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.

公共空间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、诊断或预测健康状态，并将信息传输到基地（例如，空间站、诊所、医院）。在这种情况下，拟议的研究将开发一个自主的无线传感平台，监测，记录和分析关键生理参数及其对相关身体活动的反应。无创生理活动监测系统（NiPAMS）由专用硬件组成，由运行数字信号处理（DSP）算法的本地软件控制，以提供与四个生命体征（心率、呼吸率、血压和体温）相关的物理可验证的实时生物特征测量。研究成果包括：（i）模拟数字信号处理导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）量化运动水平和身体运动以改善生理测量值。 拟议的研究将有助于加拿大在太空探索界的突出地位，确保奋进探索月球以外的宇航员的健康，健康和健身。通过与我们的工业合作伙伴MDAVSS合作，并在麦吉尔大学医学院专家的支持下，该提案的动机是通过利用太空社区的必要性为宇航员提供计算机化医疗保健，从而迎来一个可访问的健康，健康和健身技术解决方案时代的前景。在这样做的过程中，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，该设备将能够早期识别症状，跟踪健康状况，并更新健康轨迹的预测。 该项目将培养一名PDF，两名博士。学生，和两名工程硕士学生在领先的技术，准备他们的贡献，将有利于加拿大经济的产业发展。
