Proprio, an AI-powered surgical technology vendor, has announced a significant milestone for its Paradigm surgical guidance platform, with 50 successful surgeries completed at the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center.
Key Highlights:
- The surgeries were performed by Dr. Richard Bransford, director of orthopedics spine quality improvement, along with other surgeons.
- The AI-powered system addresses challenges in precise implant placement and radiation exposure.
- Paradigm uses infrared cameras and AI to interpret visual anatomy accurately and track real-time changes.
Benefits of the AI-Powered Surgical Guidance System:
- Allows for zero radiation exposure during surgery while maintaining precise implant navigation
- Tracks motion in real-time and adapts to manipulations
- Accurately navigates implant placement in intended positions
- Can be used effectively by attending surgeons, fellows, residents, and PAs
Dr. Bransford reported that the system has “been hugely successful, has superseded our expectations and has surpassed our utilization of classic navigation.”
Additional Advantages:
- Records all aspects of the surgery, allowing for measurement of various case timings
- Provides a screen for all OR personnel to track and follow the procedure through the Paradigm lens
Dr. Bransford hailed the system as “truly revolutionary,” stating that it takes operative navigation to a new level by tracking implants and alignment changes in real-time without radiation exposure.
The success of Proprio’s Paradigm platform at the University of Washington Harborview Medical Center demonstrates the potential of AI-powered surgical guidance systems to improve patient care and surgical outcomes. As the technology continues to develop, it may usher in a new era of safer and more precise surgical procedures.
