Vodafone UK Combines 5G, IoT and MEC with Proximie's Connected Surgical Suite
Vodafone UK recently announced that it is formalising its relationship with Proximie, the health technology platform that is digitising operating rooms around the world as part of its mission to save lives by sharing the world's best clinical practice.
As part of Vodafone UK's Centre for Health with Deloitte initiative, the two companies working together to bring the innovative platform to more hospitals and people around the world. Combining technologies such as 5G, IoT and Edge Computing with Proximie's world-class connected surgical care software, healthcare experts will be able to virtually 'scrub-in', record and interact with operating rooms across the world to help accelerate and improve workforce training and more efficient delivery of high quality surgical care, at scale.

The digital surgical solution will feature a global network of interconnected operating rooms attended by leading clinicians, where incisions are informed by artificial intelligence, and each clinician empowered with real-time diagnostics, data and analysis.
With this access, healthcare systems will be able to improve the quality and speed of workforce training and increase capacity through more efficient delivery of surgical services, improving access to the highest quality surgical care for patients - through real-time surgical collaboration, enhanced video-based training and data analytics.
These factors are important drivers if the healthcare industry is going to address the current surgical backlogs and improve overall patient care in the future.
Working with Proximie, Vodafone UK said it will be capitalising on our industry leading network to accelerate the roll out of their solution alongside the wealth of technology experience we have in connecting over 20 million healthcare devices globally through IoT, AI, 5G and Edge Computing.
