This project is to develop an autonomous health monitoring device for NASA astronauts when they are on Mars. The project combines engineering, health, and gaming with wearable sensor technology, a VR game, and physical exercise equipment that interact with each other. The astronaut will have sensors on that will compile their health data as they are playing the game. The data will be tracked over time to find trends on the health of the astronaut for the duration of their time in space. This can provide valuable data for the effect of zero gravity on the human body. The astronaut will put their VR headset and wearable to connect themselves to our pushup board and start the game. The game will ask the astronauts to do push ups and move across the board to complete the game. This game is meant to be interactive and exciting to keep the astronauts engaged for long durations during missions.
