The Veterans Phone is a proposed Android launcher application. A replacement home screen built around the user's needs, not a platform's commercial interests. Built with veterans. Built for calm.
Explore the demoVeterans often choose to disconnect completely, both physically and digitally, from other people, from the news and the outside world. We see it every day at the Veterans Hub in Hobart.
Digitally, the experience on phones is either all or nothing. Platform providers create an always-on experience with unfiltered access to a flood of information that is hard to control. For veterans managing hypervigilance and trauma, that is not uncomfortable. It is harmful.
The phone layout we are building is aimed at creating a controlled digital environment, like a controlled physical environment. Just the minimum needed to connect with only the people that matter and only the services you want and need.
Select a tab to explore each layer. Toggle the phone's display mode using the button in the status bar.
Not separate tools requiring separate decisions. One environment, built around the person and their actual needs.
This project is built around four partners. The veteran comes first. Everything else follows from that.
An initial discussion to explore alignment, identify where your organisation's capabilities and interests map to the project, and map a joint pathway to grant application. No commitment required at this stage.
