A chronobiologic computerized modular health care (telehygiene) system for humans in extraterrestrial space 1) monitors and analyzes physiologic blood pressure, heart rate and other variation, including that in tumor markers; 2) recognizes earliest risk elevation by dynamic changes in the 'usual value' range (trend and rhythm alteration); 3) prompts timely and timed treatment for cardiovascular and emotional disease-1 and malignancy prevention, and 4) serves for health improvement; the information from the system can also help optimize shift-work schedules for peak performance and provides endpoints of interest in basic science. The system exploits the chronome-2-4, a genetically anchored, habitat-synchronized structure of multifrequency rhythms and trends which is now documented (by longitudinal data series) to respond to magnetic disturbance in the solar system-1, with consequences expressed in catastrophic illness that is best prevented. Such a system, rated by peers as being of highest priority-1, could complement classical tools such as the stethoscope, proposed by the U.S. Johnson Space Center representative for use on the moon-1.
