In 1948 he introduced the word biorheology to describe rheology in biological systems.^[3] In 1952 he introduced the word hemorheology, to describe the study of the way blood and blood vessels function as part of the living organism.^[4] In 1966 he established the International Society of Hemorheology, which changed its name and scope in 1969 to the International Society of Biorheology (ISB).^[3] In 1972 the ISB awarded him its Poiseuille gold medal.^[5]
