We had several members express interest in CDSS (clinical decision support systems) in space, and/or systems engineering.
So we would like to start a new subgroup developing a prototype CDSS for space. In the future, we could submit to proposal calls for running our software on hardware in space (or cubsats or high altitude balloon flights).
As a starting point, previous NASA interns developed an agentic AI system to make autonomous decisions about anomalies in a simulated plant growth system.
Their talk describing their work is available here: [COMING SOON]
These materials could be used as a jumping off point, to further expand and develop into a human-centric CDSS. Since there is very little longitudinal data from humans in space, we would need to develop synthetic data with built-in anomalies for the CDSS to detect and address. We could potentially use the Twin Study as a starting point for generating synthetic data. The NASA Twins Study: A multidimensional analysis of a year-long human spaceflight - PMC
Please comment below if you’re interested in contributing and/or helping to lead this project.
Hi!! Can I join? >:D I just started my Master’s in Data Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. I might not be as experienced, but I can contribute in some shape or form!
@lauren.sanders Thank you for tagging me! This is fantastic. I’m so excited. I really hope this will be a great opportunity to learn and gain more experience.
Exciting! I would love to join this project. If possible, can meetings be in the late afternoons or evenings? I have school so it is hard for me to attend early morning meetings.
Thank you for expressing your interest in this subgroup! We’ll hold our first meeting sometime during the week of February 23, and then continue meeting probably biweekly. Please fill out your typical availability here: First CDSS Subgroup Meeting - When2meet
As you’re thinking about your potential contributions, please keep in mind that we need someone to help lead this subgroup.
