Public space agencies have identified their need for a portable, autonomous system that can identify symptoms, match treatment options, diagnose or predict health states, and transmit the information to a base (e.g., space station, clinic, hospital). In this context, the proposed research will develop an autonomous, wireless sensing platform that monitors, records, and analyzes key physiological parameters and their response to associated physical activity. The Non-invasive Physiological Activity Monitoring System (NiPAMS) consists of purpose-built hardware controlled by native software that runs Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to deliver physically verifiable, real-time biometric measurements related to the four vital signs - heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The outcomes of the research are: (i) numerical models that simulate the relationship between digital signal processing derived measurements and sensors signals, (ii) real-time DSP algorithms that convert sensor signals to physiological and physical activity metrics, and (iii) quantification of exertion levels and physical motion to improve physiological measurements. The proposed research will contribute to Canada's prominence in the space exploration community by ensuring the health, wellness, and fitness of astronauts who endeavor to explore beyond the moon. In collaboration with our industrial partner, MDAVSS, and with the support of specialists at McGill's Faculty of Medicine, this proposal is motivated by the prospect of ushering in an age of accessible health, wellness, and fitness technology solutions by leveraging the space community's imperative to provide computerized healthcare to astronauts. In doing so, Canadians will benefit from the increased accessibility to physiological monitoring via a user-friendly device that will enable the early identification of symptoms, fitness tracking, and updated predictions of health trajectories. The project will train one PDF, two Ph.D. students, and two M.Eng. students in leading edge technologies, preparing them to contribute to the development of industries that will benefit the Canadian economy.

公共航天机构已经确定了他们对便携式自主系统的需求，该系统可以识别症状、匹配治疗方案、诊断或预测健康状况并将信息传输到基地（例如空间站、诊所、医院）。在这种背景下，拟议的研究将开发一个自主的无线传感平台，用于监测、记录和分析关键的生理参数及其对相关身体活动的反应。非侵入性生理活动监测系统 (NiPAMS) 由由本机软件控制的专用硬件组成，该软件运行数字信号处理 (DSP) 算法，以提供与四种生命体征相关的可物理验证的实时生物测量值：心率、呼吸频率、血压和体温。研究成果包括：(i) 模拟数字信号处理得出的测量值与传感器信号之间关系的数值模型，(ii) 将传感器信号转换为生理和身体活动指标的实时 DSP 算法，以及 (iii) 量化体力水平和身体运动，以改善生理测量。 拟议的研究将通过确保努力探索月球以外的宇航员的健康和健身，为加拿大在太空探索界的突出地位做出贡献。通过与我们的工业合作伙伴 MDAVSS 合作，并在麦吉尔医学院专家的支持下，该提案的动机是利用太空界的迫切需求，迎来一个可获取的健康、保健和健身技术解决方案时代的前景。为宇航员提供计算机化的医疗保健。在此过程中，加拿大人将受益于通过用户友好的设备增加生理监测的可及性，该设备将能够及早识别症状、跟踪健康状况并更新健康轨迹预测。 该项目将培养一名 PDF 博士、两名博士生。学生和两名工程硕士。学生学习前沿技术，帮助他们为有利于加拿大经济的行业发展做出贡献。
