Orthostatic intolerance is a challenge on 🌍 and after 🚀. Hönemann et al used tilt to show LBNP aids post-landing tolerance—though mechanisms need study. The Technavance Solution combines tilt, LBNP, and auto pressure control in one device!

🚀Whittle et al. used the Cadillac of LBNP chambers—automated pressure control + tilt—to investigate countermeasures to spaceflight’s negative effects. They mapped dose-response curves showing LBNP reduces venous flow stagnation, a key spaceflight risk🪐
