1960s

Dr. Arthur Guyton starts mathematical analysis of integrative physiology (Millhorn and Guyton, 1965).

1970s

Over the next 10 years, Guyton and colleagues (1972) developed a model of cardiovascular physiology. Guyton used the 1972 model to test a variety of physiological hypotheses, mainly focusing on acute and chronic blood pressure control and the role of the kidney in the long term regulation of blood pressure.

1980s

In 1983, with the advent of the personal computer, Coleman and Randall developed a model of human physiology called Human (1983).

1990s

Human was expanded into a Windows software package called Quantitative Circulatory Physiology (QCP).

QCP was limited. All the physiological descriptions were written in C and compiled into an executable. But there was a way to make the physiology more accessible. With the help of Dr. Robert Hester, Dr. Coleman created...
