VA is making it easier than ever for Veterans to take charge of their health—right from their phone! The new Share My Health Data app lets you sync health info from devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and digital scales. With just a few taps, share your wellness data with your VA care team, helping them better understand your progress and make informed decisions. To put the app to the test, the VA team in Cincinnati launched the “6 Service Challenge.” Ninety-six Veterans tracked their wellness over 10 weeks, logging over 36 million steps—equal to 16,000 miles! Participants reported better sleep, lower blood pressure, and increased energy. Thank you for watching and thank you for your service! #VANews #HealthApp #VeteranWellness #veterans
