..."Eligibility will be based on various factors such as whether an individual is a Veteran, already a Fitbit user and their location. Additionally, some Veterans who currently receive VA healthcare may be eligible to receive a Fitbit Sense, Fitbit’s most advanced health smartwatch.
VA’s goal is to build a Veteran community using innovative wearable technology focused on improving health and wellness. VA is working with Veteran Service Organizations and community-based organizations to explore how wearables (and other digital health technologies) can help Veterans and VA health care teams meet their health care needs.
“We see the potential of digital health to increase access and transform how we care for Veterans based on technologies like smartphones and mobile apps already being widely used,” said Joshua Patterson, director of Care and Transformational Initiatives, VHA IE. “This initiative aims to advance how our support becomes more personal when we better understand the day-to-day challenges facing every Veteran, their caregivers and VA staff, and especially now.”
Interested Veterans, caregivers and VA staff who currently use Fitbit devices are encouraged to express their interest in participating at https://healthsolutions.fitbit.com/veterans."
