James Park and Eric Friedman, the co-founders of Fitbit, have launched Luffu Link, a screenless wearable designed for family health and safety rather than fitness tracking.

It allows users to share location and send check-ins to family members without needing a phone nearby. The band tracks activity, sleep, and heart rate, while recording symptoms and medications via voice. Battery life lasts up to five days. The device is part of a broader ecosystem that includes an AI-powered app and a future home device for coordinating care across households.

Fitbit founders launch Luffu AI to ease family caregiving

Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman unveiled Luffu, an AI-powered “intelligent family care system” that ties together health data from apps, portals and devices, learns routines, and flags meaningful changes across family members (and pets). Users can log information via voice, text or photos and ask plain-language questions, with privacy controls and configurable Guardian access to share data. The private-testing startup, about 40 employees, aims to ease the caregiving burden for roughly 63 million U.S. adults and plans to expand into hardware later.
