Kaizen, the leading AI-native builder and operator of mission-critical applications for the U.S. military and federal agencies, today announced its work as a subcontractor to GovCIO, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) prime contractor for the modernization of VA.gov. Kaizen contributed design and front-end development for the refreshed site’s homepage and the new My VA page Veterans see once they sign in – both part of the upgrades rolling out this Veterans Day.
A More Connected VA.gov Experience
Veterans told VA it was too hard to find what they needed on VA.gov. The refreshed homepage is built around what Veterans come to do most, with a cleaner, more consistent design. Once signed in, My VA puts each Veteran’s top tasks, status updates, and next steps in one place, with paths to health care, benefits, and payments.
“Veterans come to VA.gov to get something done – apply for a benefit, check a claim, manage their health care – and that experience should be straightforward and efficient,” said Nikhil Reddy, co-founder and CEO of Kaizen. “This work is an important step toward making it easier for Veterans to access the benefits and services they’ve earned. We’re proud to be part of the GovCIO team supporting VA and look forward to continuing to build.”
“The upgrades to VA.gov are focused on making it easier for Veterans to find and act on the information they need. Kaizen contributed design and front-end work as part of our team, helping bring health care, benefits, and payments together in a clearer, more consistent homepage experience,” said Kristin Gill, Sector President, Veteran and Enterprise Technology Services, GovCIO.
Built with Veterans
The upgraded homepages use the VA.gov Design System and were tested with Veterans, including Veterans who use screen readers and other assistive technology. Their feedback shaped the work ahead of launch.
