Proprio
Proprio is a Seattle medical technology company building an AI-powered surgical navigation platform, Paradigm, that uses light field imaging, computer vision, and machine learning to give surgeons a continuous, radiation-free 3D view of anatomy during spine surgery. Spun out of the University of Washington in 2016, the company fuses live intraoperative sensing with preoperative scans - a capability it calls Volumetric Intelligence - to improve precision, capture surgical data, and build a foundation model for surgery.
