Remote monitoring.

In this case, remote monitoring of biosignals. Human biosignals, to be exact. According to this article on Wired News, NASA has developed a new device to monitor astronaut’s biosignals remotely. Of course, there’s already been talk of the ways this can be used right here on Earth. This would be a great tool for heart patients, for instance. And, I can see how it might be used for things like deep-sea diving and mountain climbing. Anyway, it’s cool to see how space technology spinoffs benefit us in the public sector.
