What are Healthables?

The latest in hearing technology is the Starkey® Livio AI Healthable™ hearing aid. They are called healthables because they do so much more than help people with their hearing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for hearing aids to improve your health as well. How is it possible that a hearing aid can do that? Keep reading to find out!

What is a Healthable?

A healthable hearing aid, such a Starkey’s® Livio AI, is similar to a smartwatch because it tracks health. However, because the hearing aid goes in the ear, it provides very accurate information because the ear is inside the body. Starkey’s® Livio AI Healthables™ hearing aids can monitor internal brain and body functions by using the Thrive™ Hearing app, which you can view the results using a computer or smartphone.

Can a Healthable hearing aid improve my health?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle includes eating nutritious food and also getting plenty of exercise. The Starkey ® Livio AI Healthable uses a 3D motion sensor like an accelerometer and gyroscope, which detects movement and gestures and gives an incredibly accurate readout of your steps and activity. Also, because this hearing aid can detect motion, it can sense when you fall and can send a message to selected contacts to get help. Using the Starkey® Livio AI Healthable™ can give the wearer the independence they crave, and provide family members peace of mind.

What else can the Starkey® Livio AI Healthable™ do?

This multi-purpose hearing aid can also translate languages and transcribe conversations. For example, if you are attending a seminar and the speaker talks exceptionally fast, you can have your Starkey® Livio AI Healthable™ hearing aid transcribe the conversation, and you can view it on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, so you don’t miss anything important.

Here are the amazing features:

  • Body Tracking

  • Brain Tracking

  • Fall Detection and Alerts

  • Thrive Assistant

  • Translate

  • Transcribe

  • Reminders

  • Hearing Care Anywhere
