Women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves. At CES 2026, our team spotted several devices designed for people who menstruate and experience menopause and perimenopause. More recently, Oura Ring also launched its own AI model created to answer women’s health questions.
Now, the human performance company Whoop, creator of the screenless Whoop 5.0 wristband (CNET’s favorite fitness tracker for performance), announced two new initiatives for women, whose share of the company’s membership has increased 150% year over year. Along with adding an in-app update for Hormonal Symptom Insights and Predictions, Whoop launched a Women's Health Specialized Blood Biomarker Panel.
“What makes this powerful isn’t any single data point -- it’s how the system comes together," Emily Capodilupo, senior vice president of research, algorithms and data at Whoop, said in a press release. “Women don’t experience their physiology in silos. Hormones influence sleep, sleep affects recovery, and recovery shapes training response.”
Exclusive to Whoop wearable users, by bringing together the results from bloodwork and data collected by the wearable (sleep, skin temperature, stress, recovery, heart rate and more), Whoop aims to show not just a snapshot of women’s health but the entire system.
The Hormonal Symptom Insights and Predictions update
Whoop already has Menstrual Cycle Insights and Pregnancy Insights in its app, but the Hormonal Symptom Insights and Predictions update expands on these features.
By using data collected with the wearable, such as skin temperature, resting heart rate and heart rate variability, along with the cycle dates and symptoms you log, this update will show menstruating Whoop members a personalized model of their cycle that will adjust based on their health metrics and patterns over time.
Whoop's new update allows members to see a predicted calendar view of their menstrual cycle. Whoop
Specifically, members will be able to see a date window for their next period, information about symptom patterns to predict when they’re most likely to occur, and trends in period length, cycle length and variability. This is meant to give them the ability to adjust their routines based on what’s forecasted.
This feature will now also work with Whoop’s Advanced Labs blood panel, which tests for 65 biomarkers that a clinician reviews to develop a health improvement plan. By combining bloodwork results and data collected by the wearable, Whoop members can see if their biomarker ranges are “optimal,” “sufficient” or “out of range” based on where they are in their cycle.
