Disabled Veterans Network (DVN) A Social Networking Site (SNS) For Disabled Veterans, Their Families and Caregiving Facilities For Real Time, Rapid and Effective Communication For Crisis Management
Disabled Veterans face challenges with seeing and communicating with family and friends due the Covid-19 Pandemic. Along with Disabled Veterans not being able to see their families on a consistent basis caregiving facilities may face challenges communicating how well Disabled Veterans are doing, what initiatives they have in place to protect them and marketing their facilities to remain in business. Allowing Disabled Veterans to communicate with their families on a regular basis in real time can improve the quality of life for veterans while maintaining social distancing. Real time communication using social networking sites or SNS can help any organization manage communication problems especially during a time of crisis. Specific SNSs may help to meet needs within specific communities such as Disabled Veteran Communities with real time, rapid and effective communication.
Please share any additional details about this challenge that will help the Maker Teams design a solution
What is the Disabled Veterans Network? The Disabled Veterans Network (DVN) is a social networking site created to aid with communication between veterans, their families and caregiving facilities specifically (Clinton, 2020). This works using a similar concept to the VHA Innovation Ecosystem Challenge America Platform and Facebook. For example, Veterans can become a member, create a profile and befriend family members to communicate how they are doing in real time on DVN. Caregiving facilities may also create profiles and groups to update families about emergency contingency plans, new initiatives, marketing services and visiting hours to Disabled Veterans and their families using the DVN posting and group systems. Communication has become one of the most valuable assets in the world especially within the Disabled Veterans communities. DVN can help to bridge the gap between Disabled Veterans, their families and caregiving facilities by providing a social networking site (SNS) specifically for disabled veterans (Clinton, 2020). In closing, there are other social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram, but none specifically cater to the Disabled Veteran communities like The Disabled Veterans Network (DVN) does. DVN helps with real time, rapid and effective communication.
