Research begins on how human bodies can survive in space, which furthers the development of telehealth.
Date: 1964
The Integrated Medical and Behavioral Laboratories and Measurement Systems (IMBLMS) program begins to conduct research on how human bodies can survive in space. One result of this program is the further development of technology that will later enable telehealth.
The space program builds computer models for acquiring, displaying, analyzing, and recording a wide variety of medical, biochemical, microbiological, and behavioral measurements remotely.
