New Delhi: James Park and Eric Friedman, who are the co-founders of Fitbit, officially released Luffu, their latest startup that aims to help families manage health, safety, and caregiving in one place. The startup is currently developing the application, and plans to expand into hardware devices. The startup also describes it as an intelligent family care system which brings together shared health information and uses AI in the background to spot changes and support timely action. The startup has opened a waitlist for the limited public beta.

This latest startup has stated that Luffu is derived from lufu, an Old English word meaning love. It is positioned as an intelligent family care system, which is going to use AI in the background to organise health information, understand everyday routines, and flag changes that may need attention. The aim is to surface such signals early, by helping the families stay aligned and respond in time to well-being-related concerns. Privacy is the most essential part of the product, and the users can always control what information is shared and with whom.

Now, let’s understand how this Luffu actually works. Luffu is built for families rather than individuals. This startup mentioned that many health applications focus on personal fitness or signal user tracking, Luffu is designed to support shared care across partners, children, parents, pets and caregivers. The application aims to bring scattered information, such as medical records, medication lists, appointments and notes into one hub. The startup has also stated that the system learns what is normal for a family over time and then flags changes that may need attention, instead of relying on constant manual checking.
