VA Telehealth Tablet Program | Free Tablets for Veterans

Available for Veterans

What Is the VA Telehealth Tablet Program?

The Veterans Affairs (VA) Telehealth Tablet Program is designed to bring quality healthcare directly to veterans, no matter where they live. The program recognizes that traveling long distances or waiting for appointments can be especially challenging for veterans with health or mobility issues.

The VA Telehealth initiative combines video appointments, remote patient monitoring, and digital health tools to ensure veterans stay connected with their healthcare providers. A key component is the VA-loaned tablet, provided to eligible veterans who lack access to a device or reliable internet.

How the VA Telehealth Program Works

Secure video visits with VA providers through tablet, smartphone, or computer. Caregivers can also join appointments.

Remote Patient Monitoring

Devices track health data like blood pressure and oxygen levels, securely sending information to VA care teams.

ATLAS Sites

For veterans without stable internet, VA offers Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations (ATLAS) with private equipped spaces.
