How can a surgeon assist in an operation across the world — using their web browser? Dr Nadine Hachach-Haram BEM is a plastic surgeon and CEO of Proximie — an augmented reality platform for virtual surgical collaboration. Rather than telemedicine it’s about telepresence. It means that a surgeon in the UK could open up their web browser, and see what another surgeon across the world is doing in real time and collaborate. Proximie has had incredible impact: it’s helped people in need across the world access surgical care, it’s been used by NHS surgeons who are self-isolating due to coronavirus and it’s also being used by the RAF. Dr Nadine received the British Empire Medal in the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours for her innovation in surgery This is a really cool interview: we start off by talking about augmented reality in surgery before moving onto Dr Nadine’s transition from a plastic surgeon to a CEO, some business strategy and finally her advice for fledgling doctorpreneurs.
