In this episode of Visionary Voices, we sit down with Dr. Chris Longhurst, Chief Clinical and Innovation Officer at UC San Diego Health and Executive Director of the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Center for Health Innovation. From his go-to burrito order to breaking new ground with spatial computing in the operating room, Dr. Longhurst shares why IT innovation isn’t just about tech—it’s about timing, trust, and transformation.

We explore what it takes to implement cutting-edge technologies without disrupting daily operations and how UC San Diego Health’s use of the Apple Vision Pro redefines patient care in real time.
