Journey
STANPUMP and Open Source SimTIVA's mathetical calculations to PKPD are based on STANPUMP, a computer program created by Dr. Steven Shafer, written in C programming language and runs on MS-DOS. As its core, STANPUMP gives SimTIVA the ability to solve the equations to CP and CE targeting. It is very generous and visionary of Dr. Shafer to share the source code to STANPUMP on the public domain (available on OpenTCI ) so that many other PK and TCI simulators could be built upon STANPUMP's pharmacokinetic engine, not to mention many more pump manufacturers who build TCI pumps based on Dr. Shafer's work. My programming skills are limited. SimTIVA started off as a small personal project, and my initial task was to transcribe STANPUMP (written in C) to JavaScript, which I am more familiar with. Today, SimTIVA has grown into a somewhat mature product and has attracted some international recognition. This is a stage which I had not imagined. To take this project forward, as encourage...
