Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 143, Space Health Technologies. I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, astronauts, all to let you know

what's going on in the world of human spaceflight.

I hope you tuned into our recent series on NASA's Human Research Program.

We dove into the work being done at NASA to help understand what happens to the human

body in areas such as human performance, human health, radiation, medicine, and a whole lot more.

We gave many examples through this series on different ways

that the Human Research Program does research in these areas

to get the best science possible,

the latest science possible, using the latest technologies.

Helping the Human Research Program solve challenges for human space exploration and preparing

for deep space travel is the Translational Research Institute for Space Health.

In this episode, we'll just call it Trish.

Trish is helping NASA conduct research on some of the latest and greatest technologies and procedures,

both to find out if it can be integrated in NASA's future missions

and also to help these technologies develop for Earth benefits.

Here to tell us about this organization

and some of these disruptive technologies and ideas are Doree

Donaville, PhD, and Dr. Kristen Fob.

Dorit is the director of Trish, and Kristen is a senior innovation scientist and

both have extensive and impressive backgrounds in science and technology.
