When caregivers struggle, everyone feels it. Thryve Labs helps them keep going with privacy-preserving, passive, personalized and predictive products that give caregivers peace of mind. Powered by AI. Over 70 million Americans—due to age, disability, or chronic illness—depend on others for daily support. Most receive help not from professionals, but from 55 million unpaid caregivers: family members, friends, and neighbors who step in to fill the gap. Many of them don’t live nearby. Many are holding down jobs. Many are raising families of their own. They are stretched thin—physically, financially, and emotionally. At the same time, professional care is strained to the breaking point. Today, 7 million people rely on paid long-term care and though that number will increase over 25% by 2030, 72% of long-term care facilities already report critical staffing shortages, and 40% have had to reduce their number of beds. Thryve Labs believes that those who care for others need care and support too. Our solutions help lighten the load on unpaid and professional caregivers alike, because the people who care the most shouldn’t have to go it alone. Thryve Labs offers the first predictive, privacy-preserving and personalized AI with contextual intelligence about individuals and their environments to guide best in class in-home and in-facility wellness and safety - in a cost effective, evidence-based manner Using small interconnected sensors and devices that unobtrusively gather relevant signals, many not observable, communicable or known, Thryves proprietary AI models work 24/7 to make inferences and predictions that track condition, care services, treatments, acute episodes and early risk indicators. On most days, Thryve won’t generate a prompt or alert - but with real-time dashboards and notifications (for facilities) as well as alerts and an always-on Interactive Virtual Advocate (for in-home), Thryve is ready to respond in real time to any atypical or acute event.
