Deep space biomedical monitoring, organ chips and wearable sleep trackers

April 5, 2026NASA Science

NASA Science highlights Artemis II as a health data collection mission, including AVATAR organ chips kept alive in deep space and wrist monitors tracking sleep and movement to study isolation, confinement, and microgravity effects.

How do you keep organ chips “alive” in deep space?
