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: https://t.co/lMT3xJj0JQ

@mattpaff Sure it would have been great to have the luxury of time to do it perfectly. Challenging when you go from $15M to $300M in revenue in 2 years and a lot of that growth coming in the 2nd year.
@Raadmobrem@inafried@levie Haha wish we were able to use the online version. I think it lacked a lot of features back then. We were using the desktop version and eventually ran into the file size limit and also had to schedule people to login due to the simultaneous user limit.
Wow. A 14 year journey enters a new chapter. So many emotions but thank you to my co-founder Eric, everyone at @fitbit, and all of our users who were on the journey with us https://t.co/xvPdxph4Ol
