A new wearable tracker is entering the market, designed to monitor a person’s physical and mental health.
The screen-free, wireless, AI-powered wristband is tailored to family caregivers who sometimes live far away.
Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman launched Luffu Link on Tuesday, priced at $300 ($250 for preorders). Expected to ship in 2027, the bracelet-like device:
- Operates without a phone and has built-in GPS.
- Has a button that wearers can press to send voice messages when a phone isn’t available. The user can double-press to send location and health data to contacts during emergencies.
- Also tracks sleep, resting heart rate, calories burned, breathing rate, and more.
Voice recordings about symptoms or medications can be sent to Luffu’s AI-powered system, helping it identify changes in vital signs.
Park told TechCrunch the device aims to ease the burden on caregivers, who, according to research, spend over 27 hours a week supporting their loved ones.
Luffu Link also has plans to expand into home devices.
