Sentinel is a free wellness companion built for veterans, from the Veterans Sentinel Initiative.
It quietly watches over your sleep and heart patterns from your smartwatch or ring, and gently checks in when it notices you may be having a harder stretch — never a diagnosis, just a nudge toward support.
What Sentinel offers
• A calm daily dashboard of your sleep, heart rate, HRV, and activity trends
• Short, guided resilience practices for hard moments
• A personal safety plan you build with simple taps — ready when you need it
• The Battle Buddy network: connect with a fellow veteran, or a family member or friend, who can be there for you
• One-tap access to the Veterans Crisis Line (988)
Your health data stays on your device. Sentinel is a supportive tool — not a medical device, and not a substitute for professional care or emergency services.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988, then press 1.
