- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) This RFI is a market survey for information to be used for planning purposes only. Thepurpose of this RFI is to obtain information from industry and potential sources for anAmbulatory Physiological Monitoring system that NASA will test for suitability in healthmonitoring of crew stationed aboard the International Space Station (ISS)NASA Ames Research Center intends to evaluate systems on short-term basis. We requestindustry to provide any information, solutions, or product offering that will meet ourbelow minimum requirements:1)3-lead electrocardiogram, body posture and activity sensors, GPS for locationtracking.2)Battery life at least 36 hours for internal data storage and a minimum of 12hours for wireless data transmission.3)Bluetooth antenna capable of transmitting data up to a range of 100 yards.4)System battery recharging in less than 60 minutes or less.5)Wearable garment containing textile based sensors. Must be lightweight, washableand reusable.6)Software must provide real time displays of data and can export data in bothbinary and text formats. 7)Software should include data processing, editing, and reporting capabilities(e.g., statistical analyses in frequency and time domains, feature extraction to detectabnormal heart beats like ventricular extra-systole, and notation). This preliminary information is being made available for planning purposes only, subjectto FAR Clause 52.215-3, entitled Request for Information or Solicitation for PlanningPurposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal, and it is not to be construedas a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract, nor will the Government payfor the information submitted in response to this request.
