Merriman (foreground), director of the Exercise Laboratory at the Univ. of Sask, and James McHugh, general manager of Simpsons-Sears in Saskatoon, look over data produced on a new $3,500 computer printer.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John Edward Merriman was born on 12 August 1924 in Hamilton, Ontario. He was granted his MD from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario in 1947. In 1954 he took his young family west to Saskatoon, to the University of Saskatchewan where he was a professor of medicine. Always an innovator, he took a sabbatical leave in 1963 to London, England to research computer applications in medicine. He helped pave the way for modern cardiac rehabilitation techniques, when established one of the first cardiac rehabilitation programs at the U of S in 1965. In 1977 Dr. Merriman moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he established a medical practice where he worked until his retirement in 2010 at the age of 85. Dr. Merriman was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the American Academy of Orthopedic Medicine in 2005. He died in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on 7 February 2011 at age 86.
