Proximie

What is Proximie and who sells it?

Proximie is a London company founded in 2016 by Nadine Hachach-Haram, with Talal Ali Ahmad added as a founder by Tracxn. It raised a $38M Series B in April 2021, led by F-Prime, and an $80M Series C in June 2022 led by Advent Life Sciences, although Seedtable names Questa as the lead. The company states about $130M raised in total. No acquisition has been reported.

The company now describes itself as "the operating system for intelligent operating rooms" and "the only data and connectivity platform purpose-built for ORs." Its pages describe remote collaboration and recording.

What does it do?

The Surgical Suite covers remote collaboration and a video library of cases. The Intelligence Suite adds real-time data, predictive analytics, computer-vision AI and EHR integration, and there are hardware units with built-in computer vision and an SDK for device companies.

The homepage claims more than 500 facilities in 50 countries and more than 40 device companies. A MedCity News piece cites more than 700 hospitals, so the numbers differ by source. Partners shown include HCA, Providence, the NHS, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Olympus and Stryker, and press material describes an NHS programme across 104 operating theatres with AWS and Deloitte.

Security and regulatory status

The homepage shows badges for HIPAA, GDPR, Cyber Essentials, DTAC, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, SOC 2 Type 2 and CSA STAR levels 1 and 2, with HIPAA details on a separate legal page. FDA, CE, UKCA and ISO 13485 status are not stated, so whether the AI analytics count as a regulated device is open. EHR integration is listed without vendor names.

What does the evidence say?

Four studies concern Proximie directly. A 2024 paper in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England looks at Proximie in the operating theatre for medical student education, and a 2022 Journal of Robotic Surgery paper looks at students learning with it. A 2022 International Braz J Urol study used Proximie as the augmented reality platform for robotic prostatectomy. A 2023 Journal of Robotic Surgery paper on video labelling mentions the platform.

All are education or feasibility studies, and none measures patient outcomes. Retention, access and consent practices for recorded cases are not published, and no independent criticism of them exists in the record. Praise comes mostly from vendor and press material.

How much does it cost?

Proximie does not publish a price, and whether the model is per operating room or per case is not stated.

The verdict

For remote proctoring and teaching, Proximie reports a large footprint, though the facility count differs by source (500 on the homepage, 700 in MedCity News). A hospital that wants to record and share cases across sites has a widely deployed option here by the vendor's own count. The NHS programme across 104 operating theatres is the named deployment a buyer can check against. A hospital that expects the analytics tier to change outcomes has no published study to rely on, and a legal or compliance team should expect to settle retention, access and consent rules before the first recording.
