Transformative technology that expands access, improves outcomes, and lowers the cost of care.

from proxi- (Latin proximus, “nearest”) + medicine; sense 2 influenced by proxy

1. proximity as access : the deliberate extension of clinical infrastructure into traditionally underserved facilities and communities, so the exam comes to the patient instead of the patient traveling to the exam; FDA-cleared diagnostic devices with 24/7 virtual clinical oversight, delivered at the point of care // Proximedicine brings point-of-care diagnostics to patients right where they are.
2. medicine by proxy : care in which the nurse or caregiver on-site acts as the eyes and hands of a virtual provider, performing the exam and diagnostics under that provider’s real-time direction while the clinical judgment stays with the provider // The nurse places the leads and holds the scope; the virtual provider reads the results and makes the call.
