Lovell and CalmiGo Partner to Deliver Drug-Free Anxiety Solution to Veterans
Lovell Government Services and CalmiGo, a mental health platform specializing in anxiety, PTSD, and panic attack management, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at serving federal healthcare systems. The collaboration will provide the CalmiGo Plus solution to the Veterans Health Administration, the Military Health System, and the Indian Health Service, with Lovell Government Services serving as CalmiGo's Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business vendor.
The partnership addresses a critical need within the veteran community, where PTSD and anxiety disorders remain prevalent challenges. Through this arrangement, federal healthcare systems will gain access to CalmiGo Plus, a comprehensive solution that includes a scientifically proven, drug-free device paired with an optional companion mobile application. The technology is designed to empower users to manage their anxiety and halt debilitating attacks in under three minutes by providing immediate, non-pharmaceutical relief.
The CalmiGo device employs patented technology that combines embedded sensors with machine learning algorithms to regulate breathing patterns effectively. The sophisticated system learns each user's individual breathing patterns in real time, providing personalized guidance and feedback to help extend the length of exhalation. This breathing regulation technique maximizes the calming effect, leveraging established principles of respiratory therapy to induce physiological relaxation.
The companion app enhances the device's effectiveness through gamification technology that encourages consistent use and improves long-term outcomes. Users can manage their anxiety more efficiently while monitoring their anxiety levels and tracking progress over time. This data-driven approach allows both users and their healthcare providers to gain insights into anxiety patterns and treatment effectiveness, facilitating more informed care decisions.
"PTSD and anxiety are very common amongst veterans who have sacrificed so much to service their country," says Adi Wallach, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at CalmiGo. "It is a great honor to partner with Lovell to ensure that our veterans are receiving the care that they deserve. Now that CalmiGo Plus is available to veterans, they can achieve a state of calm within minutes and benefit from our personalized gamification technology and progress insights through the new app."
The partnership leverages Lovell Government Services' established position as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, enabling CalmiGo to navigate federal procurement processes while ensuring compliance with government contracting requirements. This designation facilitates access to set-aside contracts and preferences that support veteran-owned businesses while delivering innovative healthcare solutions to those who have served.
The availability of CalmiGo Plus through federal healthcare systems represents a significant advancement in non-pharmaceutical intervention options for mental health management. As the healthcare community continues to seek alternatives to medication-based treatments for anxiety and PTSD, particularly given concerns about dependency and side effects, solutions like CalmiGo Plus offer promising pathways for symptom management. The partnership between Lovell and CalmiGo demonstrates how innovative technology companies can collaborate with specialized government services providers to deliver cutting-edge mental health tools to veteran populations who need them most.
