A new platform called Luffu recently launched, aimed at helping families monitor their health and happiness. The new, innovative app takes a proactive approach to track and detect significant changes, as well as surface timely insights and alerts—all designed for family caregivers’ unique needs. As the number of caregivers in the U.S. continues to rise, Luffu aims to lighten the mental burden associated with caregiving.
Luffu helps you track not only your health statistics but that of your whole family. Through the app, the patient continuously tracks information including diet, medications, symptoms, lab tests, and doctor visits. This helps caregivers stay in the loop and on the ball. Almost 63 million Americans, or one in four adults, are family caregivers. Unfortunately, this number has skyrocketed, increasing 45% in the last 10 years alone, underscoring the vital need that Luffu meets.
Luffu’s artificial intelligence then helps them pull relevant facts and organize their family history without interrupting the fun and learning. This technology helps families stay aligned and identify potential wellbeing issues before they escalate. James Park and Eric Friedman, the co-founders of Luffu, wanted to make it clear what the platform was designed for.
“We designed Luffu to capture the details as life happens, keep family members updated and surface what matters at the right time—so caregiving feels more coordinated and less chaotic,” – Eric Friedman
