'Happy space suits' may prevent depression in astronauts

Scientists are developing 'delirious space suits' which can monitor the symptoms of depression in astronauts, and improve the atmosphere of spacecraft as well as provide real-time feedback to promote the mood of the occupants Are there.


Depression is a big problem in space, because according to researchers from Florida Polytechnic University in the US, astronauts will have adverse effects due to inadequate exercise, excessive light contact and lack of sleep.


A technique known as Smart sensor skin (S3), recognizes emotional and physical depletion in the astronauts through the wireless sensor, which will send immediate feedback to improve "atmosphere", and astronauts to meet their individual needs. Will be able to accommodate the environment.


Adjustments include changes in temperature, light exposure, light color and oxygen levels.


FPU professor Arman Sargolji said, "It is important for astronauts to be mentally healthy during missionaries and at present they have no active, real time solution to activate them."

 
Eventually the product will incorporate wireless sensor into astronaut cloths so that the physician may monitor the person's pulse rate, blood pressure and joint angle on Earth.A similar technique already exists, but it is cumbersome, often inconvenient, and the data collection is inactive. This means that a doctor should review the data and the user can do the right thing only after his recommendation.S3 will be one step ahead by creating an active technology, and will be more ergonomic, reducing distraction will increase the effectiveness of the mission.
