The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration is reportedly experimenting with Google to prove the concept of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical assistant that astronauts can use to maintain their fitness while on missions in space.
As reported by TechCrunch, Friday (8/8), the experiment called the Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA) will help astronauts diagnose and treat symptoms when no doctor is available or when communication to Earth is cut off.
The tool is a multimodal tool that includes speech, text, images, which runs in Google Cloud's Vertex AI environment.
