Currently, paper-based and/or electronic together with telecommunications links to Earth-based physicians are used to assist astronaut crews perform diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions during space travel. However, these have limitations, especially during long duration missions in which telecommunications to earth-based physicians can be delayed. We describe an experimental technology called GuideView in which clinical guidelines are presented in a structured, interactive, multi-modal format and, in each step, clinical instructions are provided simultaneously in voice, text, pictures video or animations. An example application of the system to diagnosis and treatment of space Decompression Sickness is presented. Astronauts performing space walks from the International Space Station are at risk for decompression sickness because the atmospheric pressure of the Extra-vehicular Activity space- suit is significantly less that that of the interior of the Station.
目前，基于纸质和/或电子方式，再加上与地球上医生的电信链接，被用于协助宇航员团队在太空旅行期间对医疗状况进行诊断和治疗。然而，这些方式存在局限性，尤其是在长时间任务中，与地球上医生的通信可能会延迟。我们描述了一种名为GuideView的实验技术，其中临床指南以结构化、交互式、多模态的形式呈现，并且在每一步中，临床指导同时通过语音、文本、图片、视频或动画提供。文中展示了该系统在太空减压病诊断和治疗中的一个应用实例。从国际空间站进行太空行走的宇航员有患减压病的风险，因为舱外活动航天服内的气压明显低于空间站内部的气压。
