Proprio and Harms Study Group partner to advance ai-powered research in spine surgery. News provided by. By integrating intraoperative data from Proprio's Paradigm(TM) platform with the Harms Study Group registry, the partnership ushers in a new era of quantitative, AI-enabled spine surgery research SEATTLE, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Proprio, the surgical technology company pioneering AI-powered surgical intelligence, today announced a partnership with the Harms Study Group (HSG), a global network of distinguished surgeons dedicated to improving outcomes for children with spinal deformities. The new Proprio - HSG Research Collaborative will link real-time intraoperative data from Proprio's Paradigm(TM) platform with HSG's global outcomes registry, creating a powerful new foundation for research and data quality in spine deformity care. By capturing objective intraoperative measurements during live surgery and connecting them to long-term outcomes data, the collaboration aims to improve the precision, completeness, and consistency of registry data across HSG's international network of hospitals. The integrated dataset will support new research into surgical optimization, outcomes prediction, and the economics of data-led care. "For more than 30 years, the Harms Study Group has set the global standard for collaborative spine research," said Gabriel Jones, CEO of Proprio. "Their registry is one of the most important data assets in medicine. With the power of AI and computer vision, Paradigm can now build on those decades of learning, turning insight into a continuously learning system that measures, learns, and improves with every surgery." The collaboration will be built on a registry integration using Proprio's API, automating intraoperative data collection while reducing manual documentation. Proprio and HSG investigators will also co-author multicenter research studies and publications, expanding the evidence base for AI-driven surgical intelligence. "This technology allows us and the physicians we work with to objectively quantify what happens inside the operating room, something we've never had access to before," said Dr. Firoz Miyanji, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon at BC Children's Hospital and VP of Research for the Harms Study Group. "Working with innovative, mission-aligned companies in this new age of AI opens the door to entirely new research questions and, ultimately, better outcomes for our patients." "Our mission at HSG is to accelerate discovery and elevate standards in spine deformity care," added Michelle Marks, Executive / Research Director of the Harms Study Group. "Integrating Paradigm's intraoperative data directly improves the quality of the registry and the insights it can generate." For more information, visit www.propriovision.com.

The system relies on advances in light field imaging, computer vision, machine learning, robotics and augmented reality.Surgeons can assess progress against their pre-operative plans in real time during surgery, and make data-informed decisions during a procedure, reducing the need for revision surgeries, and improving patient outcomes.“Evolving from highly educated guesswork to data-driven certainty with intraoperative measurements is game-changing,” said Gabriel Jones, CEO and co-founder of Proprio, in a statement.The technology has been used in hundreds of surgical cases, including at leading healthcare institutions and spine centers such as UW Medicine and Duke Health.“We’ve been using navigation in spine surgery for a while, but what this technology allows us to do is precisely find the right angle without intraoperative radiation and navigate it,” said Dr. Rick Bransford, a UW Medicine orthopedic surgeon at Harborview Medical Center. “The system can kind of tell us the trajectory and guidance to place screws with zero radiation
