US Navy buys Israeli ‘brain zapper’ to treat vets

Brainsway’s Deep TMS therapy system helps treat PTSD, bipolar, depression and other conditions

The US Navy will be using an Israeli-developed transcranial magnetic stimulation system to treat patients with a range of psychological conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), stress, major depressive disorder, and others.

The Navy has ordered several Deep TMS therapy helmets made by Jerusalem-based Brainsway for use in several of its medical facilities to help treat sailors and their families, as part of a therapy plan that could include counseling, anti-depressives, and other therapies.

“Our validation as a supplier to the US Navy is an important stepping stone for our company into the US market,” said Brainsway CEO and president Guy Ezekiel. “The Navy provides health services to many service people and to their families at a large number of treatment centers, and we are proud to be a part of those services.”

You have got to be kidding me! Sounds like a typical government purchase. Let's let the Navy Heads try this first to see if it works.
