Whoop is expanding its health platform with in-app video consultations with licensed clinicians. Doctors will have direct access to users' health data during sessions.

The fitness wearable company is integrating telemedicine capabilities into its mobile app, allowing subscribers to connect with clinicians without leaving the platform. Clinicians conducting video consultations will be able to view users' Whoop data—including heart rate variability, sleep metrics, strain, and recovery information—providing context for personalized health discussions. This move positions Whoop as more than a tracking device, shifting toward a comprehensive health management ecosystem. The feature aligns with growing demand for integrated health services that combine wearable data with professional medical guidance. Whoop has not announced a launch date or pricing details for the consultation service. The company has previously expanded beyond fitness tracking, adding features like injury recovery insights and women's health metrics to attract broader audiences.
