Proximie

The power of partnership.  The power of collaboration.  The power of community.  The power of Proximie. "Those of us in global surgery have often observed a critical failure of global north innovations being deployed to the global south: they come as solutions looking for problems to solve. The danger with this is the proverbial man holding a hammer, to whom everything looks like a nail head. Proximie comes at a time when we know that it works. The Makueni case speaks for itself...It is now time to hit the surgical ground running and deploy this technology and reap all the benefits it will bring with it, both intended and contingent." We are hugely grateful to Dr Stanley Aruyaru, MBChB, MMed, FCS, FACS, Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, for his kind and welcome words about Proximie and our Amazon Web Services (AWS)-enabled digital network of surgical innovation hubs that continues to grow in Kenya and across Africa.

AdventHealth x Proximie: a system-wide partnership 🤝 🏥 🇺🇸 Proximie is now being used in 10 Operating Rooms (ORs) at five AdventHealth Hospitals including AdventHealth Celebration, for robotics and general surgery. AdventHealth, highlighted by Fortune Magazine as one of America’s "Most Innovative Companies", continues to invest in innovation that enables their exceptional teams to deliver the best care possible.  Proximie will provide real-time connectivity across AdventHealth sites, allowing their skilled clinicians to securely and remotely collaborate, share knowledge and access data from anywhere. This will enhance capacity, improve productivity and ultimately support the delivery of optimal patient care. Proximie and AdventHealth use-cases will include: 🫶 Clinical support: real-time support can be dialed-in from anywhere to increase surgeon availability irrespective of time or distance. 📖 Proximie library: enabling teams at AdventHealth to lean on archived surgical techniques and knowledge from the Proximie database, to help shape and improve techniques - before, during and after surgery. 🎓 Immersive surgical teaching and education: achieving and maintaining surgical excellence through widely accessible, scalable training alongside continual improvement of performance. 🕹️ Multi-room management: The Proximie control-tower effect, ensuring clinicians can manage multiple rooms and their respective status at any one time, using just a laptop or mobile. The partnership promises to transform ORs across AdventHealth sites into digitally-connected hubs that: ⭕ Enhance productivity: Creating additional capacity via remote mentoring and proctoring. ⭕ Minimising inconsistencies: Improving training with unrestricted access to knowledge and best practices and by recording every surgery to leverage for future use. ⭕ Optimising surgeon availability: Delivering care where it's most needed and enabling teams to manage team resources effectively across ORs. Stay-tuned for updates from Proximie and AdventHealth’s pioneering work together.
