Aims:
- To determine how the current-ISS resources and protocols function in addressing the following four exploration-relevant medical events: a. corneal abrasion, b. appendicitis, c. renal stone and d. periodic health evaluation.
- To determine whether automation can decrease the time to execute a procedure
- To determine whether automation can decrease the number of data transfer steps for each medical event.
- To determine whether automation can decrease the search time for and retrieval time of health records.
Integration/Unique Aspects:
This task’s deliverable is a component of the medical system being developed under the task “Exploration Medical System Demonstration”.

Description:
The deliverable is white paper outlining the findings from the evaluation. The findings include 1) identification of gaps in the current ISS medical capability as it applies to exploration-class missions, 2) how newly developed tools enable minimally trained caregivers to autonomously execute clinical tasks and, subsequently, increase the quality of clinical deliverables and, 3) where automation can be applied to decrease the time to execute procedures task, data transfer steps and search for health records. The delivery of the white paper will contribute to the closure of Gap 5.01 by addressing interim stages 2 and 3.
