Donning everything from combat trousers through to helmets, virtual military troops, in the forms of mannequins, will be fully dressed and the clothing will be assessed to check whether it meets the set criteria and to discover what improvements can be made in the testing chambers.

Medical ultrasound applications have been used for the last few decades for diagnostics purposes and to discover many modern diseases and issues in patients. Parents have had their first view of their unborn with the use of ultrasound in medicine, and now professionals are testing ultrasound as a first line defense option for neurocritical emergency situations. Regulatory affairs professionals will be monitoring this ongoing medical ultrasound technology development as the ultrasound is directed at the brain directly at certain frequencies and ongoing debates around ultrasound effects still have opposing sides. This technology can offer an immediate medical treatment for epileptic seizures, which if unyielding can be fatal, and also perhaps other treatments, including Parkinson’s disease, depression and dystonia.
