San Diego-based Sharp HealthCare has named Tommy Korn, MD, as its first chief spatial computing officer.
“This first-of-its-kind leadership role underscores Sharp’s commitment to integrating emerging technologies, such as spatial computing, into surgery, education and patient care,” the health system wrote in a Sept. 23 LinkedIn post.
The newly created role comes as Sharp HealthCare continues exploring how spatial computing can be applied in healthcare. In March, the health system launched the Spatial Computing Center of Excellence. In 2024, Sharp purchased a fleet of Apple Vision Pros, a mixed-reality headset that uses spatial computing, to explore healthcare applications for the device.
