Hermetic Labs, LLC · Last Updated: April 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Hermetic Labs Triage (HALT) website, software, documentation, or any related services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Hermetic Labs, LLC.

2. Description of Services

2.1 HALT System

HALT — Hermetic Anonymous Local Triage — is a free, open-source, offline-capable field medical coordination system. It is designed to assist with patient triage, tracking, and communication in austere environments including conflict zones, disaster response, and resource-limited settings.

2.2 Open-Source Availability

The HALT software is provided as open-source under its applicable license. You may download, use, and modify the software in accordance with the license terms published in the project's source repository.

2.3 Website and Informational Content

This website (7hermeticlabs.health) provides informational content about the HALT system, including features, documentation, download links, and donation facilities.

3. Critical Medical Disclaimers

⚠ Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Judgment

HALT is a coordination and record-keeping tool. It does NOT replace trained medical professionals, clinical judgment, or established medical protocols. All triage decisions, diagnoses, and treatment plans must be made by qualified medical personnel.

⚠ AI-Assisted Features

HALT includes AI-powered features (powered by Google's MedGemma and similar models) that provide suggestions for differential diagnosis, drug interactions, and clinical decision support. These AI outputs are informational aids only and must never be used as the sole basis for clinical decisions. AI suggestions may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for a given patient's circumstances.

3.1 No Medical Advice

Nothing in the Services — including AI outputs, MARCH protocol guidance, treatment plan suggestions, or clinical decision support — constitutes medical advice. The Services do not create a doctor-patient relationship.

3.2 User Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for:

  • Verifying all clinical information and AI-generated suggestions
  • Making independent medical judgments
  • Complying with local medical licensing and practice requirements
  • Ensuring patient data is handled in compliance with applicable laws
  • Validating all translations for clinical accuracy in their specific context

3.3 Translation Accuracy

HALT provides multilingual support in 42 languages. While every effort has been made to ensure translation quality, machine-generated translations of medical terminology may contain errors. Critical medical communications should always be verified by a qualified human translator when patient safety is at stake.

4. Eligibility

The HALT software is intended for use by:

  • Medical professionals and trained field medics
  • Humanitarian organizations and NGOs
  • Military medical units
  • Disaster response teams
  • Any individual operating in a medical coordination capacity

There is no age restriction for accessing the informational website. Use of the triage software in a clinical capacity should be undertaken by appropriately trained personnel.
