Intelligent Medical System for Space and Ground

RosettaMed, Inc. (RMI) proposes to develop and test (1) an optimized, intelligent and cost effective medical system that supports current medical operations concepts performed by non-physician astronauts (or civilian paramedical support personnel) with minimal medical experience who are supported by extensive communications with Earth-based (or medical center based) medical personnel; (2) an embedded real-time, expert system in the medical system that allows capture of expert knowledge and direction and real time distribution of that knowledge and direction from the computer system as well as knowledge and direction from an on-line medical expert such as a medical doctor; (3) a compact, radio frequency linked personal computer device that allows rapid, one-handed text and numeral data entry as well as fully functional keyboard-based data management operations, as opposed to pointer-based menu selections; and (4) an embedded real-time, training system within the medical system that allows on-the spot training of various medical problem case scenarios based on medical diagnostic input, injuries, and illnesses.
