AmigoDoc Development
Dr. Rosen has been interested in computers and how they
might be applied to clinical practice since the late 1970's, when
the Radio Shack TRS-80 was introduced. His first computer had 4K
of RAM and could load a 1K file from a cassette tape recorder in
about 60 seconds [sometimes]. In 1982, he presented a paper on
"The Role of the Microcomputer in Clinical Psychiatric Research, a
Personal Experience" at the Sixth Annual Symposium on Computer
Applications in Medical Care, in Washington D.C. In the course of
his hospital work he developed a computerized patient tracking
system to assist in research, staffing, program management and
program analysis.
In the early 1980's, Dr. Rosen began writing DOS software
for use in his office practice. In 1991, he installed a system in
his office to help manage the psychopharmacological aspects of his
practice. This ultimately evolved into a
Windows program, "AmigoDoc", now in use across the country.
In the past 7 years, he has devoted his efforts to rewriting,
updating, and expanding
AmigoDoc to take advantage of the tremendous changes in software
and hardware development over the past 15 years.
