GoKawiilWhoop, maker of the screenless Whoop 5.0 fitness-tracking wristband, announced on Friday that it’s expanding its member experience by connecting your health data to the real world. Soon, all Whoop memberships will include AI-focused features and a slew of other updates, including one that connects you to on-demand doctors.
Whoop’s screen-free band collects data such as your sleep, daily physical activity, recovery, stress and overall health. Now, the company is expanding its membership experience by connecting your personalized insights with more actionable features.
Whoop will connect you to real-life doctors
Starting this summer, clinician access will be available to US members on the Whoop app and will include live, on-demand video consultations with licensed doctors. They will have access to the member’s health data collected by their Whoop device, along with their medical history and any available bloodwork results.
HealthEx, a digital database that securely gathers health records in one place, is also partnering with Whoop to serve as a hub for syncing all your electronic health records. With the new third-party partnership expected to hold medical records, it’s unclear what steps Whoop plans to take to ensure that customer privacy remains confidential. However, HealthEx states that members can edit or revoke access at any time.
How Whoop AI works
New AI features meant to further personalize the membership experience include My Memory and Proactive Check-Ins. My Memory is designed to serve as a space where members can adjust their goals and information that may affect their daily lives, allowing Whoop’s AI insights and coaching to adjust according to life circumstances, such as welcoming a new child.
Proactive Check-Ins serve as a guide to recommend adjustments to your sleep or training plan based on upcoming events. For instance, if you’ll be traveling.
Additional Whoop updates
Other updates you can expect include workout auto-detection mode and a Strength Trainer feature that tracks your personal bests. Plus, a more accurate heart rate tracker for both workouts and daily activity.
