Starting this summer, Whoop users in the US will have access to on-demand video consultations with licensed physicians within the fitness tracker app. Additionally, the wearables company also announced on Friday that it is adding support for electronic health record (EHR) syncing, allowing members and the physicians they connect with to easily view their medical history.
“Unlike traditional health care experiences that rely on brief, episodic snapshots, these consultations begin with a comprehensive understanding of the member’s health, driven by months of continuous data and, when available, blood tests and medical history,” Whoop said in a press release. How much this service will cost has not been revealed yet.
Whoop also announced new AI features coming to the app: My Memory, where users can customize the “personal context” that goes into their coaching, and Proactive Check-In, which will provide users with training and recovery recommendations based on what’s going on in their lives. The announcement comes just after Google unveiled its new Fitbit Air, which, like Whoop’s device, is a screenless fitness wearable.
