Abstract:
The relationship between astronomy and medicine may not seem immediately obvious, but both fields share deep connections in advancing human understanding and improving quality of life. This talk explores the fascinating intersection where these disciplines meet, particularly in the areas of technology, health, and space exploration. Innovations developed for space missions, such as medical imaging, radiation therapy, and telemedicine, have transformed healthcare practices on Earth. Moreover, the study of space environments and their impact on the human body has led to new insights into human health, aging, and disease. By examining how the challenges of space exploration drive medical advancements, and how astronomical technologies help monitor and treat various medical conditions, we will uncover the profound ways in which these two fields enrich one another. This interdisciplinary approach not only deepens our understanding of the cosmos but also holds the potential to revolutionize the future of medicine.
