Thrive app FAQs
Yes, to be in compliance with the latest data and privacy policies, users must create an account to protect their data while using the Thrive app. See our Privacy Policy and Terms to learn more.

Native Apple iOS alerts are now available for use. They provide more consistency and a better user experience.
Fall Alert FAQs
Yes, the data is equivalent to a text message.
No, Fall Alert notifications are merely a tool that may assist in communicating certain information to one or more third-party contacts the user has identified. The Thrive app does not communicate with emergency services or provide emergency assistance in any way and is not a substitute for contacting professional emergency services. The operation of the Thrive app’s fall-detection features depends on wireless connectivity for both the user and the user’s designated contact(s), and the feature will not successfully deliver a message if Bluetooth® or cellular connectivity is lost or interrupted at any point in the communication pathway.
Connectivity can be lost under a number of circumstances, such as: a paired mobile device is out of range of the hearing aid(s) or otherwise loses connectivity with the hearing aid(s); the hearing aids or mobile device are not turned on or sufficiently powered; a mobile device is in airplane mode; a mobile device malfunctions; or if bad weather interrupts a mobile device’s network connectivity.
No, the Fall Alert feature is designed and distributed as a general wellness product. The Fall Alert feature is not designed or in any way intended to detect, diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any specific disease or particular, medical condition and is not targeted to any specific or particular population. Rather, the Fall Alert feature is designed only to detect that a user may have fallen and try to send a text message in response to such an event, in support of the user’s general health.
A Fall Alert is triggered if the hearing aid wearer falls while walking. It does not trigger in examples when the hearing aid wearer falls while on a bicycle, sliding or riding in a vehicle.
The patient must have Location Services on their phone for the map to display.
No, for privacy reasons, we are unable to send a notification to the contact if the patient has removed them.
Yes, if a patient chooses to clear their cloud data, fall history will be lost. If a hearing professional disables the feature, fall data will be available for 30 days.
Yes, a contact can opt out at any time. If they do opt out, the patient will be notified. If the contact who opted out happens to be their only Fall Alert contact, the patient will get a notification in the Thrive app that the Fall Alert feature is inactive until another contact is identified.
Falling is a major health problem and a growing concern. Using integrated sensors, our Fall Alert feature can detect falls and send alert messages to selected contacts. For more information, see our Fall Alert Caregiver Handout.
Self Check FAQs
Loud environments are more difficult to get this measurement. A nice quiet area works best. The Self Check baseline should be established on a hard surface at 60 dBSPL or below; the Self Check diagnostic is best performed on a hard surface at levels below 85 dBSPL.
Self Check is available with all technology levels of Evolv AI and Livio family hearing aids.
