Our take
When someone has to go to a hospital, they expect to hand themselves fully over to the doctors and nurses and be in good, safe hands. Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors, not every hospital can offer the best. That is why Proximie, a global health-tech startup was founded in 2016, to take the lead in democratizing surgical skill and reduce variations in quality and care.
Due to Proximie’s platform, collaborative intraoperative guidance is transforming healthcare worldwide. Augmented reality is far more beneficial to delicately and precisely cover voice and video chat. Proximie can be used without headsets and other equipment getting in the way or being cumbersome, and all that is needed is a phone or tablet.
Proximie is rapidly growing in the global healthcare AI market, which will is estimated to grow to $188 billion by 2030. COVID-19 reduced international travel for surgeons, and the company had a 430% increase in usage, with 6,000 live surgeries in 2020. Contracts with medical device companies now provide access to 90% of the operating rooms and cath labs in the EU and US. Proximie collaborates with major medical device companies including J&J, Medtronic, Abbott, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, and Corin as well as in US & UK health systems such as Advent Health, HCA, and the NHS.
