C-SATS vs Proximie
Proximie and C-SATS cover different moments, the live theatre and the finished case. Proximie positions itself as the operating system for intelligent operating rooms, with remote collaboration, a case video library, hardware with built-in computer vision, and an Intelligence Suite with predictive analytics. A health system linking many theatres is its customer, and the homepage claims 500+ facilities in 50 countries, with an NHS AI program spanning 104 theatres. Its studies are education and feasibility papers, and none measure patient outcomes. FDA, CE and UKCA status are not stated.
C-SATS works after the case. Its own site calls it a post-operative surgical insights platform, where expert surgeons and trained reviewers grade recorded video. A systematic review of 16 studies found good or excellent crowd-expert correlation in 12.
A residency program that records its cases for grading is C-SATS's customer, and a surgery department weighing the two faces that split. If it only wants trainee video graded, Proximie's remote collaboration and OR connectivity go unused. If it wants a remote expert in the room during a live case, C-SATS offers no way in. Neither vendor publishes a price.
