Luffu’s New Health and Safety Wearable Isn’t Just for You. It’s for Your Entire Family
You can link your entire family together with Luffu’s new wearable and app ecosystem.
Luffu, the AI-powered health and safety system co-founded by Fitbit's James Park and Eric Friedman, has unveiled its latest wearable, the Luffu Link, aimed not just at individuals but the entire family. Initially launched as a family health and wellness app in February, the Luffu Link, a screenless wearable, is now available for preorder in the US for those aged 13 and above.
The Luffu Link operates over 4G LTE, enabling users to reach out to contacts for help or use features like voice logging of medications, meals, mood, symptoms, reminders and notes, even without a phone nearby. Equipped with built-in GPS, it allows users to share their location or send a check-in to family members.
The device captures data on sleep, activity, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, calories burned and breathing rate, using AI to analyze patterns and alert users to any changes. Health information logged is organized by AI and integrated into the family's Luffu app, where pet medications, meals, and vet visits can also be tracked.
Families decide what information gets shared and with whom. The Luffu app, currently in public beta, is planned for broader US availability later this year. Preorders for the Link, priced at $250, include a quick charger and silicone bands in halo gold, sterling blue, or onyx black. Expected to start shipping in early 2027 at a price of $300, the device is water-resistant up to 50 meters, has up to five days of battery life, a one-hour charge time, and a one-year limited warranty.
It's compatible with Android 14 or later and iOS 18 or later, and LTE data service is included without a separate carrier plan. However, a family plan is required, available for $20 per month or $200 per year for up to four people, and $30 per month for an extended family plan covering up to eight people.
Luffu is also working on an intelligent home device to coordinate care across generations and households. Despite some confusion that Luffu Link is for aging adults, the co-founders emphasize its intended use across the entire family, aiming to give everyone a single place to track health and safety.
