Santorio Santorio (29 March 1561 – 25 February 1636[1]) whose real name was Santorio Santori[2][3] (or de' Sanctoriis) better known in English as Sanctorius of Padua[4] was an Italian physiologist, physician, and professor, who introduced the quantitative approach into the life sciences and is considered the father of experimental physiology. He is also known as the inventor of several medical devices. His work De Statica Medicina, written in 1614, saw many publications and influenced generations of physicians.
