Terrestrial health applications of visual assessment technology and machine learning in spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome.

PI: A. Tavakkoli

Note: From the abstract: “The neuro-ocular effects of long-duration spaceflight have been termed Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) and are a potential challenge for future, human space exploration. The underlying pathogenesis of SANS remains ill-defined, but several emerging translational applications of terrestrial head-mounted, visual assessment technology and machine learning frameworks are being studied for potential use in SANS. To develop such technology requires close consideration of the spaceflight environment which is limited in medical resources and imaging modalities. This austere environment necessitates the utilization of low mass, low footprint technology to build a visual assessment system that is comprehensive, accessible, and efficient. In this paper, we discuss the unique considerations for developing this technology for SANS and translational applications on Earth.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

Addressing disaster and health risks for sustainable outer space.

Note: From the abstract: “Any future outer space exploration and exploitation should more fully consider disaster and health risks as part of aiming for sustainability. The advent of the so-called ‘New Space’ race, age, or era characterized by democratization, commercialization, militarization, and overlapping outer space activities such as tourism presents challenges for disaster-related and health-related risks in and for outer space. Such challenges have been extensively researched for Earth, but less so for space. This article presents an overview of key aspects for addressing disaster and health risks in outer space within a wider sustainability framing.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
