  Exercise form monitoring by camera: consent-first live view and the exercise specialists' form checklist,
  with no scoring of the crew
category: msk
tier: 3
rung_note: >-
  Max rung 2: the robot positions a camera at a set viewpoint outside the exercise device's moving envelope,
  shows the live view and the form checklist to the crewmember, and records clips only with consent. It
  never scores, measures or compares anyone, never adjusts the device, and "Contact with the crewmember:
  not allowed".

  summary: >-
    On a crewmember's command, or when the crewmember accepts the on-screen prompt at an exercise session
    the exercise specialists scheduled, the robot asks for consent before any camera use, places its camera
    at the viewpoint the exercise specialists set for that device, and shows the live view and their written
    form checklist on the crewmember's own screen. Clips are recorded only if the crewmember agrees, and
    go only to the people the crewmember agrees to. No scoring of any kind: the robot gives no score,
    grade, rating, rank, pass or fail, and no comparison between crewmembers or with earlier sessions;
    it measures nothing from the video (no joint angles, repetition counts, speed or symmetry) and never
    says form is good, bad or improving. Form feedback comes only from the human exercise specialists
    or the CMO. Any pain or injury moves to the matching care protocol.
  why: >-
    Exercise is the most frequent source of injuries in astronauts living aboard the ISS (Scheuring 2009:
    0.003 exercise-related injuries per day), and NASA-STD-3001 requires exercise countermeasures for
    bone, muscle and aerobic fitness (V2 7038). A live view with the exercise specialists' own checklist
    lets the crewmember see their form, and clips let the human specialists give feedback. Automatic scoring
    is excluded by the protocol owner's brief ("allow no scoring of the crew"): scores or comparisons
    could be used to judge crewmembers, are not validated for clinical use, and would add a privacy risk.
    The viewpoint, framing rules and consent steps are design judgment. Open question for review: whether
    clips should be recorded at all, or the view kept live only.
  covers:
  - Camera view and form checklist during scheduled or on-command exercise sessions
  - Clips recorded only with consent, for the exercise specialists and the flight surgeon
  - 'Pain or injury during exercise: RMP-MSK-001; chest pain: RMP-CARD-002'
  locked_out:
  - Diagnosis or naming a cause
  - Any medicine, fluid or oxygen advice; starting, stopping or adjusting oxygen
  - Touching the crewmember
  - >-
    Handing over any medicine outside RMP-PHARM-001, or after a MISMATCH or CANNOT VERIFY (the item stays
    quarantined; only the CMO can ask for it, through the RMP-PHARM-001 logged two-step override)
  - >-
    Scoring, grading, rating, ranking or comparing crewmembers, or comparing a crewmember with earlier
    sessions
  - >-
    Measuring anything from the video (joint angles, repetition counts, speed, symmetry) or running pose-estimation
    software
  - Saying that form is good, bad, correct or improving
  - Adjusting, loading or stopping the exercise device, or moving into its moving envelope
  - Any camera use without consent for that session, or with another crewmember in frame
  - >-
    Showing video on a shared display, or using it to assess, rank or select crewmembers, or for robot
    or AI training, research or outreach without separate written consent
  - Camera use in a hygiene area or sleep station

roles:
  medical_authority: Flight surgeon (ground). Holds medical authority for every run.
  onboard_lead: >-
    Crew medical officer (CMO), acting under delegated care; uses the pre-approved onboard checklist when
    there is no link.
  others:
  - 'Second trained CMO: receives every alert and takes over if the CMO is the patient'
  - 'Vehicle commander: leads any cabin emergency procedure'
  - 'Other crew: help as the CMO or commander directs'
  - >-
    Exercise specialists (ground strength and conditioning specialists working with the flight surgeon):
    set the form checklist and the camera viewpoint, and review clips the crewmember shares
  robot_may:
  - Ask for consent before any camera use
  - Place its camera at the set viewpoint outside the device's moving envelope
  - Show the live view and the form checklist to the crewmember
  - Record and label clips with consent
  - Alert the CMO and flight surgeon to a red flag
  robot_may_not:
  - Score, measure, rank or compare anyone
  - Touch anyone or the exercise device
  - Record without consent or with another crewmember in frame
  - Start a scheduled session without a human accepting the prompt
  commercial: >-
    On commercial flights, 'flight surgeon' and 'CMO' mean the operator's designated medical authority
    and trained onboard responder. If no trained responder is aboard, this protocol is not used. (NASA-STD-3001
    requires two CMOs per vehicle for NASA programs [V1 3006]; FAA rules set no medical standards for
    spaceflight participants.)
preconditions:

    The form session starts only when the crewmember (or the CMO) accepts the on-screen prompt; a loaded
    schedule alone never starts it. An unaccepted prompt is logged privately as "not accepted"; it is
    never reported to the CMO or the exercise specialists, and never counted. A crewmember or the CMO
    can also start it by command.

consent:
  standard: >-
    Before the camera turns on, the crewmember agrees to the camera for this session and chooses live
    view only, or live view with clips. Clips go only to the people the crewmember agrees to. The microphone
    stays off and clips have no audio unless the crewmember agrees to audio. Declining, or not accepting
    a session, is logged privately and never reported or counted.
  emergency: >-
    There is no emergency use of the camera in this protocol: a red flag sends an alert, and the camera
    stays as it was or turns off.
  withdrawal: >-
    The crewmember can turn the camera off or stop recording at any time by voice or on screen; clips
    already taken can be deleted at the crewmember's request unless the flight surgeon holds them for
    an injury report.

  actor: robot
  rung: 2
  action: >-
    Once the crewmember accepts, log that a form session has started (sent to the flight surgeon with
    the next package; URGENT only if a red flag is stated). The form session starts only when the crewmember
    (or the CMO) accepts the on-screen prompt; a loaded schedule alone never starts it. An unaccepted
    prompt is logged privately as "not accepted"; it is never reported to the CMO or the exercise specialists,
    and never counted. A crewmember or the CMO can also start it by command. Every URGENT alert goes to
    the CMO and the flight surgeon at the same time (queued for the flight surgeon if the link is down).
    If the CMO is the patient, is busy treating, or does not answer, the alert goes to the second trained
    CMO, or the crewmember named before flight [V1 3006]. An URGENT alert that is not acknowledged within
    <set by validation> seconds is repeated and sent to the next named crewmember.
  success: Notice logged; prompt accepted or "not accepted" logged.

    rating, rank, pass or fail, and no comparison between crewmembers or with earlier sessions; it measures
    nothing from the video (no joint angles, repetition counts, speed or symmetry) and never says form
    is good, bad or improving. Form feedback comes only from the human exercise specialists or the CMO.

  - Flight surgeon, as medical authority
  - Robotics and medical-device safety board
  - Program approval for the mission
  restart_after_stop: >-
    Human only. After any emergency or protective stop, a crewmember must restart the robot; the robot
    never restarts itself.
  each_run: >-
    Started by the crewmember, or by an accepted prompt. Consent before any camera use; the exercise specialists
    and the CMO give every form judgment.
change_control:
- Every change gets a new version number and a written reason; earlier versions are kept.
- >-
  Any change to steps, thresholds, limits or software that touches the patient repeats validation from
  the simulation stage before use.
- >-
  Software and learned-skill updates follow a pre-agreed change plan (what may change, how it is tested,
  how to roll back), modeled on the FDA predetermined change control plan approach.
- >-
  If a new version misbehaves, the robot rolls back to the last validated version and the event is reviewed
  by the flight surgeon and safety board.
- The robot never changes its own protocol, thresholds or limits.
comms:
  live: 'Low Earth orbit: clips the crewmember shares reach the exercise specialists when the link allows.'
  loss_of_signal:
  - >-
    Only the robot pauses non-essential motion, at a position clear of hatch routes and crew routes, and
    tells the CMO; it resumes offline only on the CMO's confirmation.
  - >-
    Crew exercise, care already under way and all other care continue under the onboard checklist and
    never wait for the link or the robot.
  - Clips are queued; any red flag goes to the CMO at once.

    Abstract: 219 in-flight musculoskeletal injuries in U.S. astronauts; aerobic and resistive exercise
    was among the leading causes; exercise-related injuries had an incidence of 0.003 per day, and exercise
    is the most frequent source of injuries in astronauts living aboard the ISS. Read Oct 21, 2026 (saved

    In-flight back pain is presumably due to elongation of the spine; disc herniation was 4.3 times more
    common in US astronauts (321) than matched controls (983), relatively more often in the neck, with
    evidence that the risk is increased immediately after spaceflight.

    On Earth, a 12-lead ECG should be acquired and interpreted within 10 minutes of arrival; an initial
    normal ECG does not exclude acute coronary syndrome, so ECGs are repeated while symptoms continue;
    chest pain includes pressure, tightness or discomfort in the chest, shoulders, arms, neck, back, upper
    abdomen or jaw; sudden ripping pain radiating to the back is suspicious of an acute aortic syndrome.
