New innovations originally designed for space are finding their way into our homes, says Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) Director Dorit Donoviel.

Emmanuel Urquieta, scientist with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), says the technology has the ability to expand the life of medications and food.

One of the benefits of the Space Health Innovation Conference was bringing NASA stakeholders to Silicon Valley to solve space challenges around health, says Dr. Aenor Sawyer, chief health innovation officer at Translational Research Institute for Space Health.

Kristin Fabre, senior innovation scientist at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health at Baylor College of Medicine, details how TRISH is holistically looking at astronaut health during space exploration.

There are challenges centered around human physiology and human factors in space and other extended environments, says Dr. Annette Sobel, professor at Texas Tech University and board member at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health.
