NASA tests AI medic for astronauts too far from Earth to call a doctor

NASA researchers are testing an AI clinical decision support system to help astronauts diagnose and treat medical symptoms during deep-space missions. The Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA) is powered by a Red Hat-backed open source tool called RamaLama, designed to simplify how developers run, pull, and serve AI models. While it's no Star Trek-esque Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) quite yet, it could be a boon to ailing astros far from home.
