Proprio, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered surgical tech, revealed a partnership with the Biedermann Group, a provider of spinal implant systems and procedural solutions.
The duo plans to combine Biedermann’s implants with Proprio’s Paradigm system, which leverages AI, computer vision, and augmented reality (AR) for real-time visualization and guidance for surgeons in the operating room.
Paradigm, according to Proprio, is poised to improve surgical precision, workflow, and decision-making in spine surgery through real-time, 3D anatomical visualization that adapts to changes in the patient’s body position during the surgery. Paradigm earned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance last year and had achieved first-in-human use in October 2023.
The collaboration also aims to boost surgical accuracy and efficiency, minimize radiation exposure, and offer a great deal of intraoperative data.
"This collaboration with Biedermann will further increase the Paradigm platform's unique capabilities to positively impact patient results through data-based planning and performance,” said Proprio co-founder and CEO Gabriel Jones. “At Proprio, we are committed to providing surgeons with only the best possible tools. We are excited to accelerate this critical partnership with Biedermann so that clinicians and patients alike can benefit from our advanced surgical guidance capabilities."
"We're thrilled to work together with Proprio, given our shared commitment to producing exceptional products and technologies and revolutionizing spine surgery," added Markku Biedermann, chairman and CEO of Biedermann Motech Inc. "We believe that the unique combination of our next generation implant technologies with Proprio's advanced surgical platform will enable surgeons to accomplish things they haven't been able to before. Our collaborative research will focus on how the fusion of technology can have a profound and beneficial impact on surgical processes and results, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes."
