University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust
Proximie surgical intelligence for theatre utilisation
UHCW reported 1 extra operation per daily theatre list after introducing Proximie
Problem
Manual coordination consumed theatre time. Inaccurate utilisation records also made it difficult to identify where capacity was being lost.
Approach
The trust introduced Proximie's AI and ambient sensors to track theatre activity in real time. It began with plastic surgery and pain services before expanding. Teams reviewed the data to change working practices.
Results
Takeaway
The reported capacity gain accompanied changes in theatre coordination and staff engagement.
