title: An Integrated International Aerospace Medical Information System.
abstract: An Integrated International Aerospace Medical Information System (IIASMIS) is proposed.  Such a system is needed to allow all appropriate resources to be brought to bear on the medical problems that must be solved for safe extended manned missions.  Existing medical data bases are reviewed.  The suggested approach involves the formation of an international working group that would determine the scope of the problem, identify the real needs, and design the top-level architecture of the system.  Participants would develop national data bases independently.  A prototype system would be developed and evaluated; upon satisfactory operation, it would be expanded to include all active partners.
