Case Study: Objective Zero helps prevent veteran suicide with Foursquare’s Pilgrim SDK

Objective Zero uses Foursquare to support veterans with suicide risk every day

Objective Zero, a nonprofit organization, needed a technological solution to help prevent suicide among at-risk veterans. Their challenge was to identify signs of mental health struggles by detecting meaningful changes in a veteran's real-world behavior patterns. To address this, they turned to Foursquare and leveraged its Pilgrim SDK.

Using Foursquare's Pilgrim SDK, Objective Zero integrated precise location intelligence into its mobile app. This enabled their machine learning algorithms to identify behavioral deviations and deliver timely, geo-located interventions and mental health resources to veterans. The solution provided critical, context-aware support, helping Objective Zero move closer to its mission of veteran suicide prevention. Luca Ventura, the CTO, credited Foursquare's accurate data and easy integration for enhancing their life-saving models.
