From the Innovator
Via the Greenhouse Initiative, frontline employees from VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, participated in the co-design and user experience testing of this product.
"Unnecessary suffering or dying at-home because someone can't afford quality internet, especially when a cost-saving model of care solution is available is important to me.
Developing this product made me proud of myself again, gave me a purpose, got my fight back, and increased the ratio of salt in my hair. To me, VA innovation means pushing the entire country's care model forward and sharing it in an open-source manner for all people."
