About Proximie
I founded Proximie based on the ethos that shared knowledge leads to accelerated learning and better patient care.
Proximie was built to allow experts to virtually scrub-in to operating rooms and cath labs around the world, to support, coach and mentor each other, and to really look at the continuum of expertise throughout a surgeon’s career. What we wanted to do with Proxmie was to create a multi-sensory experience that was a catalyst for collaboration that could also digitise a surgeon’s footprint.
The important thing about the way we designed the platform from the outset was that we didn’t want Proximie to be a siloed product offering. I needed it to extend across the whole surgical industry, or ecosystem within the hospital, which are incredibly varied, complex and differ in every clinical setting.
traditionally, we’ve always described surgery as see one, do one, teach one. It’s how we as surgeons train; it’s how we deliver care. Proximie is changing that model to prepare, perform and perfect, because we believe that it should be a digitised continuum. That means our user could be a first-year medical student or could be a senior consultant at the top of her game, but throughout the whole ecosystem from learning to care delivery, everything is connected.
In addition to being of use to the broadest user base within any given healthcare setting, Proximie was built to be light, easily deployed on low bandwidth, and therefore as usable in austere environments as it is in a high-end hospital.
It’s incredibly exciting to think of the future global network of operating rooms interconnected by the world’s best clinicians, where every incision is already informed by machine learning and every clinician will be empowered with real-time diagnostics, data and analysis. We call this Connected Surgical Care.
