Vuzix, the leader in smart glasses and augmented reality (AR), announced on April 5, 2023 that Proximie, a global provider of healthcare technology platforms, has begun to roll out PxLens with the Vuzix M400 smart glasses.PxLens is Proximie's smart glasses solution developed for the operating room, designed to provide a better surgical experience.
Vuzix smart glasses are paired with the Proximie mobile app for quick setup and use, and seamlessly integrate into the Proximie-architected cloud platform for remote presentations, content management, and playback of images from the operating room. The Vuzix M4000 smart glasses combine transparent waveguide technology with the performance and versatility of the previous generation of Vuzix M400 smart glasses. The Vuzix M4000 is the first industrial smart eyewear to utilize Vuzix waveguide technology, providing a transparent heads-up display. Voice activated commands allow for hands-free control, and the M4000's powerful battery can be swapped out during surgery to ensure fully serialized transmission and recording, even for long procedures. The comfortable head-mounted design allows surgeons to share open and minimally invasive surgeries from a first-person perspective, allowing remote viewers to watch these surgeries with high-definition images and sequences, and providing them with essential advice and the opportunity to learn cutting-edge surgical techniques. In the Proximie platform, these procedures are recorded and stored in a secure database for review, editing, analysis and sharing.
In 2022, Proximie performed pilot surgeries in the United Kingdom and the United States performed by surgeons wearing Vuzix smart glasses. These included colorectal surgery, ENT surgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery and urology. User feedback was generally positive.
Dr. Nadine Hachach-Haram, founder and CEO of Proximie, said, "The Vuzix smart glasses represent a lightweight, wearable, hands-free solution that delivers high performance across every metric, and PxLens is yet another step in Proximie's vision to help surgeons deliver effective and efficient healthcare. PxLens It provides an insightful first-person view and helps make recording and sharing of surgical procedures seamless. This improves patient care, training, skill development and overall surgical efficiency." .
"Proximie's selection and exclusive use of Vuzix smart eyewear for key elements of its remote collaboration platform is another major win for us in healthcare," said Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix. "Our M4000 clear smart glasses are one of the best solutions for use in the operating room, whether for remote support, training, message management or actual surgery. We look forward to working with Proximie to support the launch of PxLens to their global customer base".
