NEWAVX is developing passive technology designed to help protect human health during prolonged spaceflight while creating new possibilities for healthcare here on Earth.

Exercise is essential in space, but it cannot always prevent physical decline and requires valuable time, energy and equipment. NEWAVX aims to develop a compact, passive countermeasure that could work alongside existing astronaut exercise programmes.

The same biological challenges experienced in space also affect people on Earth through ageing, critical illness, injury and prolonged immobility. By developing NEWAVX for space, we aim to create new solutions for patients who cannot access the full benefits of conventional exercise.
