Imagine unlocking the future of medicine with a single mathematical formula. That's what we're exploring with the brilliant Dr. Lex Van Loon, who has made an incredible impact in the realm of technical medicine. As a pioneer in this specialized field, Dr. Van Loon reveals how he uses mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence to transform biocomputation, and shares his experiences from the technical medicine program in the Netherlands. This unique course blends physics, mathematics, and medicine to equip doctors with the knowledge they need to embrace the latest techniques and technologies in healthcare.

The journey doesn't end there. Dr. Van Loon transports us to the sunny shores of Australia, where he ventured into the thrilling world of space medicine. Hear about his ground-breaking work in developing a model that predicts a person's fitness for space travel using patient data. This innovative approach has significant implications for space tourism, offering a safer and more personalized experience for future astronauts. 

As we soar into the final frontier, Dr. Van Loon delves into the physical impacts of space travel on the human body. He illuminates the process of creating personalized models of the cardiopulmonary system to assess an individual's health and fitness for space missions. We also explore the potential of using simulations for real-time health assessments of astronauts in space. And for all you young explorers out there, Dr. Van Loon shares some invaluable advice for those aspiring to make their mark in this incredible field. So, are you ready to launch into the future of space medicine? Tune in and let's embark on this extraordinary journey together.
