Aimbient vs Proximie (2026)
Aimbient and Proximie both record what happens in procedural rooms and build two businesses on it: operational intelligence for perioperative leaders and video for surgical teaching and review. Analyst lists of surgical video platforms name them side by side. Aimbient, the former Surgical Safety Technologies, captures room video, operative video, audio and device data on every case and runs more than 25 models over them. It forecasts the day, timestamps events, tags adverse events for quality review and builds de identified teaching libraries, and more than 100 peer reviewed publications draw on its data, from checklist studies to trauma team performance. Proximie started with live telepresence, letting remote experts, trainees and device representatives join procedures, and added an Intelligence Suite for event detection, finish time forecasts and two way EHR integration. It reaches more than 500 facilities in 50 countries and works closely with device companies. Aimbient suits a hospital that wants quality and safety review built on a deep research record; Proximie suits one that wants remote collaboration and device company support on the same platform.
