Industry innovation for veterans from Veterans Affairs

Okay, the deal is to work with private industry in the spirit of "public/private innovation" and to figure out new tech to better help vets in the field, in areas including medical tech, housing for homeless vets and tools to help veteran entrepreneurs

Those were the themes of the third phase of the VA Innovation Initiative (VAi2). In one part, vendors proposed new tech for patient monitoring, mobility and wireless being a big part. The judging was performed by VA rank-and-file workers for the most part. (I was also involved, but my contributions were not significant compared to the people who really know stuff.)
