  IGF::OT::IGF OTHER FUNCTION - GIVEN THE EXTENDED DURATION OF FUTURE MISSIONS AND THE ISOLATED, EXTREME, AND CONFINED ENVIRONMENTS, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT STRESS-RELATED BEHAVIORAL CONDITIONS AND MENTAL DISORDERS (DSM-IV-TR) WILL DEVELOP. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DELIVER AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM THAT WILL TRACK PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS (HEART RATE AND HEART RATE VARIABILITY) AND BEHAVIORAL SIGNALS (SLEEP WAKE PATTERNS) TO DETECT CHRONIC STRESS, HYPERAROUSAL, AND INSOMNIA DURING SPACE MISSIONS. THIS PROJECT WILL DELIVER BOTH THE SENSOR HARDWARE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR THE REAL-TIME DATA COLLECTION AND INTEGRATION WITH OTHER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS (E.G., INDIVIDUALIZED FATIGUE METER AND INDIVIDUALIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH METER). THE RESULT OF PHASE II WILL BE A SYSTEM THAT CAN BE DEPLOYED IN SPACE ANALOG ENVIRONMENTS FOR VALIDATION TESTING AND ULTIMATELY DEPLOYED ON ISS TO ASSIST ASTRONAUTS AND MISSION SUPPORT PERSONNEL IN THE DETECTION OF ASTRONAUT CHRONIC STRESS, HYPERAROUSAL, AND INSOMNIA. THE CRITICAL NEED FOR AN INDIVIDUALIZED STRESS DETECTION SYSTEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY OUTLINED IN THE BHP IRP GAP BMED2. THE TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL AT THE END OF PHASE II WILL BE TRL 5.

  GIVEN THE EXTENDED DURATION OF FUTURE MISSIONS AND THE ISOLATED, EXTREME AND CONFINED ENVIRONMENTS, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT BEHAVIORAL CONDITIONS AND MENTAL DISORDERS (DSM-IV-TR) WILL DEVELOP. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DELIVER AN INDIVIDUALIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MONITORING TOOL THAT UNOBTRUSIVELY INTEGRATES ALL AVAILABLE BEHAVIORAL MEASURES COLLECTED DURING A MISSION TO PROVIDE A DASHBOARD OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INDICATORS. THESE INDICATORS WILL BE PLACED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF QUANTITATIVELY-TRACKED MISSION STRESSORS TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL FEEDBACK ALLOWING BEHAVIORAL ISSUES TO BE DETECTED AND MITIGATED AT AN EARLY STAGE. THE RESULT OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE A SYSTEM PROTOTYPE THAT CAN BE DEPLOYED IN SPACE ANALOG ENVIRONMENTS (E.G., MARS 520 STUDY, ANTARCTICA) FOR VALIDATION TESTING AND ULTIMATELY DEPLOYED IN LONG-DURATION SPACE EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THE CRITICAL NEED FOR AN INDIVIDUALIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MONITORING TOOL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY OUTLINED IN THE BHP INTEGRATED RESEARCH PLAN (JULY 2009) GAP BMED3. PHASE II WILL ACHIEVE: (1) AN INDIVIDUALIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MONITOR SOFTWARE INTERFACE; (2) A DATA INTEGRATION SYSTEM; (3) A TREND AND CHANGE DETECTION ALGORITHM; AND (4) A COUNTERMEASURE SELECTION AID. THE TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL AT THE END OF PHASE II WILL BE TRL 6.

  TO ENSURE MISSION SUCCESS, ASTRONAUTS MUST MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE EVEN WHEN WORK-REST SCHEDULES RESULT IN CHRONIC SLEEP RESTRICTION AND CIRCADIAN MISALIGNMENT, BOTH OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO FATIGUE AND PERFORMANCE DEFICITS UNLESS EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES ARE USED. WE ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD AN INDIVIDUALIZED FATIGUE METER THAT INCORPORATES LIGHT INPUTS, SLEEP HISTORY, WORK SCHEDULE INFORMATION, AND BRIEF PERFORMANCE TESTS (E.G. PVT SELFTEST) TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE INDIVIDUALIZED FEEDBACK ABOUT ALERTNESS. FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY DEVELOPING MANY OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS (FUNDED BY NASA, DOD, AND NIH) THAT CAN BE LEVERAGED IN THIS PROJECT. THE RESULT OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE A SYSTEM PROTOTYPE THAT CAN BE EVALUATED USING DATA ALREADY BEING COLLECTED IN SPACE FLIGHT ANALOG EXPEDITIONS (E.G., NEEMO, HMP) AND ON ISS. THE CRITICAL NEED FOR AN INDIVIDUALIZED FATIGUE METER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY OUTLINED IN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE INTEGRATED RESEARCH PLAN GAP 1.1.1. DURING PHASE 2 WE WILL BUILD A PROTOTYPE INDIVIDUALIZED FATIGUE METER BY DEVELOPING: (1) AN INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL CONSOLE; (2) A MODEL-INDEPENDENT COMPUTATIONAL ARCHITECTURE; (3) A HYBRID BIOMATHEMATICAL FATIGUE MODEL; AND (4) A DATA FUSION ALGORITHM THAT STATISTICALLY COMBINES MULTIPLE INPUTS (PHASE 2 TRL OF 5-6).
