Google has launched a special-edition Fitbit Air themed around the Pokémon Sleep game, featuring a 'Sleepy Blue' band with a sleeping Pikachu design. The device is available for preorder at $129 and begins shipping September 15th, timed to Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations that also include a special playing card collection.
The team behind Fitbit has introduced Luffu Link, a screenless wearable band equipped with LTE connectivity for health and safety monitoring. The device is designed as one component of a broader AI-driven system intended to track family members' well-being.
A newly filed class-action lawsuit claims Oura Ring cannot accurately determine sleep stages because it relies on AI inference rather than direct brain-wave measurement, likening its accuracy to a coin flip. The complaint argues Oura is exploiting sleep-deprived consumers by marketing statistical estimates as reliable science. Verge writer Victoria Song notes that no wearable device measures brain activity directly, since all such gadgets rely on motion and physiological proxies interpreted through algorithms.
James Park and Eric Friedman, who co-founded Fitbit, have unveiled their new company Luffu's first product: the Luffu Link, a screenless band priced at $249.99 that tracks health data and doubles as a safety device for families. The LTE- and GPS-enabled band lets wearers log symptoms and moods by voice, share their location, and alert trusted contacts or request help even without a nearby phone. It's available for preorder now and will ship in the US in early 2027 for a retail price of $299.99.
The FDA has granted approval to a wearable sensor capable of monitoring both blood glucose and ketone levels simultaneously, marking the first authorization of its kind. The device is designed to give users continuous, real-time readings without separate testing tools for each metric.
The FDA has authorized the Libre Duo 10 Day Continuous Dual Glucose Ketone Monitoring System for diabetes patients aged 2 and up. It is the first wearable in the U.S. to continuously track ketone levels and the first worldwide to combine continuous ketone and glucose monitoring in one device. Sensors measure both substances every minute in fluid beneath the skin and send readings wirelessly to a paired smartphone.
