THE space tourism has been growing rapidly for several years. Amazon boss Jeff Bezos was part of the first cosmic tourist trip in July 2021. SpaceX launched four tourists into space a few months later.
However, while SpaceX is focusing on the Starship to send colonies to Mars, scientists are alsoeffects of microgravity – the low gravity condition present in space – about healthThis study concerns individuals suffering from this disorder. health problems like heart failure. In fact, this crew change now includes: people which ones less fit physically, unlike professional astronauts who are meticulously selected and trained.
Digital twins could be used to improve tourists’ space preparation
In a recently published study, Dr. Lex van Loon and colleagues used a computer model. Predicting reactions of heart patients during space travel. These researchers use advanced mathematical models to simulate the effect of microgravity on the cardiovascular system.
Iheart failureThis condition, which affects more than 100 million people worldwide, poses a particular risk. Simulations show that this lower gravity increases cardiac output. this is dangerous for patients. It can lead to pulmonary edema, a serious condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs. serious complications.
Another innovation is development. digital twinsThese detailed virtual models of physiological systems make it possible to simulate different scenarios and Predicting the effects of microgravity about people’s health. For heart patients, these virtual twins can help determine the necessary pre-flight preparations and the most effective interventions on board. This ensures better safety and well-being for space tourists.
This research is important to ensure this. dream of traveling in spacetoday it is reserved for billionaires, i.e. one day it will be available safely deliver to a wider audience.
