Heart failure in space: scientists calculate potential health threats facing future space tourists in microgravity - EurekAlert
Dr Lex van Loon is an assistant professor at the Australian National University and the University of Twente in the Netherlands. His research focusses on patient-specific dynamic models of human physiology. In his work, he combines mathematical modelling and the use of artificial intelligence to create medical digital twins. In a recent Frontiers in Physiology article, van Loon and his co-authors used a mathematical model of the heart and lung system to simulate how microgravity could affect people, who are not trained astronauts and might have underlying health issues such as heart conditions, as they go to space.
