Goggle based Visual Field Device for SANS
Project Description
The Goggle based Visual Field (GBVF) device is intended to detect, monitor progression, and guide medical interventions of severe Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS) cases during expeditionary spaceflight. Approximately 70% of long-duration crewmembers present with one or more signs of SANS. Until effective countermeasures are discovered, SANS represents short- and long-term risks to astronauts and operations during any long-duration spaceflight, regardless of location: ISS, cislunar, Lunar Gateway, lunar surface, or Mars.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Year-2 IRAD funding (FY21) will permit the Goggle-Based VF (GBVF) device to: (1) complete clinical validations to ensure its performance is comparable to large-scale COTS visual field devices and (2) complete initial operational testing via space analog(s) to optimize the device's user interface, test protocol, software, usability, and ability to perform under semi-autonomous conditions.
