Today’s surgeons must operate with outdated technologies under pressure, which requires a surgeon to constantly switch their focus in order to interpret static 2D information in a dynamic 3D space in high-stake environments that require precision and accurate live data.    In this episode, Pearly Chen talks with Proprio CEO Gabriel Jones about the inspiration behind Proprio and how the company’s tech is leading the way towards a future of better surgical outcomes. Proprio is a surgical navigation company that superpowers surgeons by combining XR, computer vision, machine learning and robotics.  Episode 04: Show Notes  Today, we’ll cover how XR can transform medicine, specifically surgeries, by giving surgeons the superpower to see and work better for patients.  Tune in to hear how Proprio brings world class medical care to every human.  Key Points From This Episode:   An introduction to Proprio and how the company enhances a surgeons’ abilities. Proprio is tackling challenges in the operating rooms with new technological breakthroughs and creating new opportunities.  How Proprio is elevating surgeons so they can actually begin to think about new, innovative treatments and approaches in their work.  Surgeons have begun to grow accustomed to this technology and begin to adapt to this new operating way.  Proprio has brought joyness and delight to many doctors, which is rare in medicine.  Proprio is the only company to apply rendering techniques in the operating room and diminished the use of X-Rays, which subsequently put surgeons at risk for developing cancer.  Proprio gives surgeons more natural interfacing tools to enhance performance, it is also smarter, better, faster and cheaper so  medical operations are as simple and effective as possible.   Gabriel closes with his personal motives behind building a company to address problems in the surgery industry.  Tweetables:  “This is similar to the concept of calm design that I think Proprio is really at the forefront of, which is technology at its best where it's designed really, really well and very thoughtfully implemented should just melt away.” - @aGabrielJones [0:09:18]  “Overall, we think technology can help bring the physician back to the direct interaction through technology with the patient. I think that should be our overarching goal, not just to implement technology for the sake of selling a product or launching something that's really cool.” - @aGabrielJones [0:10:42]  “So if we could reduce the need for surgeries like that and not be over-focused on driving more surgery, that's not the goal. The goal is perfection. If you're going to do surgery, get it as close to perfection as you possibly can. I think the data and computation is really one of the best ways to, over time, achieve a little bit more of that perfection.” - @aGabrielJones [0:25:08]  Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:  Proprio website Gabriel Jones on LinkedIn Gabriel Jones on Twitter Pearly Chen on Twitter HTC VIVE website HTC VIVE on LinkedIn HTC VIVE on Twitter HTC VIVE on Instagram HTC VIVE on Facebook
