A Wearable  Physiological Monitoring Platform used in Varying Pressure Environments — Understanding  how physiological signals behave in extreme conditions could lead to monitoring  systems that would improve the health and safety of astronauts during future  long-duration exploration-class missions. A wearable monitoring system would  serve as a constant diagnostic tool that could detect meaningful physiological  changes and inform the user. The objective of this project is to investigate  the feasibility of developing a wearable monitoring platform for extreme  environments and to collect a physiological data set to form a baseline for a  broad array of contexts. The development of such monitoring technologies would  not only change how the space domain deals with the health and safety of  astronauts, but could also transform sectors on Earth such as medical care, defence  and aviation.
