Summary
Professor Josef Charvát, a prominent internist and endocrinologist, has been following the issues of cybernetics and computers from the very beginning. In the difficult times of the 1950s, he was heavily involved in the organization of seminars and meetings of workers in technical and medical fields interested in cybernetics. Later, in his books for the general public, he foresaw a significant application of computers in medicine. His predictions are quite accurate even 50 years after the publication of these ideas.
Keywords:
