Pharmaceutical and biomedical challenges for crew autonomy in health preservation during future exploration missions
Medicine and health challenges for astronauts managing their own care on future space missions
AI simplified
Abstract
Human space missions beyond Low Earth Orbit may require increased crew autonomy in health management due to communication delays.
- Long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars present unique biomedical challenges, such as radiation exposure and altered gravity.
- Pharmaceutical and biomedical strategies are being reviewed to support health preservation during these missions.
- Technologies for assuring drug stability and storage are essential, especially considering potential changes in drug behavior in space.
- Non-pharmacological tools for diagnostics and trauma care could enhance medical self-sufficiency for crews.
- Advances in these areas may benefit healthcare solutions in remote or underserved locations on Earth.
