Mashable • • business
Key Points:
- Whoop is introducing live on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians for U.S. users starting this summer, leveraging biometric data collected through its wearable to enhance health assessments.
- The company is partnering with HealthEx to enable Electronic Health Record (EHR) syncing, allowing users to access their medical history, including diagnoses and medications, directly within the app.
- These new healthcare features complement Whoop's existing fitness tracking services but will come at an additional cost beyond the standard paid membership, with pricing details yet to be announced.
- Whoop emphasizes that the live consultations are designed to supplement, not replace, primary care or emergency medical visits, offering a more continuous and personalized health monitoring experience.
- Alongside video consultations, Whoop is rolling out AI-powered personalized coaching features such as My Memory for managing AI interactions and Proactive Check-Ins to provide tailored health and fitness recommendations.
