First, to protect your privacy, no user data has been transferred to Marvin. This means that, if you haven’t already, you’ll need to download a new version of the Heroes Health application launched by Marvin from Google Play or the App Store.

Second, all Heroes Health users will continue to receive free mental health surveys and mental health symptom reports.

Third, if your employer has renewed their Heroes Health partnership through Marvin, you’ll continue to receive free personalized outreach if you report substantial mental health symptoms.
