Clinicians Tell Their Stories

Note: all information given will be posted on a public response page unless otherwise noted.

Using the Internet, PROJECT BIONICS seeks to document the history of artificial organs by collecting personal reminiscences and experiences from the historical participants involved in the innovation and realization of artificial organs.

1. Which individual and/or event do you believe has contributed most significantly to the development of artificial organs?

2. In your own clinical practice, what have been the greatest challenges to overcome? How were these challenges overcome (or not)?

3. What new advancements or changes do you anticipate in the near future in the field of organ replacement devices or machines?

4. Is there anything else you'd like to share as a clinician reflecting upon the past, present or future of artificial organs?

PROJECT BIONICS is a collaborative history project of The American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, Behring Center, and The National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine, History of Medicine Division.
