Here's what we're looking for:

✅ Technologies for measuring attention and focus
✅ Engagement-tracking platforms and tools
✅ Learning-outcome and knowledge-retention measurement
✅ Behavioral, biometric, or interaction-data analytics
✅ Solutions applicable in real-world learning environments
✅ Validated or validation-ready approaches with actionable insights

NASA is seeking autonomous therapeutic modules and behavioral health monitoring systems for long-duration space exploration.

As missions extend farther from Earth, crews need tools that can support mental health and cognitive performance with limited real-time access to ground-based care.

Solutions should be practical for autonomous use in constrained, remote spaceflight environments.

Here's what we're looking for:

✅ Autonomous mental health and therapeutic support modules
✅ Behavioral health and cognitive performance monitoring systems
✅ Tools for early detection of stress, fatigue, mood changes, or cognitive decline
✅ Digital interventions designed for limited-connectivity, self-guided use
✅ Compact, low-burden solutions suited to spaceflight operations
✅ Technologies beyond basic wellness tracking or consumer-only applications
