Military Health System experts collaborate with NATO partners on brain health guidelines to improve warfighter readiness
BLUF – Military Health System experts collaborated with NATO partners to develop new alliance-wide guidelines for mitigating the brain health risks associated with repetitive low-level blast exposure, publishing recommendations that include immediate protective measures, standardized exposure monitoring, and a research roadmap to improve long-term prevention and care. For Navy Medicine, these guidelines reinforce the growing emphasis on protecting personnel routinely exposed to blast during training and operations by strengthening brain health surveillance, harmonizing clinical practices with allied partners, and advancing evidence-based policies that support long-term warfighter readiness.
