I checked out the “Thrive Care” package and it appears to be inclusive of the “fall detect” feature.
I sent the link with it’s description to my 5 kids (none live in this city with me) and two responses so far were really positive, especially one daughter who worries all the time about me living alone.
I guess I’ll never know for sure how well it works until I try them.
Thank you for the links. I had no interest in these watches as it’s too small for me to work with but I checked the links just to be sure. That confirms that I would have serious problems using the watch for anything other than the “hard” fall program.
Six weeks ago I bought my first cell phone and still haven’t been able to navigate it. I find that I’m always hitting the wrong icon, or when typing, I hit the wrong letters/numbers/symbols.
I can’t imagine how much harder the watch would be.
At this stage in my process it makes more sense to me to buy an aid with no extra expense but I guess I won’t really know if I’m satisfied with it until I actually have them and see how successful it will be.
This is great news and find. Please share your children’s experience once they get connected to the « hear share » app or whatever it is called. I understand with this app your children can see live data recorded by your hearing aid at any time and anywhere. Data like your social engagement (phone calls and streaming) can be very useful as well as a report on your physical activity. Good luck.
I’m not totally sure of what all data it provides but can’t imagine it’s a lot. For me it’s a bonus that they can just look and see that I’m still moving around.
