WVU Develops AI Digital Twins For Astronauts
West Virginia University researchers, led by Valeriya Gritsenko and Sergiy Yakovenko, are developing AI-driven personalized digital twins to monitor astronauts' movement and neuromuscular function during long-term microgravity missions. Funded by a $750,000 NASA award, the project uses motion capture, wearable sensors and physics-based simulations in virtual-reality tasks to detect early deconditioning and recommend individualized countermeasures. The system aims to enable autonomous onboard monitoring, guide rehabilitation after landing, and extend to terrestrial telemedicine.
