Luffu is a new health app from the founders of Fitbit that’s built to help families stay on top of everyone’s wellbeing in one
place. It’s designed for people who look after others — whether that’s kids, parents, partners, or even pets — and want an easier way

to track health details without juggling tons of apps and devices.
At its core, Luffu is an intelligent family care system. It gathers health information like meds, diet, symptoms, doctor visits, vitals, and test results
— and keeps it organized so you can see a full picture of your family’s health in one spot.

You can input data using voice, text, photos, or by linking other tools like Fitbit and Apple Health.
Instead of hunting through separate apps or spreadsheets, everything you need lives together in Luffu. That means less stress and fewer missed details when caring for the people you love.
What Luffu Is All About
Luffu helps you track and understand health information for everyone in your care by letting you:

Luffu is built for people who quietly carry health responsibility every day. Not in a dramatic way. Just the everyday stuff that adds up.
The app isn’t trying to replace doctors or give medical advice. It’s more like a shared memory that never gets tired or distracted.
How It Works Day to Day
Luffu keeps things simple on purpose.
You can add health info using voice, typing, or photos. Took a picture of a prescription or lab report. Upload it.
Spoke to a doctor. Say it out loud and save it.
You can connect wearables and health apps. Data from fitness trackers and Apple Health flows in automatically, so you don’t have to manually log everything.
Who Luffu Is Made For
You can ask questions like you would ask a person.
“Did mom take her meds today?”
“How has my child been sleeping this week?”
Key Features
Luffu answers using the data already saved.
You can share access smartly. Each family member or caregiver only sees what they need to see. No oversharing. No confusion.
You can spot patterns early. If something changes over time, sleep drops, meds are skipped, routines shift, the app brings it to your attention.
Smart Alerts and Peace of Mind
Luffu’s tech watches for changes and sends alerts before small issues become big problems. If someone forgets a medication or a pattern shifts, the
app brings it to your attention early. This gives families a bit of peace of mind — especially when life gets busy.
James Park and Eric Friedman built Luffu after years of seeing how hard it can be to manage health for others.
They say the app is meant to lighten the mental load of caregiving, not add more work.
The name “Luffu” comes from an old word for “love,” capturing the idea that caring for family is really about looking out for the
people we care about.
Because health data is personal, Luffu puts users in control. You choose what gets shared and with whom.
The company says it’s built to feel like a guardian, not a surveillance tool — so your family’s information stays secure and private.
Built by Fitbit’s Founders With Real Needs in Mind
Luffu is currently rolling out through a limited public beta that you can join from the official website.
For now, it’s an app experience, but the team plans to expand it with hardware tools later on, possibly sensors or devices that work
with the app.
Most health apps focus on one person. Luffu focuses on relationships.
It understands that health decisions often happen as a group. Families talk, worry, forget, remember, and double-check. Luffu fits into that reality instead of pretending everyone manages health alone.
Privacy and Control
The app also avoids medical jargon. It speaks in normal language because stress and confusion don’t mix well.
No. Luffu does not diagnose or treat anything. It stores and organizes health information so families stay informed and aligned.
Yes. One account can include many family members. Each person can have their own profile with shared or private details.
Why Luffu Feels Different From Other Health Apps
Yes. Luffu can connect with tools like Fitbit and Apple Health, so daily data flows in without manual work.
Users stay in control. You decide who sees what. Access can be changed anytime.
Luffu is rolling out through a public beta. Pricing details are still being shaped as the app grows.
