Space Medicine Requirements open to Innovation in Biomedical Engineering
Abstract:
The International Space Medicine Summit II sought to identify mature data with significant clinical implications for Terrestrial populations. This work aims at identifying innovation in biomedical engineering (BE), involving space medicine and translation.
Methods:
Following PRISMA Guidelines, we sought to review the published literature and NASA technical resources (from 2012 to 2017) to identify space medical technology which has been translated for use by private costumers.
Results:
The analysis focuses on technical and medical requirements, human health and Terrestrial implication.
Discussion:
Innovation in BE arises from matching space medical requirements for developing autonomous medical systems.
Significance:
Highlighting the use and benefits of aerospace medical research for Terrestrial medical care.

Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...
