Military & Veterans Health
Military readiness and veteran well-being depend on evidence, trusted data, and systems that perform under real-world constraints. Abt partners with defense, veterans, and public-sector clients to strengthen care delivery and operational decision-making across the lifecycle of service—from active-duty populations and military families to veteran communities.
We help clients move from reactive reporting to proactive, mission-aligned intelligence by modernizing legacy environments without downtime, connecting fragmented data, and delivering secure, interoperable platforms. Our teams build automated data pipelines that streamline submission, validation, and analysis; address interoperability barriers with shared standards and governance; and enable secure exchange of sensitive documentation at scale. We also stand up high-volume, high-velocity data operations to deliver trusted insights when timelines are tight.

Defense Health Agency (DHA)
Naval Health Research Center (NHRC)
