This new screenless wearable helps families monitor the health of older adults

Fitbit has unveiled a new wearable device, the Luffu Link, aimed at assisting older adults and their families in monitoring health and safety. The device, launched on August 25, 2026, is LTE-enabled and designed to track various health metrics including activity, sleep, heart rate, and breathing rate. It also includes a voice recording feature to log reminders for meals and medications.

Luffu Link can be used to locate family caregivers and send help requests without requiring a phone. The device comes in three colors: halo gold, onyx black, and sterling blue, and is expected to be available for pre-order at a discounted price of $250, with a retail price of around $300. Luffu Link is part of a larger family care ecosystem from the company, which includes an AI-powered health-monitoring app and a smart home device.

The device's minimalist design, devoid of screens, aims to function as a quiet guardian in the background, providing personalized insights and alerts.
