Preparing Canada for Medical Emergencies in Deep Space

The Canadian Space Agency's Deep Space Healthcare Challenge has selected five finalists who presented their medical technology solutions for astronauts in deep space. The challenge aims to create portable technology that allows rapid diagnoses and treatment in case of health issues, considering the constraints of space travel. The winner will receive a half-million-dollar prize and the opportunity to apply for future opportunities with the Canadian Space Agency. The competition is part of the agency's goal to empower astronauts to take care of their own health with up-to-date tools.
