GoKawiilWearables like fitness trackers and smart rings traditionally focus on collecting health data at the individual level, but the AI-powered intelligent family care system Luffu is expanding that scope.
Launched by Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman in February, Luffu started out as an app where family members could log health information, including medications, diet, doctors’ appointments, vaccine records, symptoms and more. It’s currently in public beta.
Luffu announced on Tuesday that it now has its own screenless wearable, the Luffu Link, and it’s available for preorder in the US for people age 13 and up.
How Luffu links the entire family together
A press release described the Luffu Link as a health and safety band that operates over 4G LTE, meaning you don’t need to have your phone nearby to reach out to your contacts for help or use certain features, like voice logging for medications, meals, mood, symptoms, reminders and notes. It also has built-in GPS, so you can share your location or send a check-in to family members.
When it comes to your personal health, Luffu Link can capture data around sleep, activity, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, calories burned and breathing rate. AI then uses this information to learn patterns and alert users to any changes.

The band features a single button. When you press and hold the button, it allows for voice logging. Press twice to send a check-in to select family members. Any health information you log is organized by AI and then added to the family’s Luffu app, where you can also create a profile for your pet to log their medications, meals and vet visits.
According to the press release, families decide what information gets shared and with whom.
