About Bill Sanders
I was trained as an Electrical Engineer and Computer Scientist and have been working in medical computing for more than 25 years. Until 1997, I was a Senior Research Scientist at Stanford University Medical School. I continue to consult with the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine.

I have a significant record of accomplishments in medical computing. My bibliography includes over 40 papers (see below). I was a member of the Board of Directors of Computers in Cardiology (an international association of physicians, engineers and scientists) for 15 years and served as President for three years. I currently am Director of Information Systems for Computers in Cardiology and operate the Computers in Cardiology web site.

In addition to QCA PlusPlus, I have designed several other important medical computer systems and I also hold a patent for a cardiac monitoring device. In recognition of my achievements, I have been listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World.

If you would like to know more about me and my family, please visit our personal web site at http://sanders.stanford.edu.

Other Medical Computing Systems That I Have Designed:

  1. The Hewlett Packard Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Hemodynamic Analysis System.
  2. The Hewlett Packard Arrhythmia Monitoring System.
  3. The Hewlett Packard Coronary Arteriography Reporting System.
  4. The Hewlett Packard Left Ventricular Analysis System.
  5. The SU-CCSS medical database system.
  6. AAP, a program for the collection and reporting of cardiac angiographic data for the NHLBI-sponsored BARI research project. This program was later adapted for use in angiographic reporting at Stanford Hospital.
