Aims:
Projects will be conducted to explore avenues that will:
1. Define an appropriate data architecture to enable the medical system to communicate with all relevant medical devices.
2. Determine how the medical system will communicate with the vehicle.
3. Determine how the medical system will handle incoming data.
4. Determine how the medical system will communicate with ground-based medical resources.
5. Define what communication standards will be implemented for communication with the medical system.
6. To refine the human system interface for crew interaction with the medical system.
Ground Analog Resources

Ground-Based Flight Analogs
- Controlled Research Analog, Long Duration (4 months or more) – isolated and confined with spaceflight mission scenario [e.g., NEK/Russian Chamber]
- Controlled Research Analog, Medium Duration (2 to 4 months) – isolated and confined with spaceflight mission scenario
- Controlled Research Analog, Short Duration (2 months or less) – isolated and confined with spaceflight mission scenario [e.g., HERA, NEEMO]
- ICE Field Analog, Long Duration (4 months or more) – isolated, confined and extreme; may not have spaceflight mission scenario [e.g., Antarctica]
- ICE Field Analog, Short Duration (4 months or less) – isolated, confined and extreme; may not have spaceflight mission scenario
- Medical Simulation Laboratory (MSL)
- Reduced Gravity Flight
- TBD
