Olympus, Proximie Team Up for Telecollaboration in the OR

Olympus has begun a partnership with Proximie to offer healthcare customers a health tech platform to digitize operating rooms.
 
The partnership aims to improve outcomes and clinical practices by tackling boundaries and connecting physicians, surgeons, clinicans, and students. Olympus said telecollaboration is an important part of its portfolio and is considered essential by many healthcare providers and educational institutions.
 
Proximie’s device-agnostic platform provides real-time collaboration to schedule secure training sessions and has the ability to capture video from any source.
 
Features include software that enables access from any browser or mobile device, as well as essential views of a procedure with up to high definition, low-latency video feeds. The platform facilitates collaboration via annotation, chat, and screen sharing.
 
It’s tablet controlled and can connect multiple video signals for quick installation on any tower or clinical space. Content management capabilities let users transform individual expertise into shareable video content. Proximie’s offerings can run on a standalone tower or integrate with other solutions.
 
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Proximie to provide our customers with a top-tier digital health platform including telecollaboration capabilities,” said Engin Demirel, Global Head of Commercialization Endoscopy Solutions Ecosystem (ESE) and EMEA Head of ESE at Olympus Corporation. “This partnership will help break down learning barriers and provide healthcare professionals with access to the knowledge needed to enhance patient care and outcomes. Such collaborations are crucial for the future of digital healthcare.”
 
“We are delighted to formalize our global partnership with the Olympus Corporation. It demonstrates our commitment to widening access to surgical and procedural knowledge, improving global healthcare equity,” added Dr. Nadine Hachach-Haram, Proximie founder and CEO. “As an agnostic solution for the healthcare sector, we are committed to widening our global impact, supporting surgeons to meet rising demand for diagnostic and interventional care and help improve patient outcomes.”
