Participants will receive a one-year free membership to Fitbit Premium, which includes access to guided programs, workouts, a wellness report and health metrics dashboard. Users will also have access to Fitbit Health Coaching, where they can get one-on-one coaching and guidance from a licensed health professional or certified health coach.

Program eligibility is based on factors such as whether the person is a veteran, already a Fitbit user and their location. Some veterans who currently receive VA healthcare services may also be eligible to receive a Fitbit Sense health smartwatch.
