Navy Creates iPad App for Managing Stress and Fending off PTSD
The Office of Naval Research, in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is sponsoring development of the Stress Resilience Training System (SRTS), an iPad app training program that teaches Sailors and Marines to understand their stress responses and manage them by learning biofeedback techniques that work for their individual needs. The affordable, hi-tech, solution could help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder, helping warfighters and potentially saving billions of dollars in associated medical costs.
