Study to assess the feasibility of using a point-of- care, portable D-dimer testing device on the International Space Station (ISS)

Tender details

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) seeks a study to assess the feasibility of integrating a portable D-dimer testing device on the International Space Station (ISS). The study will evaluate the technical feasibility of using a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) device, its compatibility with ISS systems, and develop a preliminary concept for its use. This initiative aims to monitor D-dimer levels in astronauts to address potential thrombotic risks during space missions.
