Just started! It's not too late to join this wonderful free event on #SpaceMedicine. Now speaking: Lisa Campbell, President - #Canadian #Space Agency (CSA)
2/ Health is about well being
3/ Accelerated aging effects from living in space: 6 months in space ~ 10-20 years of aging on Earth. We don't know yet if it the aging stabilizes or continues. Open problem: no health solution for deep space missions. We need to create future deep space health systems.
4/ Health solutions for deep space will include health data, hardware, software, AI applications, simulations and training. Looking into how space approaches can help underserved population on earth.
5/ How can Canada play a larger role? 15 senior leaders in Advisory Council on Deep Space Healthcare: gov, research institutions, NASA....
Focus: Medicine, AI, indigenous people, space and health policy.
6/ Health Beyond report for those interested: asc-csa.gc.ca/pdf/eng/public…
7/ Canadian healthcare system is in crisis and ranks 10th of 11th nations. There are healthcare gap between urban and rural, indigenous and non-indigenous.
8/ Principles of deep space medicine:
9/ 8 recommendations by the Health Beyond - Report of the Advisory Council on Deep-Space Healthcare. You can view it here. Recommend downloading the attached pdf version. The report is available in English and French. asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/publicatio…
10/ Goal: Leverage space for the benefit of Canadians. 🇨🇦 strengths include #robotics & #healthcare. Canada is good at holding vision -- now focusing on remote / mobile solutions for planet and in space. Medical solutions for deep space: Modular, portable, scalable, upgradable.
11/ We're trying to commercialize Moon as part of the Lunar economy.
#Artemis timeline:
2024 - humans going around the #Moon
2025 - Humans to land on the Moon (including the 1st woman)
12/ Mid-term vision: Astronauts from the USA, Canada and other countries will venture together to explore deep space. Ultimate goal: bring astronauts safely to Mars and back in the next decade, decade and a a half (~2035)
13/ 5 key points for innovation in (Canadian) healthcare:
14/ #Heatlhcare conclusions summarized by David Naylor from University of Toronto. Define focus that will move us (Canada?) forward.
15/ Quadruple aim for #health. Inspirations and aspirations. Carefully crafted recommendations. People on the front lines took some of the hardest hits during the pandemic.
16/ One of obvious options for #LongTermCare: #remote care. Be cared for at home.
17/ #AI in #healthcare: Under-ututilized in #Canada. Tremendous capability.
18/ Concluding remarks by David Naylor from University of Toronto
19/ Reference to Eric Topol's paper "High-performance medicine: the convergence of human and artificial intelligence" published in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4159…
20/ PANEL: Deep Space Healthcare through the Eyes of Healthcare Practitioners. Alex: Congrats to Canada for aspiring to be a healthcare leader including remote and indigenous population
22/ PANEL: Raffi: Although we are minimizing the risk, the risk is not 0. Worst fear: having to evacuate somebody. How to empower individuals to maximize care and treatment? Success: foresee medical issue before it becomes severe.
23/ PANEL: Leila: Access issues: transportation intrusive for simple diagnostic tests. Major interest to indigenous services 🇨🇦: access to teaching & edu tools through innovation. Support diagnostics; safety; POC; ease of use. Connection ~ limitation.Triage, stabilize, evacuate.
24/ PANEL: Alexander:
- Not all rural areas are remote
- Communication can be lost or is non-existent
- What AI needs to know? Start building a database.
- Inspire and train Canadian trainees. You can be challenged with things you see infrequently. We can train AI to do it.
25/ PANEL: Q: Key medical conditions that affect remote communities?
A:
- Dr Sarah: 1) Diagnostics. Not being able to keep ppl in the community. Need XRays, labs, 📞tests
2) Cancer care
- David: 3) Dialysis
- Raffi: 4) Medical issues needing imaging/lab
- Alex: 5) CT scanner
26/ PANEL: Q: Have you tested automatic, automated, autonomous "self-care" devices/procedures on the @ISS_Research ?
A:
- David: 1) Smart t-shirt w/ monitoring
2) Lab in the chip system. Sample analysis.
- Raffi: 3) Ultrasound testing
27/ CSA’s 🧑🚀🩺 Topical Team by Luchino Cohen
