Health and Biomedical Design projects 2023
All of these projects are based on needs for our future exploration missions and part of our Human Research Program (HRP). Here are the Risk assessments, Risk evidence, and GAP assessments

New projects and continuing projects
There are currently several new projects that are being developed with our flight surgeons and HRP folks. A few of them will include AI aspects.
For the students that worked on projects last year, they can continue to work toward solutions on those or choose a new project to do.

Using AI to Synthesize Medical data- tHIS PROJECT ALSO IN THE sOFTWARE pROGRAM
The Challenge: The use of AI to synthesize medical data can be invaluable in space exploration. AI can take multiple medical inputs from various sources and provide a comprehensive analysis of the health of astronauts. This can help a medical officer accurately assess the risk of a mission and provide essential medical advice to help astronauts stay safe and healthy. AI can also be used to provide tailored medical advice based on the individual needs of astronauts, helping to ensure that they are provided with the best possible care in space.

Biofilm Q&A
| initial_questions_for_biofilm_project.docx |
Microbial growth, biofilm formation, stress response, and pathogenicity are affected by microgravity. Increased resistance to antibiotics in bacteria isolated from the ISS has often been reported. Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus spp. isolates from the ISS have been shown to harbor plasmid-encoded transfer genes.
Multi-resistant biofilm-forming pathogens on the International Space Station - PubMed
The International Space Station (ISS) is a confined and closed habitat with unique conditions such as cosmic radiation, and microgravity. These conditions have a strong effect on the human and spacecraft microflora. They can affect the immune response of the crew-members, thus posing a threat to the …

Attached is a document I have put together summarizing the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for IV fluid recognized for the IVGEN and IVGEN Mini IV fluid testing. There is a table that lays out each USP standard requirement for .9% IV fluid within the document. Because each standard is mandatory to produce safe IV fluid, I cannot provide a list of the "most important" standards because they are all equally important. To help with understanding the water purification and sterilization processes, I have also included information about several water purification methods with a process flow chart that shows the steps to achieve sterile water for injection from potable water.

Attached is the paper about the water purification and sterilization device mentioned in today's meeting. Towards the end of the paper, it details all the tests the product water goes through to meet the required standards.
