Among the many innovations featured, the Cardi/o Monitor is a noninvasive, wall-mounted system that continuously tracks vital signs like heart rate and respiration without touching the patient.

Developed using NASA's expertise in remote sensing, this technology, once critical for monitoring astronaut health in space, is now revolutionizing home healthcare, offering patients greater freedom and clinicians earlier warnings of potential problems.

Under the leadership of Dr. Nicole Wagner, LambdaVision is revolutionizing vision restoration through protein-based retinal implants, and the unique environment of space is playing a critical role.

On Earth, gravity interferes with the delicate layering of proteins necessary to build the implant, introducing imperfections that can compromise function. However, in the weightlessness of space, the layering process becomes dramatically more precise and stable, producing higher-quality implants with significantly improved potential for restoring sight.

Through partnerships with NASA and the ISS, LambdaVision has conducted nine spaceflight missions to refine its production techniques in microgravity. These experiments prove feasibility and accelerate the path toward clinical trials on Earth.

Beyond technical achievement, LambdaVision's work represents a larger shift: using space as a manufacturing platform for next-generation biomedical solutions.

If successful, LambdaVision's implants could restore functional vision for millions, turning once-impossible hopes into transformative realities.
