NASA’s Human Research Program has identified the need to improve their capability to predict estimated medical risks during exploration missions, as well as the need to provide computed medical decision support while minimizing medical resource utilization. From May 2017 through October 2017, a research team with the University of Mississippi Electrical Engineering Department conducted interviews with a dozen NASA personnel from the Human Research Program, Life Support Systems Technology Development, Game Changing Development Program, the Wyle Science, Technology and Engineering Group, and MEI Technologies. This report outlines the challenges and gaps identified as a result of these interviews in the Human Research Roadmap towards implementing a sensor-based medical monitoring system in EVA suits, as well as the opportunities in pursuing solutions towards these challenges.
