Medical support beyond ground control

AstroTriage is an AI-driven medical triage system built to assist astronauts during long-duration space missions where communication with Earth is delayed. It autonomously identifies, prioritizes, and guides treatment for medical emergencies without ground control support.

Using a dual-engine AI architecture, AstroTriage combines a rule-based engine for immediate, safety-critical decisions with a machine learning engine for adaptive, data-driven analysis. This ensures accurate, explainable, and reliable medical triage—even offline or in low-resource environments.

The system delivers 100% rule-based coverage, 88–91% ML accuracy, and sub-250 ms decision times with less than 0.4% error rate. It supports over 100 medical emergencies, runs fully offline, and maintains accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA).

By enabling faster, autonomous, and transparent healthcare, AstroTriage enhances astronaut safety and independence—advancing the future of medical support in deep-space exploration.
