Science & sources

Transparent context. Clear limitations. No hidden medical claims.

CSA · Bio-Monitor

Bio-Monitor combines a smart shirt, headband and tablet to record pulse/ECG, blood pressure, breathing, skin temperature, oxygen saturation and activity on the ISS. This is an existing CSA system, not evidence that Nabd has implemented or validated those measurements.

NASA · Wearable biosensor evaluation

Astroskin testing in HERA assessed signal quality, crew usability and comfort before considering future spaceflight use. An analog technology demonstration does not validate Nabd hardware, thresholds or clinical performance.

CSA · Space Health study

The Space Health study uses Bio-Monitor data and the Artemis AI platform to investigate cardiovascular adaptation in spaceflight. Research use of AI is not evidence that this assistant can diagnose or predict an individual health outcome.

NASA · Sleep, circadian rhythm & workload risk

NASA identifies sleep loss, circadian desynchronization and work overload as risks for performance decrements and adverse health outcomes. This risk framework does not validate Nabd sleep estimates, scores or individual thresholds.

NASA · Behavioral health evidence report (2025)

NASA reviews cognitive, behavioral and psychiatric risks for in-mission health, performance and long-term outcomes. A mood score or chat response is not a psychiatric assessment. Persistent distress requires human support.

NASA · Five spaceflight hazards

Radiation, isolation/confinement, distance from Earth, gravity fields and closed environments frame human spaceflight risks. Hazard descriptions provide context, not clinical validation of Nabd rules or the conceptual circuit.

NASA · Five Hazards of Human Spaceflight

The environmental framework behind NABD: radiation, isolation, distance, gravity, and closed habitats.

NASA · Risks of Human Spaceflight

Human Research Program evidence and risks, from physiological adaptation to behavioral health.

NASA · Ongoing HRP Research in Space

Research investigating how the human body adapts and how countermeasures can protect crew.

CSA · Monitoring Radiation for Astronaut Health

Personal radiation monitoring and astronaut exposure research.

CSA · Why Conduct Science Experiments in Space?

How microgravity research improves understanding of health on Earth and in space.

Limitations & ethics

NABD is decision support, not a diagnostic medical device. Illustrative ranges and synthetic crew data. Follow onboard protocols and contact the flight surgeon for medical guidance.
No real astronaut records are used. All crew identities and readings are synthetic. Public demo data is shared and is not confidential. Camera video and local photo previews stay on the device. Simulated camera pulse is explicitly labelled; validated rPPG and medical image analysis are not enabled. Activity indices are not bone-density measurements. NASA hazard sources provide context, not validation of these illustrative thresholds. Source links have not been independently verified for availability.
