A tour of your dashboard: for a family member

What you see when you open your family dashboard, top to bottom: the six places in your sidebar, and what your loved one shares with you by default.

Written by Brian Fluhr

Your family dashboard is built around one question: Is my loved one doing okay today, and is there anything I can help with?

Here is what you see when you open it, top to bottom.

1. The greeting, and who you are here for

At the top of the page, a short greeting with today's date.

At the top of the sidebar, you will see Here for and your loved one's name. That line tells you whose Circle you are looking at. If you are in more than one Circle (for example, you help both a parent and an aunt), tap that name to switch between them, and the whole dashboard follows.

2. Your loved one's ThriveScore, at a glance

A small card showing how they are thriving this week, using the parts of their score they have chosen to share with you. If they have not shared their ThriveScore, you will see a quiet note, not a number.

3. Engagement Awareness

This is new territory, and worth a minute of your time. The awareness panel shows patterns: when your loved one last checked in, which tools they have been using, whether a streak has broken or resumed.

It is not surveillance. It is context. The goal is to help you know when to reach out, and when to let them be.

4. Suggest to your loved one

A panel where you can nudge something gently. "Here is an exercise video you might like." "Here is a recipe for Sunday dinner." The suggestion lands softly on their dashboard, no alarms, no guilt trip. They pick it up if they want to.

5. Your Circle messages

The private family message space. Everyone in the Circle, including your loved one, your siblings, and any caregiver who has been added, can see messages here. Send a photo, a short hello, a question about the grocery list.

6. Shared health and home information

What you see in this section depends on what your loved one has chosen to share with you. Medications, vitals, recent Room Check findings, upcoming appointments.

Almost nothing reaches you without their say-so. The exceptions are deliberate and small: emergency information and home-safety items like Room Checks are shared with the Circle by default, because they are the things that matter when something goes wrong. Your loved one can see exactly what is shared, and change it, at any time.

7. Your sidebar

On the left (or bottom, on a phone), under the Here for line, you will see six places:

  • Today. How your loved one is doing right now: their check-in, what is on the day, and anything waiting on you.

  • Health. What they have chosen to share: daily wellness, medicines, symptoms, documents.

  • Home. Room Checks, safety to-dos, emergency preparedness, and finding local help.

  • Family Hub. Guides for the thinking and talking side of caring for a parent.

  • Connect. Messages, video calls, your Circle, and conversation starters.

  • Caregiving. The day-to-day tools for when staying in touch is no longer enough: the Care Plan, visit notes, tasks, supplies, and support for you.

The labels are deliberately short. Your loved one's name is said once, at the top, rather than repeated on every line.

8. Avery

Same chat bubble as your loved one has, with the same helpful assistant. Ask Avery anything about how the app works, or how to have a hard conversation. Avery has scripts for that too.

9. Siblings in the same Circle

If your siblings are also in the Circle, they see the same layout you do. What fills it may differ: your loved one sets sharing per person, so a sibling may see more or less than you.

That is worth knowing before you assume everyone got the same message. If something matters, say it in the Circle rather than expecting the dashboard to have told them.

The dashboard is built so you can open it in 60 seconds, know your loved one is doing well, and close it. Or stay a while and help with something specific. Either is the right amount.
