CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 20, 2018 — DNA Medicine Institute, Inc., and its affiliate rHEALTH LLC, a digital health solutions company, today announced that the rHEALTH technology is a subject of NASA’s Civilian Commercial Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP). Recipients of CCRPP awards must not only demonstrate maturation of technology that aligns with NASA interests, but also strong potential use in markets outside of NASA. This competitive award comes after successful completion of Phase I and Phase II of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs.
“We are honored and thrilled to continue our collaboration with NASA to deliver a flight-ready prototype of our unique diagnostic and monitoring technology to the International Space Station,” stated Dr. Eugene Chan, President and CEO.
The main project goal is enabling point-of-patient care in space medicine through delivering portable wireless health solutions—including the rHEALTH small volume blood analyzer and the SKYE Sensor vitals monitor—to astronauts working in the International Space Station.
