đDEEP SPACE HEALTHCARE CHALLENGE - Help improve access to healthcare for remote communities!
The Canadian Space Agency is challenging innovators across Canada.
đŻ Your mission : design innovative solutions to support the healthcare needs of remote communities, both in space â and on Earth đ
"Remote communities and deep space astronauts face many of the same challenges when it comes to healthcare:
-Limited access to specialists or specialized tools
-Delayed or unreliable communications
-Few options for the re-stocking of supplies
-Limits on physical space, resources, and personnel time"
"Though we may have several years to solve this problem for astronauts, medically-isolated populations including Canadians living in remote communities need these solutions now."
If you have an idea on how to help them, apply before February 1st!
