Keynote Speaker
Scott Dulchavsky, M.D., Ph.D.
Surgeon in Chief, Henry Ford Health, CEO of Henry Ford Innovations,
Principal investigator for NASA
Dr. Dulchavsky is currently a professor of surgery, molecular biology and genetics at Wayne State University School of Medicine and Michigan State University. He serves as the Roy D. McClure Chairman of Surgery and the Surgeon in Chief at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan. He is the founder and CEO of the Innovation Institute at Henry Ford. He founded several successful companies in the medical device and software industry and manages multiple innovation grants.
Dr Dulchavsky is a principal investigator for NASA: his research investigates the long-term effects of microgravity on human physiology on astronauts/cosmonauts on the International Space Station and for exploration class spaceflight. This work has been modified for use on the Earth where his team supports on-site care of professional sports teams, the United States Olympic Committee and other worldwide organizations to support maternal care in over 60 countries.
He maintains an active role in local and National medical associations including the American College of Surgeons where he is the Vice Chair for Technology and Research. He has served on the White House Medical Team to provide regional care for the President of the United States.
Title of Presentation: EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL MEDICAL CARE
There has been a continuous human presence in space for over 2 decades. The provision of medical care in remote or extreme environments including space is challenging secondary to limited availability of trained personnel, resource constraints, cost, and communication delays. The International Space Station, and soon a lunar outpost require thoughtful approaches to allow planned or urgent medical care to be provided using novel approaches. A number of medical innovations have been developed to support the space program: fortunately these unique test environments and constraints require solutions that also have terrestrial applicability in resource constrained areas in Canada, the US, and our world.
Novel advances in telemedicine, remote sensing, telementoring, just in time training, and autonomous medical care techniques allow our crewmembers to conduct low Earth orbit, and soon exploration class spaceflight with appropriate medical care capabilities. Many of the lessons learned in space medicine have and can be transitioned to improve care back on our planet.
