Fundamentals of Space Medicine
Topics discussed in this book include: adaptation of sensory-motor, cardio-vascular, bone, and muscle systems to the microgravity of spaceflight; psychological and sociological issues of living in a confined, isolated, and stressful environment; operational space medicine, such as crew selection, training and in-flight health monitoring, countermeasures and support; results of space biology experiments on individual cells, plants, and animal models; and the impact of long-duration missions such as the human mission to Mars. The author also provides a detailed description of how to fly a space experiment, based on his own experience with research projects conducted onboard Salyut-7, Mir, Spacelab, and the Space Shuttle. Now is the time to look at the future of human spaceflight and what comes next. The future human exploration of Mars captures the imagination of both the public and the scientific community. Many physiological, psychological, operational, and scientific issues need to be solved before the first crew can explore the enigmatic Red Planet. This book also identifies the showstoppers that can be foreseen and what we need to learn to fully understand the implications and risks of such a mission.

Extensive demonstrations and discussion on the various principles of machine learning and its application in healthcare is provided, along with solved examples and exercises.
Brilliantguard : AI-powered healthcare prototype for mobile & automotive integration
Brilliantguard is an AI-powered healthcare and safety prototype designed to support individuals with special needs, the elderly users, and patients with chronic conditions such as alzheimer’s disease. The system integrates augmented reality (AR), an AI based chatbot, and bitcoin-based payments into a unified platform combining mobile apps, smartwatches, and automotive sensors. It enables real-time health monitoring, predictive alerts with preliminary health suggestions, medication reminders, initial fault detection, and geofencing-based tracking for alzheimer’s patients. Emergency alerts are automatically triggered in response to abnormal health readings or car crashes.
Android smart health monitoring system
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in the application of machine learning to clinical informatics and healthcare system never forgetting that the data also states that half of the world's population uses mobile devices. Despite of the existence of tons of applications, algorithms, and systems, the achievement of prescribing proper food that is suitable for patient health case based on face health status, height, weight, daily calories etc.., wasn’t achieved yet because of the lack of knowledge in food therapy process. Our system provides the service of food suggestion based on the input that is inserted by the user in sign-up form which are (height, weight, age, etc….).
