About this technology
Overview
Through a Space Act Agreement with Ames Research Center, Zephyr Technology of Annapolis, Maryland, worked with NASA physiology experts on motion sickness experiments, resulting in improvements to the company's wearable vital-sign monitors. Zephyr's monitors are now used to monitor the health and fitness of soldiers, first responders, pro athletes, and average consumers looking to get in shape. The company sells thousands of its NASA-enhanced products each month.
