In the thrilling realm of space exploration, Google and NASA are teaming up to tackle a cosmic challenge: ensuring astronaut health during deep-space missions.
As NASA gears up for the Artemis campaign to return to the Moon, the focus is on innovative healthcare solutions for astronauts, especially when a doctor isn't onboard or communication with Earth is limited.
Enter the Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA), a groundbreaking AI-powered Clinical Decision Support System. This clever tool is designed to help astronauts diagnose and treat medical issues autonomously. With AI at the helm, CMO-DA could revolutionise space-based medical care, supporting missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
The system uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning to analyse crew health in real-time. Trained on spaceflight literature, it provides data-driven medical insights, helping crew medical officers make informed decisions. Initial trials have shown promising results, with the tool effectively diagnosing symptoms using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination framework.
