Software expert, inventor, and entrepreneur Tony Bergman taught himself how to code from books at the age of 15. The computer whiz would often visit his local Radio Shack in St. Petersburg, where he met his soon-to-be-business partner, Mike Berry. At 16, Tony started a business with Mike called, “The Programming Force,” where the duo would program newly-purchased computers for Radio Shack customers.

 

With over 40 years of experience, Tony is now an established software and product developer, and has worked on over seventeen engineering teams developing new products. He is the creator of the programming language, Robot Control Language™ (RCL), used at the University of South Florida’s Moffitt Cancer Research Center, the Advanced Biosensors Laboratory, as well as at Honeywell International and private medical companies. His specialties include: Algorithm Development and Coding for: (1) Embedded Software and Robotics; (2) Pattern Recognition software; (3) Laboratory and Medical Devices; (4) Real-time Industrial and Aerospace Systems; and (5) Internet and Distributed computing. 

 

Tony is also the founder and developer of PHOOSM™ Technology (Procedural Heavy Object Oriented State Machines™), US Patent #10,691,113, which is a breakthrough methodology that uses OHI (Optimized Human Intelligence) to create elegant solutions to real-world problems. Tony’s system, which teaches people of all ages how to program, received approval for all 20 patent claims. This software developer's specialization in real-time imaging & pattern recognition software, enabled the award of US Patent #5,838,820 for his Pattern Recognition Apparatus and Method (1998), and a patent-pending for Biometric Signal Processing: System for Determining Cardiac Function (US20080183232), along with Drs. Sterling, Voss, and Mills. In addition, he designed the embedded master control software for the entire KeyTrak® Security System (1995), FloWave 1000 Heart Monitor (2005), and the PMACS Water Concentrator (2009-Present). Tony has served as Senior Software Engineer to both KeyTrak® Inc. - for 12 years, and Woolsthorpe Technologies, now Cardiac Profiles, for 5 years.

 

Along with Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa FL), Tony’s company, IntelliSense Design, received the James & Esther King Biomedical Research Program Grant for 2009-10, for the automation of cancer cell recognition from microscope images. More recently, Tony has worked with Dr. Fernandez on enhancing the original PRS which has now morphed into the patent pending, "Advanced AI/PRS." Tony is an honor’s graduate of Northeast High School (St. Pete, FL), and the University of South Florida’s Governor’s Honors Program for Physics, where he held an internship as a computer programmer for Jim Walter Research Corporation (1980-81). And, at 16 years old, Tony was quite probably the youngest programmer subcontracted by Honeywell for NASA’s Space Shuttle program. He was contracted again in 2015 to write software for NASA and Lockheed Martin’s “Orion & Special Projects.” Overall, Tony is most excited to use “the heart” of the Robot Control Language™, PHOOSM™ and the Advanced AI/PRS, in Global Health Enterprises' products to help cure diseases around the world.
