Background and justification

To solve the discrepancy between sleeping, eating and exercising, we take into consideration several aspects, such as that the space station travels the earth once every 90 minutes, or 16 dawns, therefore after an average of 8 hours of work it will be necessary a break. The autonomous system regulates pressure, pulse and temperature. In addition, exercise indirectly regulates energy caloric needs, and that the type of food can help or limit sleep, that the presence of hypovitaminosis such as D, gives fatigue can decrease the strength to exercise and also gives insomnia . In the other hand the genetic pattern of Muscle fiber can indicate the most appropriate type of exercise individually. With this data we can planning our goals.

Materials and method

Our strategies were

A. Design a DNA sequencing panel to find out if they had genes for:

1. High-risk diseases (heart attack, arrhythmia, long or short QT syndrome coagulopathy, psychiatric diseases, errors of metabolism, hypokalemic family periodical paralysis,), coagulopathy, etc.

2. Pharmacogenomics (response to drugs that require to be administered for example to sleep, anticoagulants, etc.

3. Genes on the type of muscle fiber that the astronaut has to choose the most appropriate exercise individually.

4. Genes related to energy-nutritional metabolism, predisposition to obesity, hypercholesterolemia, errors of metabolism, etc.

5. Genes on sleep pattern to determine the individual's own needs in order to establish the best times to sleep and sleep pathology (, genes regulating the circadian pattern, short sleepers or long sleepers, sleep apnea, sleep paralysis, sonambulism etc).

The second strategy was to perform cytogenetic analysis before takeoff and on return to determine the effects of cosmic radiation, such as deletions, duplications or others that predispose to aging or cancer and therefore to chronic fatigue.

The third was to do a biochemical panel of metabolism errors due to risks.

The reason is to be able to carry out personalized diagnosis and medicine based on the particular needs of astronauts genome.

As a fourth measure to be able to plan schedules, we consider using MIT technology with microscopic microfibers painless, could extract capillary blood or, a robotic arm with monitoring devices, could also take the blood sample and send the results to the APP.

We are interested in measuring hormones such as melatonin because its low levels give insomnia and the cortisol that helps to wake up in the morning. Also for this planning we need to evaluate levels of vitamins, trace elements, toxins, presence of viruses or bacteria. to faster capture these diseases by letting us know the app to prevent occupational hazards.

The polysomnography, in addition to arrhythmia, we could detect seizures that can cause loss of consciousness and analyze the sleep pattern to correct problems.

Finally, it seemed important to us that the device that evaluates for hypoxia, hypercapnia and vital signs could be thoracic and part in the hands, but comfortable, usable at rest or exercise to discover risks. Part of that equipment would be portable impedance testing for dehydration and electrolytes.

In conclusion, all this data is important, because it allows us to have a general idea of ​​the astronaut's real health condition, prevent risks and quickly correct them for those who receive the signal on the ground and it is also applicable to them due to long hours of work.

It helps to know the genetic and epigenetic factors of the astronaut's sleep pattern so that by software it is calculated how many hours of sleep it requires, feeding hours and type of exercise and potentially risky diseases such as heart attacks, strokes or arrhythmias.
