A wearable space health device for astronauts has been developed through a joint effort led by the Australian National University (ANU).
Industry leaders such as Axiom Space and AI/ML solutions company Aqacia are also involved.
The iLaunch research collaboration intends to employ AI to monitor astronauts' health in real-time during spaceflight.
The device records analyzes, and forecasts astronaut health throughout space missions. Isolated communities located far off could also profit from this technology.
Personalized projections will be possible due to the device's real-time assessment of astronaut fitness and physiology in microgravity.
Using artificial intelligence, ANU will build "Medical Digital Twins" to simulate, diagnose, and forecast astronaut physiology in real-time.
Liquid Instruments and Saber Astronautics, two more cooperating businesses, will create a smooth communication mechanism for real-time health data.
In the project's second phase, Axiom Orbit will test the device in orbit and integrate it for use in the next space missions.
This technique could be useful for commercial flights and remote Earth areas outside space.
This collaboration aims to enhance astronaut health monitoring and advance space exploration.
