Press one button on a wristband and talk. That is how someone looking after an elderly parent could log a missed pill, a bad night or a doctor’s visit with the Luffu Link, the first product from a new family-health startup run by Fitbit’s cofounders.
The Link has no screen. It looks more like an accessory than a health device, much like Whoop’s bands and Google’s new Fitbit Air. What sets it apart is built-in LTE and GPS, which let it work without a connected phone and share the wearer’s location with trusted family members. The aim is to help families keep track of seniors who might wander into unfamiliar, unsafe places or forget where they are. Anyone of any age can wear it.
Voice notes and a family dashboard
The button switches on a microphone for quick notes on medications, symptoms, meals, mood and doctor visits. A speaker lets the wearer hear voice messages from relatives. Battery life runs up to five days. The band comes in Sterling Blue, Halo Gold or Onyx Black.
It pairs with an AI phone app, now in beta, with a wider US launch planned later this year. The app puts data from several family members on one dashboard, transcribes the voice notes, and flags shifts in sleep, activity and mood over time.
Price and timing
Preorders are open at $249.99. The price rises to $299.99 once units ship in early 2027. The app subscription costs $19 a month and covers up to four family members.
