TrialX GO: A Key Innovation in Space Health Research & Remote Data Collection

As we prepare to return to the Moon and take humanity’s first steps toward Mars, one question becomes increasingly urgent: How do we safeguard astronaut health in deep space? Unlike Earth-based healthcare systems that rely on continuous internet connectivity, space missions face long communication delays, limited bandwidth, and even total blackouts.
This is where TrialX GO steps in. Originally developed in collaboration with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) as part of the HERMES initiative, TrialX GO has evolved into a next-generation, offline-capable health data platform. It allows astronauts to independently monitor, store, and manage health data, even when they’re millions of miles away from Earth.
From lunar outposts to future Martian habitats, TrialX GO is redefining how health data is collected, stored, and used in the most remote environments.
What is TrialX GO?
TrialX GO is a compact, AI-powered health data server designed to operate on edge computing devices. It works even when there’s no internet connection—making it perfectly suited for space missions where connectivity is limited or unavailable.
It enables astronauts to:
- Monitor biometrics and health conditions in real time
- Run onboard diagnostics with AI support
- Store sensitive data securely for post-mission analysis
- Share data across habitats, spacecraft, and equipment when connectivity is restored
Key Features of TrialX GO
🔹 Offline Data Collection
Captures health data without needing a live internet connection.
🔹 AI-Driven Health Monitoring
Analyzes inputs from wearables and medical devices to deliver real-time insights.
🔹 Cold Health Wallet
A secure, encrypted data vault that keeps medical records safe during missions.
🔹 Seamless Data Transfer
Ensures smooth integration between rovers, habitats, and Earth-based systems.
🔹 Post-Mission Sync
Once the mission ends or bandwidth becomes available, data syncs to the EXPAND Database for research continuity.
How Does TrialX GO Work?
TrialX GO is deployed as a lightweight onboard server that travels with the crew. It consolidates health data from a variety of sources:
- Wearables: Garmin, Samsung Watch, PineTime
- Medical Devices: Ultrasound machines, BP monitors
- Environmental Sensors: Atmocube for air quality and radiation levels
- Clinical Logs: Electronic records and self-reported health updates
Even without contact with Earth, astronauts can:
✔ Access their health history
✔ Receive alerts for emerging issues
✔ Conduct AI-powered self-diagnosis
✔ Track both short-term symptoms and long-term trends
When connectivity resumes, the data is securely uploaded to Earth systems—closing the loop on space health data collection.
Powered by Expand Lite: The Engine Behind TrialX GO
TrialX GO runs on Expand Lite, a scaled-down version of our EXPAND Database platform. This miniaturized software core:
- Operates on edge computing devices suited for space environments
- Integrates with external devices like iPads, Garmin watches, and Bluetooth medical sensors
- Enables offline storage, analysis, and access to health data
- Automatically syncs with Earth-based systems post-mission
Expand Lite ensures that TrialX GO remains fast, secure, and adaptable to the constraints of spaceflight.
Why TrialX GO is a Breakthrough in Space Health
1. Designed for Disconnected Environments
TrialX GO solves the challenge of deep-space disconnection by working 100% offline. It ensures uninterrupted health tracking even during communication blackouts.
2. Promotes Astronaut Independence
Astronauts no longer have to rely entirely on mission control. With TrialX GO, they can manage their own health using real-time, onboard insights.
3. Fuels Long-Term Space Health Research
All mission data collected by TrialX GO is synced to the EXPAND Database, enabling researchers to study health trends, compare across missions, and refine risk models for future space travel.
At TrialX, we believe that resilient health systems are mission-critical to deep space exploration. TrialX GO is our contribution to that future—an offline, AI-ready, portable platform designed to support human health wherever discovery takes us.
As NASA, TRISH, and commercial partners move toward permanent Moon bases and the first crewed missions to Mars, TrialX GO will be a cornerstone of astronaut care—bringing safety, autonomy, and innovation to the edge of the solar system.
