Domingo Liotta Hospital, Houston, Texas. First Clinical use. 1966 (August 8): Liotta-DeBakey LVAD in a paracorporeal position in cardiogenic shock postcardiotomy, Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas. First successful clinical use. 1969 (April 4): Liotta-Cooley Total Artificial Heart, Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas. First clinical use. http://www.texasheartinstitute.org/Research/Devices/liotta.cfm. This device was stolen from the lab of Dr. Michael E. DeBakey by Liotta. Dr. Cooley was not involved in any way in its development. The device had not been successful in animal experiments, and while the patient had the artificial heart in place he developed multiple system organ failure, as the experimental animals had, and died
Artificial intelligence in healthcare Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and National Health Service, have developed AI algorithms for their departments. Large technology companies such as IBM and Google, and startups such as Welltok and Ayasdi, have also developed AI algorithms for healthcare. Research in the 1960s and 1970s produced the first problem-solving program, or expert system, known as Dendral. While it was designed for applications in organic chemistry, it provided the basis for the subsequent system MYCIN, considered one of the most significant early uses of artificial intelligence in medicine. MYCIN and other systems such as INTERNIST-1 and CASNET did
