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

Minor Update & Twitter/X

 Hi! SimTIVA has been updated, to introduce the following improvements iPhone functionality has been dramatically improved Fullscreen mode: on the main chart, you can click the "expand" icon to show the chart in fullscreen. This is an improvement after feedback that the chart is small and cannot display much information. Whereas on the fullscreen chart, the infusion regimen, with bolus and rate changes, are visualized on the graph over time - to help understand the relationship between dosing regimen and its effect on CP/CE. Added Alfentanil https://twitter.com/simtiva_app Also, I have been active on Twitter / X as well. You may contact me on Twitter / X for comments, ideas, and suggestions. Twitter and social media are more suitable for discussions. I also offer occasional video tutorials and insights on the Twitter feed. Thanks!
