Fixed-platform ballistocardiography for hemodynamic monitoring in deep space
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Spaceflight is known to cause cardiovascular deconditioning and increased risk for cardiovascular diseases due to exposure to microgravity and space radiation. As space agencies push toward deep space, most current space-compatible cardiovascular monitoring instruments used to mitigate this are not practical in the expected small volumes of deep space transports (DSTs). This work proposes the use of a novel monitoring system designed for DSTs that combines fixed-platform ballistocardiography with other noninvasive sensors to practically measure hemodynamic changes indicative of cardiovascular deconditioning in deep space. The system was built and characterized, then deployed for human testing in the confined microgravity environment of parabolic flight. The results of this testing indicate that the signal quality of the proposed system was higher than the previous state of the art in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, and that relevant hemodynamic changes could be detected.
