Bio-Monitor – Questions and answers with David Saint-Jacques live from space

2019-08-14 - During a videoconference with Ottawa students hosted by the Governor General of Canada, Julie Payette, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques answers the following question, live from the International Space Station: "What are some of the coolest experiments you're working on in space?"

Text: What are some of the coolest projects you’re working on in space? - Simon 

David Saint-Jacques: There is a cool project sponsored by the Canadian Space Agency, called Bio-Monitoring, where it would be like a smart shirt that can take all your vital signs, so you can be constantly monitoring your health without having tubes or cables connected to you. And I think that has great future for health monitoring in remote communities, or perhaps people on expeditions, or our deployed troops, or even people who have a hard time leaving their homes in a big city. This is the future of health care I think we're developing up here.
