Physiological problems demand the capacity for handling analogue data as weil as for providing answers from calculations in “real‐time.” The biocomputation facility of the University of Utah has been designed for these problems. This system permits simultaneous usage from several remote stations. Problems which have utilized this system include: the distribution of transit times for dye in the circulatory system, beat‐to‐beat calculation of cardiac output, heart rate, stroke volume, and other parameters from the aortic pulse pressure, image processing of radiopaque dye injections, and an electrocardiographic diagnosis program.
