The VetAdvisor® platform embraces the quantified self paradigm to allow veterans to use their non-clinical, personal fitness and sleep monitoring devices to drive the conversation from the subjective to objective measurement of progress. VetAdvisor® coaches and veterans work together to establish personal plans with concrete steps to reach goals and track progress within the platform, providing a comprehensive solution to veteran engagement that redesigns the care experience to increase positive interactions and foster trust.

Ebensburg, PA – Three Wire Systems is a proud provider of career coaching for veterans. It isn’t enough for Three Wire to simply “talk the talk,” though. The company announced today that it is also “walking the walk” by becoming a member of Northrop Grumman’s Network of Champions.

Northrop Grumman (NG) has been providing transition support to severely injured service members for years through Operation IMPACT (Injured Military Pursuing Assisted Career Transition), a program designed to identify career opportunities across NG for wounded warriors. Operation IMPACT is unique in that, if the veteran’s injury precludes entering the workforce, NG attempts to find career placement for that veteran’s family member who serves as the primary wage earner.

In 2009, NG created the Network of Champions, over 87 companies who have partnered with NG to provide a wider network of employment opportunities. If NG is unable to identify an available position, that candidate’s resume is shared with Network members in the hopes of finding a position fitting the candidate’s unique skills and abilities.

“Three Wire is dedicated not only to assisting veterans in their search for employment, but also in reducing veteran unemployment by providing jobs for our wounded warriors and their families,” states Jennifer Roseman-Farabaugh, Three Wire’s Vice President of VetAdvisor® Services. “We’re thrilled to partner with Northrop Grumman in helping to make life easier for those who have served our country.”

Members of the Network of Champions work in partnership with one another, sharing information on various outreach activities and leveraging best practices. The result is a community of like-minded companies, all working toward the goal of providing career transition support to injured service members and their families.

Falls Church, VA – A good night’s sleep can be challenging for all of us, but military veterans experience sleep disorders in disproportionate numbers. In order to better support this population, Lark Technologies and Three Wire Systems are working together to make the LARK™ personalized sleep program more readily available to veterans through Three Wire’s VetAdvisor® platform.

Designed by leading sleep experts, the LARK™ silent alarm, sleep tracker, and personal sleep coach offers cutting-edge sleep tracking and personalized sleep coaching. The LARK™ wristband synchs to an app available for all iOS devices, allowing the user to tailor a sleep plan and self-monitor in order to improve sleep patterns and quality.

As a solution designed to help veterans in their reintegration to civilian life, including the management of sleep disorders, VetAdvisor® is a perfect way for veterans to discover LARK™’s advantages and to integrate sleep management with an overall wellness plan.

“We’re incredibly excited about the possibilities LARK™ holds for military veterans and sleep management,” states Three Wire CEO Dan Frank. “The advantage of the LARK™ is that it allows vets to self-monitor and encourages engagement in both the problem at hand and its solution. We’re looking forward to specifically addressing veteran-centric sleep issues with LARK™ users who are plugged into our VetAdvisor® platform.”

Because VetAdvisor® centers around self-monitoring and achieving wellness through a focus on the quantified self, LARK™ compliments the platform’s other personalized components.

“We are honored to be working with Three Wire Systems and to help America’s honored veterans as they re-enter civilian life,” says Julia Hu, Founder and CEO of LARK. “As veterans adjust to an entirely new schedule, adequate rest can be elusive. We are eager to help vets improve their sleeping habits so they can take full advantage of their time spent awake, enjoying the comforts of home.”
