NASA is developing a modular health maintenance facility for space missions, featuring a physician workstation with adaptable software modules. These tools, tested on Earth, aim to support healthcare providers in space and the private sector.

Area of Science:

  • Space exploration
  • Medical informatics
  • Human health in space

Background:

  • The expansion of space exploration necessitates advanced, self-contained health maintenance facilities.
  • A critical component is the physician or astronaut workstation, serving as the interface between computer resources and healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and develop an interface for a space station's health maintenance facility.
  • To create modular software applicable for both space missions and terrestrial medical practices.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a physician/astronaut workstation interface.
  • Creation of dual-use software modules: patient scheduling, master patient index, pharmacy, laboratory, medical library, problem list/progress notes, and digital medical records.
