MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411098812 A) filed by Amity University on December 13, 2024, for Artificial Intelligence-Powered Bowel Health Management System For Space Astronauts And Method Thereof.
Inventors include Joyeta Ghosh; and Suchandra Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an Artificial Intelligence-Powered Bowel Health Management Tool for Space Astronauts, designed to monitor, predict, and manage gastrointestinal health in microgravity. Astronauts in space face altered gut motility, microbiome changes, and lifestyle-related stressors, increasing the risk of functional constipation and related complications that may compromise mission success. The invention employs machine learning and neural network models to analyze bowel habits, dietary intake, physical activity, and stress indicators, providing personalized diagnostic assessments and predicting potential bowel health issues. Tailored interventions, including dietary adjustments, exercise routines, hydration strategies, and probiotics, are recommended to maintain optimal gut health. The system continuously collects and analyzes mission data, identifies patterns, and generates real-time alerts for astronauts and onboard medical personnel. It adapts to mission phases, ensuring proactive, autonomous health management. This tool enhances astronaut well-being, supports long-duration space missions, and contributes valuable insights for space medicine research.
