The tech giant is going to assist the space agency and its troops in space with an AI-powered medical assistant that will be trained to take care of the astronauts who spend weeks or months in their spaceflights for their missions. Having a doctor on board can be a long and expensive exercise so the agency is relying on tech assistance to make this work in a better way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Google\u2019s AI Doctor For Space Missions<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">NASA is able to help its crew in space when the missions are short but the longer duration launches need better assistance, especially with varying health concerns. The AI has been designed to handle these issues and even monitor their conditions autonomously. The Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA) is being developed to help the crew when they are unable to contact the doctor or anyone on Earth during their mission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The AI model for medical help offers different ways to chat. You can do it via text, images, and even voice. Google is powering the AI doctor through its high-tech Vertex AI cloud network, which promises efficient performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The joint AI effort will allow NASA to own the source code of the app and help Google refine and improve the AI doctor with health and valuable data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Does It Work?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Early tests of CMO-DA have shown encouraging signs for the space agency. The AI doctor was able to accurately diagnose the issues related to ankle injury, ear pain and more. The report says 88 percent accuracy for ankle-related issues, 74 percent for flank pain and 80 percent for ear pains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">NASA wants the virtual assistant to go beyond the usual health issues and also link the AI model to detect and treat effects of being in space for a long time. Google is clearly using AI beyond the regular tasks and putting it for genuine use. It is helping researchers decipher the language of whale using AI and helping them study the mammals in deep ocean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-3240570612 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
