MAI will create a device for measuring astronauts' stress based on blood glucose levels

Russian scientists are planning to develop a device to measure the stress level of astronauts. In conditions close to weightlessness, researchers are testing the hypothesis of the relationship of this indicator with the amount of sugar in the blood, Izvestia reports .

MAI scientists will create a portable device for measuring stress in astronauts, which will be based on glucose concentration. After completing research on the relationship of these factors, they will develop a wearable device that allows you to constantly monitor the amount of glucose without blood sampling and indicate changes in stress levels.

It is assumed that the device will be useful not only for astronauts, but also for people doing hard work. In particular, the device will be useful to miners, rescuers, pilots, firefighters and others.

Experts have confirmed that it is possible to establish a relationship between stress levels and glucose concentration. However, the level of the compound in the blood is also affected by meals, physical activity. In this regard, it will be difficult to find a clear model of the influence of parameters on each other.

"Glucose's involvement in stress is only one of its few functions in the body. Under stress, the level of this compound will change, but a number of other processes also have a significant impact on it: eating, fasting, exercise, sleep," explained Alexey Umryukhin, head of the Department of Normal Physiology at Sechenov University.

Earlier, Roscosmos announced the number of cosmonauts celebrating the New Year on board the International Space Station. For 21 years, 83 people have spent the holiday in this way.
