Proprio Scoops Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas Award

World’s First AI Surgical Guidance Platform, Proprio Paradigm, Honored as a Transformative Solution to the Most Pressing Issues of Our Time

SEATTLE, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Proprio, the global leader in AI-powered surgical technology, today announced that its flagship system, Paradigm, is the winner of Fast Company’s 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards.

This distinction comes fast on the heels of Proprio Paradigm receiving its second major 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), now including intraoperative measurements powered by Proprio’s advanced computer vision and AI surgical platform. Paradigm is the first technology to enable 3D, real-time, and segmental viewing of the anatomy, and marks the first time in history that surgeons can measure progress-to-plan and success intraoperatively with objective precision.

“The World Changing Ideas Awards have always been about showcasing the art of the possible,” says Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “We’re proud to recognize the organizations and leaders that are making meaningful progress on the biggest issues of our time.”

“We’re in a pivotal moment. In order to care for billions of people worldwide, the entire healthcare industry needs to shift from a manual, analog, incremental approach to an automated, digital, future of scalable intelligence,” said Gabriel Jones, CEO and Founder of Proprio. “We created Paradigm to pioneer the first surgical operating system powered by the first multi-modal foundational model, an entirely new data layer for surgery.”

Proprio’s ambitious goals include aggregation of all surgical expertise globally into an automated, intelligent repository available to all surgical teams across the globe at any time. By taking an AI-first approach, Proprio is creating scalable models that will assist in every step of patient treatment from imaging, diagnostics, and planning, to improved performance of the surgery itself with real-time guidance, and deep analytics that shift the practice of surgery from subjective assumptions to machine-derived certainty.

Jones continued, “Paradigm will power a broad range of future applications to improve patients’ lives, enhance the well-being of care providers, and, very likely, enable the invention of entirely new ways to treat pathologies. Recognition from Fast Company reinforces the magnitude of what our team is building.”

This year’s awards, featured on fastcompany.com, honor innovators for their impact, sustainability, design, creativity, scalability, and ability to improve society. Each year, Fast Company presents awards across a range of categories, recognizing some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies. Previous winners include the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Amazon, Nike, Headspace, and other globally recognized brands.
