Most of us do not need a drill sergeant. We need a friendly voice that says, "Hey, I noticed you have not done your check-in yet," and then leaves us alone.
That is what SeniorThrive reminders are. A small nudge, on your schedule, in the way you prefer.
What SeniorThrive can remind you about
Medications. Each medicine in your Medicine Tracker can have its own reminder. Morning pills at eight. Evening pills after dinner.
Your Daily Check-In. A quiet nudge once a day, at whatever time works best for you.
Appointments. Events from your calendar, whether you added them in SeniorThrive or pulled them in from Google Calendar.
Safety tasks. Suggestions from a Room Check, if you want a reminder to pick one up on Saturday morning.
You decide what gets a reminder. Nothing is required.
Setting up a reminder
Most reminders are set on the thing itself, not in a separate settings page. That way they live where they make sense.
For a medication. Open the Medicine Tracker, tap the medication, flip on the reminder toggle, and pick the time. You can snooze a reminder when you need a few more minutes.
For your Daily Check-In. Tap your name in the top corner, open Settings / Preferences, and choose the Notifications tab.
For an appointment. When you add an event to your SeniorThrive calendar, you will see a reminder option right below the time. Pick fifteen minutes before, an hour before, or a day before, whatever helps.
How reminders arrive
On the day of the reminder, you will see it at the top of My Day, and a small notification will appear in the app.
If you have added SeniorThrive to your home screen (you can, see the tech guide for how), the reminder also shows up as a gentle notification on your phone.
What if you miss one
Nothing bad happens. Really.
A missed reminder does not hurt your ThriveScore, and there is no alarm.
Medications work a little differently, because they matter most. If a dose stays unmarked, SeniorThrive can gently repeat the reminder, and after a delay you control, it can let someone you have chosen in your Circle know so they can check in. You pick who hears about it, you pick the timing, and you can turn it off any time in your medication settings.
Turning reminders off
Open the thing the reminder is set on and flip the toggle off. Or open Settings / Preferences from your name in the top corner and use the Notifications tab to change them as a group.
Your day, your rules.
