By recording every surgery and archiving them into personalised profiles on Proximie , healthcare teams or individuals can demonstrate their skills and share expertise from anywhere .
Hachach-Haram is also a practising NHS surgeon , lecturer and the Director of Clinical Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at Guy ’ s and St Thomas ’ s NHS Foundation Trust in London .
“ I founded Proximie in 2015 , drawing on my desire to improve global access to safe surgical care by creating a solution which addresses some of the most pressing issues in healthcare ,” says Hachach-Haram . “ Over time , Proximie ’ s mission has grown and the company now focuses on transforming the surgical system with software , data and technology , from the operating room to wider healthcare .”
Hachach-Haram has always been passionate about plastic and reconstructive surgery .
“ Having grown up in war-torn Lebanon , and later spending over ten years working on global health initiatives around the world , I witnessed first-hand the deeprooted inefficiencies found across the global healthcare ecosystem .”
This inspired her to create Proximie and fulfil her ambition to build a network of operating rooms interconnected by the world ’ s best surgeons , and empowered by real-time diagnostics , data and analysis .
She says : “ The challenge was building a working platform which could be deployed in developed countries . It had to be seamless , but with low bandwidth and accessible on everyday devices such as laptops , tablets and computers .”
