TL;DR
- WHOOP is adding on-demand clinician video consultations in its app in the US this summer.
- The company hasn’t said whether clinician access is included in membership pricing or costs extra.
- The updates, which include other AI features, arrive a day after Google launched the Fitbit Air.
With Google launching its Fitbit Air yesterday, WHOOP doesn’t seem ready to give up ground in the screenless fitness tracker space without a fight. The brand just announced a major update to its wearable services, and the timing seems unlikely to be a coincidence.
In a press release today, WHOOP announced that it’s adding live, on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians in the WHOOP app. The feature will launch in the US this summer, giving members a way to talk through their health data with a medical professional rather than just staring at recovery scores and guessing what their body is trying to say.
