Sharp HealthCare has unveiled a new technology immersion laboratory in Kearny Mesa that will help researchers develop new healthcare techniques using artificial intelligence and other advances in computer science.
The James M. Cox Foundation Technology Immersion Lab was funded by a $500,000 grant from the foundation, which is the charitable arm of Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises, the parent company of cable TV and internet provider Cox Communications.
The lab is part of the 68,000-square-foot, four-story Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center, which officially opened on Friday.
The new Cox lab will enable Sharp researchers, clinicians, technologists, and industry partners to explore leading-edge technologies including artificial intelligence, software development, machine learning, and advanced analytics, all in support of Sharp’s efforts in health care innovation.
