Course Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand and apply different transdisciplinary approaches for medical technology design for space applications
  • Recognizes the different sensors and medical technologies for human health monitoring (stress monitoring cases)
  • Understand space-related environmental factors affecting medical devices in space
  • Forms a constructive approach to the health-related issues and risks occuring in a given manned space mission (use cases presented in the courses) 
  • Understands the limitations of cyber-human interfaces, data collection caveats and methodology, data processing for AI powered applications
  • Integrate the transdisciplinary knowledge (basics of physiology and psychology, technical knowledge of sensing technologies and data processing) to form a general design of personalized health system for manned space missions
  • Prototype the ideas in the area of personalized space medicine for data collection and use in AI based applications - Prototyping, IP protection, GDPR.

Description:

This course provides a comprehensive overview of medical technologies used in space missions. Students will explore both existing and future-oriented technologies critical to supporting human health in long-duration spaceflight. Through theoretical content and practical scenarios, the course emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of space healthcare, bridging medicine, engineering, and data sciences. Participants will engage in scenario-based learning, team projects, and conceptual design tasks for space healthcare systems.
