Emerging Science and Technology to Address Naval Undersea Medicine Needs

In March 2024, the National Academies hosted a public workshop, sponsored by the Office of Naval research, to assess the operational and medical needs of the U.S. Navy and how they might be met with developing science and technology. Speakers focused on innovations to address health and safety challenges among divers and submariners, including decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity, fatigue, contaminated water, extreme temperatures, and long deployments.
