Summary

Description

<p>Documentation and Development: The AMP was initially being developed as part the Advanced Integrated Clinical System (AICS)-Guided Medical Procedure System for the Constellation Program. The Exploration Medical Capability (ExMC) team generated an Operational Concept (OpsCon) document and, subsequently, a set of functional and technical requirements. All of these documents were reviewed and approved by the Johnson Space Center Space Medicine Configuration Control Board in 2009 and 2010, respectively. These documents were then archived when the Constellation Program was canceled in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>Fiscal Year 2012 (FY12) brought the start of the EMSD project and the initial development of the AMP. ExMC generated a new OpsCon document for the AMP to reflect how it would be used for the EMSD. This document was approved by the ExMC Advisory Board and then used to generate functional and technical requirements. These requirements were reviewed by the ExMC Advisory Board and during the EMSD’s System Requirements Review in March 2012. The ExMC Team then used the finalized requirements to determine that a product made by software developers within NASA was applicable. The product, a system called WebPD, has architecture relevant to the EMSD project and is being modified for integration with potential EMSD components. The approach for modifying and integrating the AMP into the EMSD was finalized during the EMSD Preliminary Design Review in June 2013. The AMP, along with other EMSD components, is being prepared for the ground phase of the EMSD, which is currently set for June 2014.</p><p> </p><p>Conclusion: The work by the ExMC team over the past year has enabled them to (1) identify a software system that can be modified to become the AMP system for the EMSD and (2) begin modifying the AMP for integration with other EMSD components. This work immediately addresses CPR Risks #17 and #23 and enables ExMC to better address CPR Risks #17, #20, #22, and #23 in the coming fiscal year.</p><p> </p><p>The objectives for FY14 are to (1) generate the first iteration of the AMP and (2) conduct an evaluation of this AMP’s capability in an analog environment that mimics an exploration-class mission.</p><p> </p>
