Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. There’s a new start-up from the founders of Fitbit that is focused on family wellbeing. Luffu is an app being created by James Park and Eric Friedman as an intelligent family care system. It will use AI to watch for changes in behavior and keep track of diet, medications, doctor visits and lab testsand more to provide information to family members and caregivers. The plan is to bring hardware products to market as well. The company says it is designed to be a guardian, not surveillance with the users in control of what is shared. The name? Spelled Luffu… comes from an Old English word for love. One in four adults in the U.S…these days now is in a family caregiving position. You can sign up for the wait list at Luffu.com.
