This Workshop was designed to assist in the ongoing development and application of telemedicine and medical informatics to support extended space flight. Participants included specialists in telemedicine and medical/health informatics (terrestrial and space) medicine from NASA, federal agencies, academic centers, and research and development institutions located in the United States and several other countries. The participants in the working groups developed vision statements, requirements, approaches, and recommendations pertaining to developing and implementing a strategy pertaining to telemedicine and medical informatics. Although some of the conclusions and recommendations reflect ongoing work at NASA, others provided new insight and direction that may require a reprioritization of current NASA efforts in telemedicine and medical informatics. This, however, was the goal of the Workshop. NASA is seeking other perspectives and views from leading practitioners in the fields of telemedicine and medical informatics to invigorate an essential and high-priority component of the International Space Station and future extended exploration missions. Subsequent workshops will further define and refine the general findings and recommendations achieved here. NASA's ultimate aim is to build a sound telemedicine and medical informatics operational system to provide the best medical care available for astronauts going to Mars and beyond.
本次研讨会旨在助力远程医疗和医学信息学的持续发展与应用，以支持长期太空飞行。参与者包括来自美国及其他几个国家的美国国家航空航天局（NASA）、联邦机构、学术中心以及研发机构的远程医疗和医学/健康信息学（地面和太空）医学专家。各工作小组的参与者制定了与制定和实施远程医疗及医学信息学战略相关的愿景声明、要求、方法和建议。尽管部分结论和建议反映了NASA正在进行的工作，但其他一些结论和建议提供了新的见解和方向，可能需要重新调整NASA目前在远程医疗和医学信息学方面的工作重点。然而，这正是本次研讨会的目标。NASA正在寻求远程医疗和医学信息学领域领先从业者的其他观点和意见，以振兴国际空间站及未来长期探索任务中这一至关重要且高度优先的组成部分。后续研讨会将进一步明确和完善在此取得的总体研究结果和建议。NASA的最终目标是构建一个完善的远程医疗和医学信息学操作系统，为前往火星及更远地方的宇航员提供可得的最佳医疗服务。
