Proprio Completes 50 Surgeries Using Paradigm AI-Powered Surgical Platform

Proprio, the global leader in AI-powered surgical technology, announced that its surgical guidance platform, Paradigm, has completed 50 successful surgeries. These procedures were performed by Dr. Richard Bransford and other leading surgeons at the University of Washington Medical Center.
 
Leveraging an array of advanced computer vision sensors, Paradigm captures high-definition views of the surgery and integrates vast amounts of data (e.g., CT, MRI, operative plans) to deliver real-time 3D anatomical mapping. 
 
The Paradigm platform is an FDA- cleared sensing modality aiding surgeons in the operating room while recording data to fuel a breakthrough digital twin capability, modeling the potential results of key decisions. It adapts to changes in the patient’s body, providing surgeons with tools and insights to improve outcomes. 
 
“Since the first-in-human surgery using Proprio less than a year ago, I have witnessed immense progress and benefits from incorporating this technology into spinal surgery,” said Dr. Bransford. “This system’s unprecedented visualization and data collection capabilities offer a level of precision far beyond previous methods. As this technology becomes widely adopted, I am confident that it will drive better outcomes for patients, revolutionizing the field of spinal surgery and improving the standard of care.”
 
In the first 50 surgeries with Paradigm, surgical teams successfully placed hundreds of implants with positive results across a range of challenging surgeries, from scoliosis to collapsed discs. On average, the use of Paradigm led to a 10X reduction in radiation-based imaging as highly experienced surgeons and early career residents used the technology to safely and swiftly traverse complex anatomy and accomplish their goals.
 
“Reaching 50 successful surgeries in a tremendously complex specialty, like spine, is a huge milestone for Proprio. It is just the very beginning for us,” said Gabriel Jones, CEO and co-founder of Proprio. “80% of humans do not have access to the healthcare they need. We are immensely motivated to expand the reach of this essential technology to all of surgery, making it accessible to more surgeons and patients globally. Our goal is to extend the boundaries of what humans and computers can do together and to continue to shape the AI-driven future of surgery.”
 
Proprio’s mission is to impact billions of underserved patients globally by enabling skilled surgeons to scale their abilities and address a shortage of millions of clinicians. The platform is expanding to leading hospitals in the US and abroad throughout 2024 and 2025.
