How The Mitochondria is built.

Eight topics explain the architecture behind the platform — what each part does, why it matters for long-duration spaceflight, and exactly what is implemented today versus what still needs hardware, hosts or validation.

Technology topics

  • Layered, vendor-neutral design

    System Architecture

    Presentation, application, domain, integration and infrastructure boundaries keep health meaning independent from vendor APIs and screens.

  • Universal device adapter SDK

    Device Integration

    One adapter lifecycle — discovery, connection, capabilities, streaming, quality, normalization, cursors, health and disconnect — for every source.

  • Wearable source classes

    Wearables

    Web Bluetooth, Android Health Connect and Apple HealthKit bridge contracts and vendor-cloud imports converge on one canonical metric model.

  • Periodic biomarker ingestion

    Medical & Laboratory Data

    CSV, explicitly mapped FHIR Observations, manual entry and medical-device readings keep specimen, method and reference-context provenance.

  • Habitat and radiation context

    Environmental Telemetry

    Habitat and dosimetry adapters keep compartment, detector, unit and quality context on the same mission timeline as physiology.

  • One reviewed meaning per metric

    Canonical Health Data Model

    Metrics are normalized through a reviewed registry with deterministic serialization, unit safety, provenance and research/operational classification.

  • The health loop continues without Earth

    Offline-First Architecture

    Encrypted local storage, append-only events, a protocol cache and an idempotent sync queue keep the astronaut-side loop working during network loss.

  • Mission-scoped access, audited

    Security & Privacy

    Forced row-level security, mission-scoped roles, pseudonymized research export, audit trails and encrypted local storage form the current security boundary.
