This book details the activities of the Division of Computer Research and Technology (DCRT) at the National Institutes of Health, recounting efforts at the convergence of computers and biomedical research. From its inception in 1963, DCRT pursued a novel approach to the field, with a focus on problem-solving at the intersection of technology and medicine. This approach led the organization to pioneer projects such as the Clinical Information Utility System, an early attempt to solve data management issues in clinical research. Notably, the book delves into the history of biomedical informatics, a field deeply intertwined with the work of DCRT. The author presents a narrative of the progression of computer-based information processing in medicine from its early days marked by large, centralized systems, through the development of distributed computing and the advent of personal computers. Among its many notable achievements, the book highlights DCRT's development of the widely-used Automated Multiphasic Health Testing System which enabled the processing of patient data from multiple tests. The book serves as a testament to the impact of DCRT's pioneering efforts, which have had far-reaching consequences in the evolution of biomedical computing and informatics.
