Remote Monitoring of a Heterogeneous Sensor Network for Biomedical Research in Space

摘要

The objective of this research is to present the design and development of a heterogeneous sensor network and remote experiment server with personality modules to service microgravity research in biomedical engineering. We present the architecture for cardiac, metabolic and ocular research to be conducted on the International Space Station. The purpose of this project is to assess, understand, mitigate, and manage the risks associated with long-term exposure to the space environment. It is anticipated that the ground-based, spin-off use of the experiments will contribute to the improvement of health care for the people on Earth.
