An ophthalmologist in San Diego just performed the first Apple Vision Pro-assisted cataract eye surgery. Dr. Tommy Korn (aka medicine's first "chief spatial computing medical officer") did it as part of a clinical study. Main benefits are easy access to patient info (visual overlay) while the process is easier to manage than wheeling around to various computers and monitors (much more comfortable). "Doctors have been sitting in front of a microscope since 1946,” says Korn. “I don’t ever want to go back to the old way.” The official study by Sharp HealthCare is titled: “Evaluation of Head Mounted Spatial Computing and 3D Visualization in Ocular Microsurgery: A Feasibility and Safety Study." It wants to find out how spatial computing tools "affect surgical visualization, including depth perception, as well as workflow and surgeon ergonomics." Incrdedible Vision Pro use case (officially knocking off NBA courtside viewing as killer app). $3,500 for medical equipment is nothing. Makes so much sense. *** NBC news hit: nbcsandiego.com/video/videos/s… More on study: beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-inf…
