Objective Zero

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Annie App is a Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging capability that promotes self-care for Veterans enrolled in VA health care. When your provider or a member of your VA health care team signs you up for Annie for a health issue, you will receive automated messages that prompt you to track your own health. You are asked to reply to messages so that Annie can let you know how you are doing. Annie also can send you messages from your local VA medical facility.

You can use Annie if you have a basic cell phone that includes a texting feature (also known as SMS text messaging). If you have a smartphone, you can use the texting feature of the phone, or use the Annie App for Veterans. You can also use the Annie App for Veterans with a computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. Whichever way you choose, Annie can help you track your health on your own. A Self Subscribed protocol can be assigned by a Veteran who is already enrolled in Annie. Click button below to find out more :

Annie Protocols Available for Self-Subscription

Annie is for self-care. Your text and message replies to Annie are kept in a computer system. Your VA health care team will be able to view the messages, but will not routinely review them. Annie is not a way to text your VA clinician. You are responsible for your own health and should contact your VA health care team directly when you have health issues. Text messaging is not secure (texts can be read by anyone with access to your phone) and has costs, depending on your plan.

Features:

Send and receive messages securely about your health data and readings
Graph the data you have sent through Annie for easy tracking
Receive announcements and messages about your VA medical facility
Receive educational and motivational messages to help keep working toward health care goals
