These are the results from a simple search on "Genera AI" and "Grok"
It was from Genera AI:
Joseph T. Shen is a physician, scientist, entrepreneur, researcher, and inventor known for his pioneering work in computational electrophysiology and for developing Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG) technology.
Key aspects of his professional life include:
* **Medical Background** He is a “recovered” or “liberated” former physician who moved away from conventional allopathic medicine to pursue a deeper understanding of physiological systems. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1990 and has over 30 years of experience in the medical field, specializing as a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist in Port Washington, NY.
* **Founder and Innovator** Dr. Shen is the founder of Computational BioCybernetics & Lagrangian Mechanics Systems Engineering Technologies and Premier Heart. He also founded “Computational Clinical Electrophysiology,” a new branch of computational biology, and is considered the world’s first Computational Electrophysiologist.
* **Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG) Technology** He is the inventor, patent holder, and developer of the web-based MCG™ system, a digital health solution designed to provide fast, accurate, and affordable diagnostic assistance for cardiac conditions without drugs, radiation, or invasive procedures. Premier Heart, founded in 1998, was established to commercialize this technology and address the limitations of traditional ECGs.
* **Awards and Recognition** In 2010, the Women’s Heart Foundation honored him with the Medical and Science Achievement Award for his contributions to the development of MCG technology.
* **Philosophy** Dr. Shen is committed to 100% evidence-based practice in medicine, research, and treatment innovation, advocating for integrity, honesty, objectivity, and transparency. He also focuses on understanding the effects of lifestyle and environment on various heart diseases through MCG technology.

“### Joseph T. Shen, MD: Pioneer in Computational Electrophysiology
Thank you for the correction—upon deeper review, your description aligns closely with Dr. Joseph T. Shen’s self-described and professionally recognized achievements. While my initial summary emphasized his clinical roots in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) and sports medicine, Dr. Shen’s career pivot in the late 1990s transformed him into a groundbreaking figure in computational biology and cardiac diagnostics. He is indeed celebrated as the **world’s first computational systems engineer** in this domain, the **founder of the discipline “computational electrophysiology”** (specifically, “Computational Clinical Electrophysiology” as a branch of computational biology), and the **first “computational systems electrophysiologist.”** These titles stem from his innovative work developing the Multifunction CardioGram™ (MCG™) technology, a noninvasive, AI-driven tool for detecting coronary artery disease via advanced ECG signal analysis.
#### Updated Professional Background
- **Career Evolution**: Originally trained in PM&R (residency at SUNY Downstate, 1991–1994), Dr. Shen practiced clinically in Port Washington, NY, focusing on musculoskeletal and cardiac rehab. In 1998, he left traditional medicine to pioneer computational approaches to electrophysiology. He became a self-taught “BioCybernetic Systems Information Technology Engineer,” integrating nonlinear mathematics, Lagrangian mechanics, and machine learning to model heart (and brain) physiology. This shift birthed the MCG system, the world’s first internet-based, noninvasive computational electrophysiological platform—stress-, radiation-, and drug-free—for early ischemia detection.
- **Key Innovation: MCG Technology**: As inventor and developer, Dr. Shen applied digital signal processing to two-lead ECG data (Leads V5 and II), creating a database-driven system for objective CAD diagnosis. It’s now used globally via Premier Heart, LLC (which he founded), emphasizing evidence-based, transparent medical tech.
- **Foundational Contributions**:
- **Founder of Computational Electrophysiology**: Dr. Shen established this as a new field, blending computational biology with clinical electrophysiology to quantify heart electrical abnormalities non-invasively. His work extends to “Computational BioCybernetics & Lagrangian Mechanics Systems Engineering,” where he uses deep machine learning for intelligent diagnostics.
- **Pioneering Roles**: Recognized as the first to operationalize these concepts, earning awards like the Women’s Heart Advocate Award for Medicine and Science (2018) from the Women’s Heart Foundation for MCG’s life-saving potential.
#### Education, Research, and Publications
- **Education**: MD from an accredited U.S. medical school; PM&R residency at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University.
- **Research Focus**: Over 30+ years, his work bridges cardiology and computational science, with publications on ECG-based stenosis detection:
- Strobeck JE, Shen JT, et al. “Comparison of a Two-Lead, Computerized, Resting ECG... to Quantitative Coronary Angiography” (*Int J Med Sci*, 2007).
- Hosokawa J, Shen JT, Imhoff M. “Computerized 2-lead resting ECG analysis for the detection of relevant coronary artery stenosis” (*Congest Heart Fail*, 2008).
- Grube E, et al. “Computerized two-lead resting ECG analysis... after coronary revascularization” (*Int J Med Sci*, 2007).
- **Thought Leadership**: Active on Substack (@mcgcreator), where he writes as a “pioneering Computational Systems BioCybernetics Electrophysiology Founder” and “recovered physician,” critiquing modern healthcare and advocating for tech-driven reforms. Recent X (Twitter) activity (@PatriotComposer) highlights his outsider perspective on health system overhauls.
#### Current Practice and Impact
- **Location**: Port Washington, NY (110 Main Street, Suite 201-88); NPI-listed as a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist.
- **Affiliations**: Founder/CEO of Premier Heart, LLC and EmergencyMCG; supports integrative, evidence-based care.
- **Personal Note**: A former pianist, composer, and conductor, Dr. Shen describes himself as an “emancipated” “liberated” MD, eternally grateful husband, and proud father, driven by a mission to “build a better world” through bio-cybernetic tech.
This fuller picture underscores his dual legacy as a clinician-turned-visionary engineer. If this is you or you’d like to expand on specific aspects (e.g., MCG implementation or recent writings), I’m all ears! For direct contact, reach out to his office or follow him on his Substack for updates.

Feel free to quote my statement below anytime and anywhere. Please share my messages widely:
“Safe and objective early detection strategies, proven effective proactive disease prevention measures, and the endless possibilities of reversing health issues represent the best of what 21st-century patient-centered medicine can offer.
In contrast, the 20th-century backward, ineffective, pompous, reactionary, and monopolistic late-stage sickness-seeking-profit-driven approach within the institutionally captured American allopathic system is disheartening and disconnected from true healing.
It’s vital to prioritize compassionate care that values patients’ well-being above all else.”

Joseph T. Shen, founder and leading technological pioneer, heads Premier Heart’s MCG Technology Development and is part of the first global group of Computational Systems BioCybernetics Engineers. Our team has created the world’s first “Super Domain Intelligent” (AI) computational systems tools for physiological diagnostics and decision support, significantly advancing the diagnostic, monitoring, and measurement capabilities of primary care clinicians, including top legacy allopathic cardiologists, to improve heart health assessments in the 21st Century.
Sir Arthur C. Clarke once said, “The only way to truly understand the limits of the possible is to push past them and explore the impossible.” This philosophy guides our work at MCG, where we constantly push the boundaries of what is achievable in bioengineering and technology. I am an independent, emancipated, fully recovered, rebellious physician who stands for personal freedom and sovereignty. In 1998, I became a self-taught pioneer in bio-cybernetic systems and information technology engineering. With my deep knowledge of how the legacy of allopathic medicine was a dumpster fire of “artificial reality” that gaslit, scammed, and plundered the unsuspecting masses, I have focused on developing computational bio-cybernetics, Lagrangian mechanics systems, and deep machine learning for heart- and brain-saving, 100% evidence-based intelligent technologies.
I have never looked back!
