Healthcare touches all aspects of our life, which is what makes it one of the more interesting industries when it comes to problem solving. The Health Beyond Initiative takes this one step further - how can we leverage innovative technologies to deliver remote healthcare (and we mean really remote!)?

Deep space travel requires an innovative astronaut healthcare delivery model - based on unprecedented levels of medical autonomy. On January 25th, members of CSA and NASA will share how they are planning for the next steps in human space exploration that will lead us to the Moon and Mars.

We are pleased to host an experienced and knowledgeable panel:

- Annie Martin: Portfolio Manager, Health Beyond Initiative | Canadian Space Agency
- Charlotte Pearce: Biomedical Engineer & Technology Lead, Health Beyond Initiative | Canadian Space Agency
