Red Hat, Team Guidehouse Named Winner In Mission Daybreak Challenge To Reduce Veteran Suicides
Red Hat News, March 22nd, 2023
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is looking for innovative ways to address the issue of Veteran suicide. To that end, its Mission Daybreak grand challenge will award $20 million in support of cutting-edge suicide prevention solutions.
In 2022, Red Hat teamed with global consulting services provider Guidehouse and Philip Held, Ph.D. of Rush University Medical Center, to develop new data-driven means of identifying Veterans at risk for suicide. The combined group - known as Team Guidehouse - was named one of 30 Mission Daybreak finalists and proceeded to the final round of Phase 2 where they presented their solutions to key stakeholders, investors, and partners at a demo day on November 4th, 2022.
We're thrilled to share that Team Guidehouse was named a winner in the Mission Daybreak challenge, Phase 2, and will move forward with developing the solution for the VA's efforts to reduce Veteran suicides.
