What are hubs, and how SeniorThrive is organized

SeniorThrive is built around seven hubs, each one for a different part of your life. Here is what that means, why the app is shaped this way, and how the hubs differ if you are a family member.

Written by Brian Fluhr

SeniorThrive is a big app. Medication tracking, Room Checks, daily check-ins, messages, games, emergency information, and more, all in one place. To keep it calm and simple, we organized everything into hubs, one for each part of your life.

You will see the hubs as icons on your sidebar or bottom rail. Each one opens into a clear, focused space.

The seven hubs

  • My Day. Your daily anchor, where you land when you open SeniorThrive: your daily check-in, Today, and five doors to the other hubs.

  • My Plan. Your guide to living well at home, one step at a time: your goal, your next step, and what you have done so far.

  • My Health. Your medicines, how you feel, doctor visit notes, emergency preparedness, your readings, your goals, and optional checks.

  • My Home. My Home, Step by Step, Room Safety Check, your to-dos, local help, and your papers.

  • Family & Friends. Your Circle, the shared Tasks list, video calls, companion chat, shared photos, and a Planning ahead section. Family messages are in the top bar.

  • Activities. Brain games, hobbies, fitness videos, Active Living, books, art museums, and your garden. The things you do for the pleasure of doing them.

  • Daily Life. Your calendar, Things I Need, meals and recipes, rides, pets, and the practical business of an ordinary day.

If you are a family member, your hubs are different

Family members see a sidebar built for helping rather than living: Today, Your loved one's Plan, Health, Home, Family Hub, Connect, and Helping [your loved one's name]. Above them sits a Here for line with your loved one's name, so you always know whose circle you are looking at, and can switch if you are in more than one.

Inside each hub are spokes

Tap a hub, and you will see what we call spokes. A spoke is a single tool with a single job. My Medicines is a spoke inside My Health. Room Safety Check is a spoke inside My Home. My Circle is a spoke inside Family & Friends.

Whatever tool you are looking for, you can find it by hub, and then by spoke.

Why it is shaped this way

Most apps are a pile of features. We wanted SeniorThrive to feel more like a well-organized home: each room with a purpose, everything findable, nothing stuffed where it does not belong.

When you open My Day, you are home. When you need to do something specific, you go to the right hub, find the right spoke, and do it.

You do not have to learn anything new. You just have to know what part of life you are in.
