How to Connect Your VA.gov Account to Vet mHealth

Caring for your health or the health of a loved one shouldn’t mean juggling paper files, scattered apps, and long waits for access to vital records. That’s why Vet mHealth was built—to help veterans and caregivers gather everything in one place.

One of the most powerful features of Vet mHealth is its ability to connect directly with your VA.gov account. Using the VA’s Patient Health APIs, we can download your official VA health data right into the Vet mHealth app. Once connected, you’ll be able to combine that information with vitals, medications, and observations you track daily—giving you a smarter, more connected way to manage your care.

Step-by-Step: Connecting Your VA.gov Account

What Happens Next

Once connected, you can:

• Track vitals easily: Enter blood pressure, weight, glucose, and more—by typing or simply speaking into the app.

• Record medications and observations: Create a medication list and record observations like vaccines, ER visits, falls, photos, and symptoms.

• Store important documents: Upload medical, insurance, and legal files such as discharge papers, prescriptions, power of attorney, directives, vaccine cards, and appointment notes.

• Share with caregivers: Provide caregivers with up-to-date health information to improve treatment and respond faster in emergencies. See video about how to add a caregiver.

• Be prepared for VA benefits claims: Organize your health records to strengthen claims and streamline communication with the VA.

  
  

Important to Know

Vet mHealth uses the VA’s Patient Health APIs to download your health data from VA.gov. However, it’s important to note:

• You cannot update or change your VA medical records from within Vet mHealth.

• Any vitals, medications, or observations you add in the app stay in Vet mHealth, where you control how and when they’re shared.

  
  

Why It Matters

Vet mHealth is more than just an app. It’s a commitment to honoring service with smarter, more connected care. By uniting VA health records with the daily tracking tools veterans and caregivers need, Vet mHealth empowers you to take control of your health journey.

Your service deserves nothing less!
