About James Stewart CampbellM. Nathaniel Mead

Dr James Stewart Campbell received his bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University in 1966 and then went on to study medicine at the Albany Medical College in Albany NY receiving his MD degree in 1970. After completing a straight-surgical internship at the University of Washington he helped found The Country Doctor Clinic in Seattle and practiced general medicine there until 1975. In 1976 Dr. Campbell sfounded the nonprofit Mountain Peoples Clinic and had a successful practice of general medicine. He also taught electronics at Tri-County Community College in Murphy NC.Dr. Campbell took a leave from clinical medicine in 1986 to work in biomedical engineering specializing in biological-to-electronic interfacing. His design projects have included air plethysmography non-invasive blood pressure devices ultrasound imaging and flowmeters photo-plethysmography fluorescence microscopy bio-impedance bio-acoustics intra-cardiac sensor-stimulators and implantable neural probe systems.In 2010 Dr. Campbell started a thermography service for Integrative Life Solutions Inc. in Clemmons NC. Over the next 7 years the practice became a successful provider of general and breast thermography. After retiring from medical practice in 2017 he assembled the wealth of objective thermal data from the service into a huge spreadsheet derived from over one thousand imaging sessions. These thermal images and numerical data along with much additional research and writing help of his co-author form the foundation of this book. Dr. Campbell lives in Pfafftown North Carolina. He is a Life Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and a Senior Member of the American Academy of Thermology (AAT).M.
