Future Health: Leveraging Space for Health Innovation

Abstract

Mr. James Hury, Deputy Director and Chief Innovation Officer for the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) explores the future of health, and how preparing technologies to protect the health of astronauts in deep space can advance health for all humans, wherever they explore. Supported by the NASA Human Research Program (HRP), TRISH is an applied space health research catalyst that funds disruptive, high-impact scientific studies and technologies to equip astronauts for deep space exploration. The institute is seeking bold, courageous proposals from experts in disciplines spanning medicine, science, technology, and engineering who have the ideas and skills that will help us find solutions for the challenges and limitations facing human space travel.
