MEDES is involved in space and clinical research activities through its clinical research centre, the Space Clinic, with the strategic goals of building space research on solid research foundations, developing links between space and health, opening space research to a large community of health professionals and thus helping to develop benefits for space research.,<\/p>\n
The assignments with which MEDES is tasked by space agencies include investigating the constraints of the space environment to better understand how the organism adapts to the space environment, preparing future space flights and developing preventive countermeasures. As it would be too difficult to carry out these studies in flight, experiments to simulate the effects of weightlessness are carried out on the ground. They are carried out in a unique clinical-research infrastructure, the Space Clinic.<\/p>\n
MEDES also evaluates countermeasures (e.g. artificial gravity), draws up medical specifications and performs clinical evaluations of new devices.<\/p>\n
Finally, MEDES supports medical research and is involved in this capacity in other types of clinical studies.<\/p>\n

Weightlessness simulation studies<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Space flights to date have shown that humans can adapt to life in space. However, the space environment, and particularly microgravity, leads to changes that are likely to affect the performance and health of astronauts.<\/p>\n
Simulation studies of the effects of microgravity are thus carried out on the ground to better understand the body’s adaptation mechanisms, prepare for spaceflight and develop preventive measures (called countermeasures)<\/strong>. Ground simulation is necessary due to the difficulty of carrying out certain scientific research during flights (due to the low number of astronauts, limited and expensive crew time and experimental equipment that is difficult or impossible to take on board).<\/p>\n MEDES carries out these simulation studies on behalf of space agencies.<\/p>\n 2 models are used: <\/strong><\/p>\n During these studies, different preventive methods can be tested: physical exercise, adapted nutrition, medication, artificial gravity.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

Evaluation of medical devices<\/h2>\n
\n
In 2021 for example, working on behalf of space agencies, MEDES implemented clinical studies to optimise and assess artificial gravity protocols (with personalised training on a short-arm centrifuge: Goswami study)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
MEDES assists manufacturers in defining and\/or evaluating medical specifications for new devices for the space sector or for health applications in general.
The clinical team is involved in innovative projects such as CHIMS (software designed to provide recommendations to crews for countermeasures, nutritional advice or emergency procedures) or VCARE (biofeedback device to optimise exercise-type countermeasures for astronauts).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
