What SUAS does

Surface signals, coordinate support

SUAS helps veterans check in, generate a support signal for coordination (not diagnosis), alert trusted contacts with consent, route resources, and log responder follow-up.

  • Daily or periodic check-ins in plain language
  • Support signal levels (green through red) for coordination
  • Trusted-circle alerts with visibility controls
  • Resource suggestions by category and county
  • Responder queue and outreach logging (demo)

What SUAS does not do

Clear boundaries

We do not overstate what this platform can do. SUAS is early support infrastructure — not emergency care or clinical prediction.

  • Predict suicide or guarantee prevention
  • Diagnose or replace professional treatment
  • Replace 911 or crisis lines
  • Claim VA approval, HIPAA compliance, or government partnership
  • Present demo metrics as real outcomes

Five steps to earlier support

Each step is designed to reduce isolation before everyday struggles escalate.

1

Check in

Veterans answer brief questions about sleep, stress, connection, pressure areas, and safety.

2

Signal support need

Responses inform a support signal — yellow, orange, or red — for coordination, not clinical labeling.

3

Coordinate trusted support

Consent-based alerts reach family, peers, or responders based on what the veteran chose.

4

Route resources

Housing, benefits, health, food, and community resources surface as next steps.

5

Track follow-up

Responders log outreach, referrals, and pending follow-up on a shared timeline (demo).

Example journey

Poor sleep, isolation, and money pressure

Demo scenario — not a real veteran case or clinical outcome.

A veteran reports poor sleep, pulling away from people, and pressure from money and benefits delays. SUAS creates a yellow or orange support signal, recommends light peer outreach, surfaces benefits and housing resources, and adds follow-up to the responder dashboard for a nonprofit partner to log contact within 48 hours.

Privacy and consent

Veterans choose who is in the trusted circle, what they see, and when alerts fire.

Data minimization is a design goal for the pilot: collect what coordination needs, not everything a system could store. Full privacy policy and legal review are pilot readiness items — not completed claims.

Escalation boundaries

Red signals prompt safety guidance and crisis resources — not automated emergency dispatch.

If someone is in immediate danger, they should contact emergency services or a crisis line right away.

If you may be in immediate danger or might hurt yourself or someone else, contact emergency services or a crisis line right now. SUAS is a support coordination tool and does not replace emergency care.

Pilot proof goals

What we aim to learn in a structured pilot — process and usefulness, not clinical efficacy claims.

  • Check-in completion rates and veteran feedback
  • Trusted-circle setup and alert usefulness
  • Whether support signals help responders prioritize
  • Resource routing clarity and referral follow-through
  • Responder workflow burden and queue management
  • Privacy and consent comprehension
