This is a gem and an amazing few minutes of history. Al Mann is interviewed in this NASA syndicated program called, The Space Story, and in it Al talks about how NASA space research helped bloom his ideas into the innovative technologies and medical devices that, little did he know at the time, would save and touch the lives of many. In it he discusses mainly diabetes, the insulin pump, and briefly mentions the artificial pancreas. Al Mann was light years ahead, and I am humbled by these few minutes of the past, which has brought us here. He is interviewed in the first segment and from what I could make out in the audio of the second segment, cardiac technology being highlighted, but only one person discusses it. • The first features Al and is called, "Space Science Implants" and 5:00—9:20 • The second features various applications being developed from using advanced technology through NASA and is called, "Space Age Sensors For Your Heart" I personally recommend listening to the entire audio. The Space Story. September 24, 1984. Program #1084 to 1087. NASA syndication. Sustaining. 1084. "Space Shuttle 41G," with astronauts Bob Crippen and Dave Leestma 1085. "Space Science Implanting," with Alfred E. Mann (Pacesetter Systems Inc.) 1086. "Space Flight Participant Program," with Patrick Templeton (NASA HQ) 1087. "Space Age Sensors For Your Heart," with Dick Sharnitiski (Heartrate Inc.) Robert Crippen, Dave Leestma, Alfred E. Mann, Patrick Templeton, Dick Sharnitiski. NASA Special Report 239/Space Story 1084—1087 |

Astronauts get Insulin resistance...while in space...Inhaled insulin study..in space..makes sense...imagine seeing astronauts inhaling Afrezza...on a national commercial...preparing for a long trip to Mars..

www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/277.html"The use of microcapsules will benefit the treatment of several diseases. For example, to eliminate daily insulin shots diabetes patients can use implanted microcapsules as treatment. A further Earth application is the microcapsules can be used as a substitution for chemotherapy. Traditional anti-cancer treatment involves large quantities of drugs that affect the entire body. The microcapsules contain a smaller dose of medication that directly targets tumors. Also, they reduce the unwanted side effects currently produced by chemotherapy. Applications Space Applications Expanding our understanding of the use of microgravity to enable development of new drug delivery devices which can protect astronauts on long-duration space missions and provide alternative delivery routes and countermeasures to injured or sick crew members." Will someone please call NASA and inform them that Mannkind has an inhaled insulin the reduces insulin resistance with no hypo's even when you eat nothing when used alone in type 2 diabetics...seems a Mars mission can use Afrezza!

Al had a partnership with Parker Hannifin. They developed an insulin pump that worked great in space / zero gravity environment. Once gravity was introduced, there was an air bubble issue so no go on earth.

He designed parts for the spacecraft used in the Apollo 11 Lunar Mission. Wonder if they met while Al was at SpectroLabs working with NASA? |
