Whoop introduces on-demand clinician access for U.S. users through its fitness app

May 8, 2026

AI Summary

Whoop is launching a feature that allows U.S. users to access licensed clinicians on-demand via its app. This service will complement existing health tracking capabilities and is part of a broader suite of health and AI-driven features aimed at enhancing user experience.

Whoop will offer in-app access to licensed clinicians for users in the U.S. starting this summer.
The new feature will include live video consultations, which will incur an additional cost, while many other features will be included in the membership price.
The consultations will begin with an evaluation of data from the device, along with blood work and medical history when available.
The service is designed to complement existing healthcare, not replace primary care or emergency services.
Whoop has over 2.5 million users globally and recently raised $575 million, bringing its valuation to $10.1 billion.
The update will also include a partnership with HealthEx for tracking health records and AI-powered coaching.
This announcement follows a warning from the FDA regarding Whoop's Blood Pressure Insights feature, which was deemed an unauthorized medical device. New FDA guidance allows certain wellness devices to measure blood pressure without making medical claims.
