Veterans Health Administration iNET

The VHA Innovators Network (iNET) brings together individuals dedicated to improving the lives of Veterans. Since 2021, Xander has collaborated with Innovation Specialists and Veterans through the Greenhouse Initiative of iNET. This collaboration enabled us to test prototypes of XanderGlasses with Veterans with severe hearing loss and receive practical feedback from them and their audiologists.

The AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP (ATC) leads a global mission to improve people’s lives as they age. After completing the ATC Accelerator Program in 2023, we joined the ATC ecosystem that brings together innovative startups, creative investors, subject-matter experts, industry leaders, forward-thinking enterprises, and testbeds with a shared mission. Xander is honored to be a part of this insightful community committed to transforming the longevity economy.

Xander is proud of its partnership with Vuzix whose optical expertise of the Vuzix team complements Xander's audio expertise. 

Community Connections & Supported Causes

Xander is committed to improving communication for people with severe to profound hearing loss and other auditory disorders. We applaud the important work undertaken by organizations like the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). Xander contributes to events and groups that create a sense of community, advocate for resources and accessibility, and empower individuals affected by hearing loss. We proudly sponsor the HLAA's Walk4Hearing, participate in the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA), the Disability Tech Summit, and Joint Defense Veterans Audiology Conference, and similar programs. We are excited to pilot XanderGlasses as an assistive technology device offered at the Museum of Science, Boston.
