Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) has announced a collaboration with the major U.S. healthcare system Geisinger, which has become the first major clinical and life sciences partner for its Voyager Institute for Space Technology and Advancement.
The memorandum of understanding signed by the parties establishes a joint research framework aimed at translating the unique conditions of microgravity environments into breakthrough applications for human health. The collaboration will focus on areas including space-based pharmaceutical development, remote patient monitoring and telehealth, next-generation healthcare cybersecurity platforms, multi-omics and spaceflight biological effects, as well as unique clinical trial opportunities in microgravity.
Under the agreement, Voyager and Geisinger will jointly seek external research funding of up to $1 million.
