Vital signs tracker

This market analysis seeks to identify and evaluate existing technologies for continuous monitoring of vital signs, crucial for the health of astronauts during space missions. The real-time tracking of parameters such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, volume status, cardiac output, and body temperature is essential for early detection of changes like circulatory disorders, sleep disturbances, or dehydration. Such early detection is vital for preventing potential pathological changes and for personalized planning of mission activities. In the long term, this technology aims to enhance understanding of the effects of microgravity and other extreme conditions on the human body, and to mitigate or prevent potentially harmful consequences. The analysis will critically assess existing wearable technologies available in Germany, evaluating their suitability for deployment in space environments. It will also identify companies capable of developing or adapting such technologies for space applications. The goal is to gain a comprehensive overview of available technologies and their potential for use in space, ensuring astronaut safety and well-being during extended missions.
