Fitbit Founders Announce Launch of Luffu App with a Focus on Family Health

Fitbit company founders James Park and Eric Friedman announced the launch of a new mobile app, Luffu. After leaving Google, they focused on developing a solution that shifts the focus from personal to family health.

What is Known

The app uses artificial intelligence, operating in the background—it analyzes, organizes, and monitors health information of family members.

"At Fitbit, we focused on personal health—but after Fitbit, health for me has become more than thoughts about myself," Park notes. The developers primarily aim Luffu at the person responsible for medical tasks in the family—doctor appointments, medication control, and monitoring the well-being of others.

The app is also designed for users who care for both children and elderly parents simultaneously. There is an option to also record the health status of pets. "We care for three generations at once: children at home, parents with schedules, and my 80-year-old father living with diabetes," Friedman notes.

Among the features—a daily Morning Brief summary with the state of each family member. The app allows information to be entered in free form: by voice, text, or photos. Integration with platforms like Apple Health and Fitbit is provided. It is also stated that in the future, the company plans to enter the hardware market.

According to the developers, Luffu is not a classic chatbot but instead functions as a background support system, issuing notifications only in case of changes or unusual indicators.

The company emphasizes that users control which data is transmitted, to whom, and to what extent. Users can also choose whether to allow their data to be used for AI training. Registration is now open for the waiting list for the limited public beta test of Luffu.
