Then we met the rest of the extended team in their offices in Seattle, we came away with one distinct impression: this was one of the best Series A teams we had ever seen.
Surgical operating rooms today are crowded with technologies to track images of patient anatomy or vital signs, but those tools do not integrate with the surgical workflow or combine disparate data to anticipate next steps or guide the intraoperative experience. Physicians are left to capture these siloed pieces of information - fluoroscopy, CT scans, MRIs, and myriad quantitative data - by diverting their attention from the patient. In order to focus on the procedure, doctors also rely on the judgment of highly compensated medical device sales representatives, usually present for every surgery, to translate the sum of all of this two-dimensional information into a dynamic, three-dimensional operating environment.
Current advances in artificial intelligence and robotics can go further than reliance on human recall, integrating data with real-time information on medical device performance and the situational circumstances of individual patient surgeries to enhance device and surgeon performance.
Proprio's navigation system is a radical shift in how we perform surgery that enhances human capability and performance. It amplifies the expertise of surgeons in theater, supporting them as they perform more surgeries, safely. In leading the company's A round, we saw a product vision where surgeons, once they used the Proprio system, would never want to be without it, just as drivers would not give up GPS in their cars. It takes a unique blend of leadership and skills to deliver this technology: the Proprio team are a diverse but tightly knit group of surgeons, medical device professionals, machine learning scientists, AR/VR experts, and engineers from a range of innovative and new technologies. We are excited to partner with Gabe, his team, and other industry leaders on the Board of Directors to build a foundational surgical navigation company that could build on the computational power now available in the operating room.
The market demands solutions that maximize physician impact and leverage data to deliver positive outcomes to more patients. DCVC is excited to invest in Proprio to bring advances in artificial intelligence directly to the point of surgical care.
