems such as Best Practice, Zedmed, and Dental4Windows using either SQL passthrough or a standards-based FHIR R4 (4.0.1) API built toward the AU Base 4.1.0 implementation guide, without maintaining a separate database agent per integration. Halo Connect built the first FHIR API for the Best Practice Premier medical-practice industry. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure hosted in Australia, and access is gated behind a Halo Cloud subscription using Azure API Management subscription keys and, for desktop applications, bearer JWT tokens issued from a token endpoint; there is no self-serve public API.
