To support NASA's Mars 2020 mission, bioassays were performed to ensure the biological cleanliness of the spacecraft, instruments, and hardware assembly areas. Bioassays began in May 2014, as the first components were assembled, and continued until their launch in July 2020. Over this 6-year period, 1811 bioassay sampling sessions were conducted.

The Complexity of Transferring Remote Monitoring and Virtual Care Technology Between Countries: Lessons From an International Workshop.

International deployment of remote monitoring and virtual care (RMVC) technologies would efficiently harness their positive impact on outcomes. Since Canada and the United Kingdom have similar populations, health care systems, and digital health landscapes, transferring digital health innovations between them should be relatively straightforward. Yet examples of successful attempts are scarce.

Microbial applications for sustainable space exploration beyond low Earth orbit.

With the construction of the International Space Station, humans have been continuously living and working in space for 22 years. Microbial studies in space and other extreme environments on Earth have shown the ability for bacteria and fungi to adapt and change compared to "normal" conditions. Some of these changes, like biofilm formation, can impact astronaut health and spacecraft integrity in a negative way, while others, such as a propensity for plastic degradation, can promote self-sufficiency and sustainability in space.

A "Do No Harm" Novel Safety Checklist and Research Approach to Determine Whether to Launch an Artificial Intelligence-Based Medical Technology: Introducing the Biological-Psychological, Economic, and Social (BPES) Framework.

Given the impact artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical technologies (hardware devices, software programs, and mobile apps) can have on society, debates regarding the principles behind their development and deployment are emerging. Using the biopsychosocial model applied in psychiatry and other fields of medicine as our foundation, we propose a novel 3-step framework to guide industry developers of AI-based medical tools as well as health care regulatory agencies on how to decide if a product should be launched-a "Go or No-Go" approach. More specifically, our novel framework places stakeholders' (patients, health care professionals, industry, and government institutions) safety at its core by asking developers to demonstrate the biological-psychological (impact on physical and mental health), economic, and social value of their AI tool before it is launched.

Health equity related challenges and experiences during the rapid implementation of virtual care during COVID-19: a multiple case study.

Background: Virtual care quickly became of crucial importance to health systems around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the potential of virtual care to enhance access for some communities, the scale and pace at which services were virtualized did not leave many organizations with sufficient time and resources to ensure optimal and equitable delivery of care for everyone. The objective of this paper is to outline the experiences of health care organizations rapidly implementing virtual care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and examine whether and how health equity was considered.

Exploring Caregivers' Perspectives and Perceived Acceptability of a Mobile-Based Telemonitoring Program to Support Pregnant Women at High-Risk for Preeclampsia in Karachi, Pakistan: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

Very little is known about the perspectives of the caregivers on the use of telemonitoring (TM) interventions in low-middle-income countries. Understanding caregivers' perspectives on TM interventions is crucial, given that caregiving activities are correlated with the social, emotional, and clinical outcomes among pregnant women. This study aims to explore caregivers' perspectives and perceived acceptability of a mobile phone-based TM program to support pregnant women at high-risk for preeclampsia.

Automated digital counselling with social network support as a novel intervention for patients with heart failure: protocol for randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) symptoms improve through self-care, for which adherence remains low among patients despite the provision of education for these behaviours by clinical teams. Open Access Digital Community Promoting Self-Care, Peer Support and Health Literacy (ODYSSEE-vCHAT) combines automated digital counselling with social network support to improve mortality and morbidity, engagement with self-care materials, and health-related quality of life.

Methods And Analysis: Use of ODYSSEE-vCHAT via Internet-connected personal computer by 162 HF patients will be compared with a control condition over 22 months.

Feasibility of implementing a mobile phone-based telemonitoring programme to support pregnant women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia in Karachi, Pakistan: protocol for a mixed-methods study.

Introduction: High maternal mortality from pre-eclampsia/eclampsia results from lack of early identification and management of pregnant women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia. A potential tool to support pregnant women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia is telemonitoring. There is limited evidence on the use and effectiveness of telemonitoring for pregnant women in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) which limits the understanding of the process and mechanisms through which the intervention works in LMICs.

A digital self-care intervention for Ugandan patients with heart failure and their clinicians: User-centred design and usability study.

Interventions targeted at improving HF self-care have been shown to improve patient quality of life and reduce hospitalizations in high-income countries.

Digital Health Interventions for Depression and Anxiety Among People With Chronic Conditions: Scoping Review.

Background: Chronic conditions are characterized by their long duration (≥1 year), need for ongoing medical attention, and limitations in activities of daily living. These can often co-occur with depression and anxiety as common and detrimental comorbidities among the growing population living with chronic conditions. Digital health interventions (DHIs) hold promise in overcoming barriers to accessing mental health support for these individuals; however, the design and implementation of DHIs for depression and anxiety in people with chronic conditions are yet to be explored.

Heat inactivation of stable proteinaceous particles for future sample return mission architecture.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are studying how to improve the safety of future planetary science sample return missions that would bring back materials to Earth. Backward planetary protection requirements have been identified as a critical technology development focus in order to reduce the possibility of harm to Earth's biosphere from such returned materials. In order to meet these challenges, NASA has identified the need for an appropriate suite of biological indicators (BIs) that would be used to develop, test, and ultimately validate sample return mission sterilization systems.
