The European space agency ESA wants travellers a heads-up display that they would allow medical diagnosis on co-astronauts to perform. The augmented reality visors could also help in operations.
The Camdass system must be astronauts in the future will not only help the medical condition of other astronauts to analyze it, but if necessary, also assist in surgical procedures. To American use also uses the European Space Agency like long acronyms: Camdass Computer Assisted Medical Diagnosis and Surgery System. The prototype is a pair of glasses with a heads-up display using augmented reality for the relevant medical care for the astronaut.
To be an astronaut, to help diagnose, Camdass equipped with an ultrasound transducer, which helps in identifying of possible injury. An additional advantage is that ultrasonic equipment already on the ISS, where the system would be used. Via augmented reality instructions on the display screen of the head mounted display can an astronaut be instructed where he is, the transducer must keep. Reference images would be normal and aberrant situations can illustrate.
Camdass, the user would not only be able to assist in the diagnosis, but also in the treatment of medical emergencies. Especially when a spacecraft at a large distance from the earth is, can the help of experts on earth difficult by the delay in communication. A system that astronauts will help an autonomous to act would be a solution, although the system for teleworking geschiktgemaakt could be. Camdass has been tested by nurses and students of the Brussels-Sait-Pierre hospital, but is developed further to make it more manageable.
