Speaker Profile

Ty Smith

Ty Smith attended Harvard College and Medical School, with a subsequent internship at Boston Children's Hospital and residency in anesthesia at the Massachusetts General Hospital.  After two years in the Navy, he spent nine years on the faculty of Stanford University and the remaining years at the University of California, San Diego.  During the 45 years of his professional life, he has spent much of his time with a computer. 

Interests have included cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology, EEG analysis and display, closed-loop control, drug interactions, physiologic and pharmacologic mathematical modeling, simulation, noninvasive monitoring, the human pharmacology of inhaled anesthetic agents, and automated record keeping, including voice recognition.  He was fortunate in that his lab developed the first microcomputer in medicine.  He was a founding Editor of the Journal of Clinical Monitoring, the founding President of the Society for Technology in Anesthesia, and has served on too many committees and helped put together too many meetings to even think about.  As founding Chair of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Electronic Media and Information Technology, he helped bring the ASA into the electronic world.   His current work includes mathematical modeling and simulation of physiology and pharmacology

During this long time, he managed to put together about 400 publications.  Most importantly, he has been blessed to work with some incredibly bright and creative people.  His most satisfying achievement is founding PACEM, the Pacific Academy of Ecclesiastical Music, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to advance and preserve church music.
