Google and NASA are working on an artificial intelligence technology that aims to diagnose and treat the illnesses of astronauts in space. Although still in its early stages, the technology is already yielding accurate results.
A noteworthy collaboration has been established between the US-based technology giant Google and NASA. An artificial intelligence developed within the scope of this partnership will be used to diagnose and treat health problems that astronauts sent to space for long-duration missions may experience. Let’s take a closer look at the details of this collaboration.
Although plans to send humans to space have been discussed for a very long time, no concrete steps have been taken for now. However, NASA‘s effort to establish a base on the Moon has progressed more than ever in recent times. As such, people who settle on the Moon may end up staying there for a very long time. This is precisely where the collaboration with Google focuses. After all, an astronaut who “settles” on the Moon could experience any number of health problems. Artificial intelligence will come into play at this exact point.
The new technology is promising, even in its early stages!
The project, named the “Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant,” is still in its very early stages. However, according to the announcement, the artificial intelligence that will act as a doctor for the astronauts can already determine correct diagnoses and treatment processes even in its current state. With the activation of this technology, astronauts will not need a doctor on Earth for illnesses they may experience during long-duration missions.
After reading this news, you may have wondered how astronauts are treated in space today. Let us explain; astronauts currently on the International Space Station (ISS) receive training on basic medical procedures. They are also informed in detail on subjects such as intravenous fluid administration, intubation, and wound care, in addition to medications. The artificial intelligence to be developed by Google and NASA will improve this situation.
