After taking a small break from Fitbit and Google, I’m starting something new and very personal.
As a co-founder of Fitbit, I thought I understood health tech. Caring for my parents from afar changed that perception.Trying to help manage their care was frustrating. Their data was all across portals, apps attachments, texts, and paper. I was constantly surprised at changes in their condition, unexpected dr visits, or other events. I looked for tools to help.
And I realized health tech for the family has a long way to go. This experience is a big reason that I, along with my Fitbit co-founder, Eric, are announcing Luffu (“loo-foo”) @weluffu
We’re building something I want for my family and your family. Software now and hardware in the future, weaved together in an intelligent family care system that gives families peace of mind. Join our waitlist: luffu.com
Haha, I love horror movies and would do this for free
A finance company will pay an individual $1,300 to watch 13 scary movies in October while monitoring their heart rate using Fitbit cnn.it/39hs2RI

I've been following the climate tech space for a while. Here are 3 reasons why Joro (for brevity!):
Fitbit Sense receives both FDA and European clearance for ECG. Great job by the @fitbit team to get both clearances simultaneously businesswire.com/news/home/2…

“Fitbit wearables can detect nearly 50% of COVID-19 cases one day before participants report the onset of symptoms...’If we can let people know they should get tested a day before symptoms begin, they can isolate and seek care sooner, helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19.’”
Early data from Fitbit study indicates it can predict COVID-19 before symptoms show mobihealthnews.com/news/earl… #DigitalHealth
There is much to do in the fight against racism and injustice. To give our employees time and space to help drive positive change, @fitbit is making Juneteenth an official company holiday
