Sunu takes first steps to becoming an approved vendor for the US Veterans Administration

We are taking the first steps to becoming an approved vendor for the United States Veterans Affairs, VA. This week, we began our collaboration with New Products & Technology Committee at the Tucson Arizona VA Blind Rehabilitation Center, which will be testing out the Sunu Band and our mobile app. We will be providing the VA team with on-boarding and virtual training throughout the next couple of weeks.  This is an important steps towards attaining vendor status with the VA healthcare system. 

What is the VA?

The Veterans Health Administration is the first national healthcare system to completely integrate rehabilitation services for Veteran and active Service-members with visual impairments into its health benefits. There are more than one million US Veterans who are blind and visually impaired. The VA provides blind and low vision rehabilitation services as well as cutting-edge assistive technology throughout its blind and low vision clinics, outpatient clinics and blind rehabilitation centers across the USA and its territories.

Sunu is the best thing to happen for visually impaired Veterans who are blind. The Sunu Band would help avoid accidents and injuries which usually lead to pain and suffering, medical bills, lawsuits and insurance claims. And that's just the beginning. This product has the potential to help 285 million visually impaired and blind people worldwide. Working with the Department of Veterans Affairs of The United States is a great place to be at this early stage and could snowball to the greater population. Thanks for the update... Way to GO Sunu!

I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and as such I know firsthand how much the VA is in need of quality programs and products for our brother’s in arms. When the brave young men and woman that take the sacred oath to protect and serve our nation have an expectation that if they get injured that they will be taken care of by the VA to get them back to functional order using the very best that’s out there. I believe that this product is the right one to help all of our permanently disabled Veterans our there!!!

Fernando Albertorio Thank you for your service @allen-forkell. We're learning how to work with the VA and we understand that it can be a slow process. My dad was a veteran of the US air force and I appreciate the work that the VA clinics are doing. I also see an opportunity to connect Sunu with organizations for Veterans like Wounded Warrior Project. Please reach back to me if you or anyone you know have connections there.

I hope that the VA "Reviewers" carefully consider all of the wonderful benefits that Sunu can provide to our disabled vets. This could go a long way in not only HELPING the affected individuals but save money that could be used for other purposes.
