Company info
Proprio is a Seattle-based company utilizing machine learning, automated intelligence, and mixed-reality user interfaces to develop a next-generation surgical navigation and imaging platform to improve surgical accuracy, simplify surgical workflows, and improve patient outcomes.
The solution they’re building supplants surgical microscopes, navigation systems, loupes, and screens. Replacing surgical microscopes alone wouldn’t be a compelling enough goal for them, though.
Their greater vision is to move medicine out of the past and into a future that fully leverages not only existing technologies, like AR/VR, but one where medical innovation can move at the pace of software development in other industries. In order to realize that future, they have to move away from a dependency on ground glass, in the case of microscopes, and toward a focus on software and data, and leverage the emerging capabilities of computer vision and machine learning to enhance the combined performance of humans
