Proximie
Founded by an NHS surgeon, Proximie aims to revolutionize the way surgeons work and educate through augmented reality guidance. Its secure, perioperative software solution expands surgical collaboration by enabling surgeons to share expertise using AR tools before, during and after surgery. Bringing together experts remotely, Proximie "pushes the boundaries of time and distance" for real and impactful scaling of surgical knowledge. In that sense, the solution is designed for use in low resource settings and will even work over low-speed internet with almost any device with a camera. Coupled with its excellent library of recorded specialist cases and training materials, Poximie is an affordable, long-term and sustainable solution to help countries grow and develop their medical practices.Select partners: Abbott, Medtronic, Smith & Nephew, Creo Medical, AdventHealth, Corin Group, HCA Healthcare, Zimmer Biomet, Boston Scientific, Providence Health & Services, Vodafone, Stryker Corporation, Association of Surgeons in Training, Jhpiego.
