NASA's Lifetime Surveillance for Astronaut Health (LSAH) program collects health/medical data on active and retired U.S. and Canadian crew; to our knowledge, there are no parallel efforts collecting life-long data on many international retired astronauts and cosmonauts. The long-term goal of this investigative team is to establish a secure data repository for biomedical data from the international retired crew.
The article published in Acta Astronautica shares findings regarding:
1) Feasibility of using current electronic personal health record technologies
2) Input from retired crew and stakeholders on issues related to collecting/archiving biomedical data
3) International medical privacy law pertinent to the collection of individual citizen's biomedical data
