Answer: The two medical technologies that NASA has developed in partnership with the Texas medical center are development of the LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) in 1995 and the first telemedicine project
Explanation:
In 1995. Engineers at the Johnson Space Center ( NASA's center for human spaceflight ) in Houston worked with Dr. Michael DeBakey to develop LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) artificial heart pump based on the space shuttle's fuel pumps. It helps keep people healthy as they wait for heart transplants -- and sometimes makes a transplant unnecessary.
Michael Ellis DeBakey, was a Lebanese-American vascular surgeon and cardiac surgeon, scientist and medical educator.
The second is Telemedicine,
Telemedicine is the interactive transmission of medical images and data to provide better health care for people in remote or "medically underserved" locations.
Since the 1970s, NASA has been in the forefront of research and demonstration in the field of telemedicine. NASA has an obvious interest because of the potential of telemedicine in care of astronauts operating beyond Earth orbit in the future. NASA is actively engaged in developing new technologies applicable to both space and Earth telemedicine and in spurring broader acceptance of telemedicine by conducting demonstrations of the technique's potential in cooperation with local governments and the medical and industrial communities.
Ronald C. Merrell, director of the Medical Informatics Technology Applications Consortium, a NASA Research Partnership Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. He began his relationship with NASA in 1984 when he was a professor of surgery at the Texas Medical Center in Houston near NASA's Johnson Space Center. He led programs in clinical medicine, education and research, and his first telemedicine project funded by NASA provided care as part of a relief effort in Armenia.
