Proximie Partners with NVIDIA to Advance AI-enabled Intelligent Operating Room

The partnership seeks to lay the groundwork for scalable physical AI systems that can transform operating rooms across the globe.

Global health technology company Proximie has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA aimed at developing an AI-enabled intelligent operating room supported by AI and real-time data integration.

The partnership is built on NVIDIA’s foundation models and accelerated computing platform alongside Proximie’s real-world surgical data and insights to support the development of NVIDIA’s next-generation AI models to power Smart OR platforms.

It is also aligned with NVIDIA’s Project Rheo, a newly launched initiative designed to accelerate the development of healthcare robotics and intelligent clinical ecosystems.

By combining Proximie’s extensive real-world surgical data with NVIDIA’s next-gen AI platforms, the partnership seeks to lay the groundwork for scalable physical AI systems that can transform operating rooms across the globe.

At the core, Proximie’s Intelligence Suite is an ambient AI infrastructure layer designed specifically for surgical environments.

The system continuously captures vast amounts of intraoperative data from operating rooms across hundreds of healthcare institutions worldwide in real time. The data collected includes high-resolution intraoperative video, workflow activity snapshots, instrument usage patterns, and detailed procedural content.

The platform operates in real time, creating and processing a continuous stream of structured data and generating actionable insights, which are expected to support clinical workflows.

This dataset is integrated directly into NVIDIA’s AI, which is expected to support the development and training of AI models capable of interpreting surgical workflows.

As part of the collaboration, NVIDIA’s platforms, including its Cosmos ecosystem, will provide the AI infrastructure required to scale and prepare Proximie’s surgical data for advanced applications, including dataset development and synthetic data generation.

By leveraging Cosmos-H, the partnership seeks to develop a vision-language model that can monitor OR activity in real-time, recognize key surgical milestones, automate routine tasks, and support surgical workflow coordination.

Commenting on the new partnership, Nadine Hachach-Haram, Founder & CEO at Proximie, said, “Through Project Rheo, we are demonstrating how real-world surgical data can train AI systems to understand operating room workflows and enable the next generation of healthcare robotics, both digital and physical.”

“By combining Proximie’s ambient surgical intelligence with NVIDIA AI technologies, we are building ORs capable of anticipating needs, supporting clinical teams, and continuously learning from every procedure,” he added.
