Processes for Designing Innovative Biomedical Hardware to Use in Space and on Earth

Blog Article

The new era of space exploration is increasing the astronaut's number and diversity in low orbit and beyond.The influx of such a diverse crew population will also Magazines increase the need for medical technologies to ensure safe and productive missions.Such a need represents a unique opportunity to innovate and develop diagnostics and treatment tools to meet future needs.Historically, terrestrial regulatory oversight of biomedical design processes was considered separate from spaceflight regulatory processes because it did not address spaceflight constraints.These constraints challenge the creative development of unique solutions for use in space.

Translation between healthcare innovation in spaceflight to healthcare on Earth and vice versa requires understanding the commonalities, unique needs and constraints.This manuscript provides a 3 Piece Entertainment Unit framework for comparing Earth-space design processes and a perspective on the best practices to improve healthcare equity and health outcomes.
