“…A systematic review of the NASA database “Spin-off,” “Grant announcement,” and “NASA Technical Reports System (NTRS)” was performed to ascertain examples of cross-over technologies between Space and Earth with keywords of “spacecraft,” “biomedical,” “Medical,” “terrestrial,” and “diagnostic.” The inclusion criteria were devices currently used in the medical field. Although there have been pharmaceutical experiments during spaceflight, such as AMG 785/CDP7851 in space transport system flight - 135, all pharmacological and drug delivery studies were excluded due to design processes and regulation differences [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] .…”

The new era of space exploration is increasing the astronaut's number and diversity in low orbit and beyond. The influx of such a diverse crew population will also increase the need for medical technologies to ensure safe and productive missions. Such a need represents a unique opportunity to innovate and develop diagnostics and treatment tools to meet future needs. Historically, terrestrial regulatory oversight of biomedical design processes was considered separate from spaceflight regulatory processes because it did not address spaceflight constraints. These constraints challenge the creative development of unique solutions for use in space. Translation between healthcare innovation in spaceflight to healthcare on Earth and vice versa requires understanding the commonalities, unique needs and constraints. This manuscript provides a framework for comparing Earthspace design processes and a perspective on the best practices to improve healthcare equity and health outcomes.
