Zelia Worman, support scientist at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health, says multiple industries are coming together to evaluate the risks of space travel.

Rick Beberman, CEO of Sira Medical, demonstrates his company's VR/AR surgery planning tool, which he says can save up to 20% of operating room time and provide additional revenue opportunities.

James Hury, deputy director and chief innovation officer at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health, says space health is helping bring cutting-edge technologies to Mars and back down to Earth.

Maintaining the health of humans leaving Earth pushes our current capabilities, says Dr. Dan Lowenstein, executive vice chancellor and provost at UCSF. 

Level Ex founder and CEO Sam Glassenberg talks about how gaming can be used to prepare for space health emergencies and demonstrates the VR technology involved. 

Susanna Rosi, professor of physical therapy at UCSF, says data from her research on animals can help assess cognitive health risks of deep space travel.

New innovations originally designed for space are finding their way into our homes, says Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) Director Dorit Donoviel.

Emmanuel Urquieta, scientist with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), says the technology has the ability to expand the life of medications and food.

One of the benefits of the Space Health Innovation Conference was bringing NASA stakeholders to Silicon Valley to solve space challenges around health, says Dr. Aenor Sawyer, chief health innovation officer at Translational Research Institute for Space Health.

Kristin Fabre, senior innovation scientist at the Translational Research Institute for Space Health at Baylor College of Medicine, details how TRISH is holistically looking at astronaut health during space exploration.
