The SGAC have instigated a Digital Mars Analog Simulation to be developed and implemented. Using KYMIRA's non-invasive, continuous, biomonitoring smart garments as a potential scenario within a Mars
Habitat or during excursions. This telemedicine solution can help to activity monitor and track astronaut health trends over the duration of the mission as well as accelerate clinical decision making when rapid decline or an acute event takes place. The smart garment is worn under EVA suits, similar to compression clothing. Garment sensors enable non-invasive, continuous measurements.
