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.
