WHOOP announced in 2026 a suite of new health and AI-driven features for its app, including on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians and Electronic Health Record (EHR) syncing. The update positions the fitness wearable company more directly in the clinical health space, arriving shortly after Fitbit launched its Fitbit Air tracker at $99.99 with no subscription requirement.
The in-app video consultation feature will allow clinicians to review months of a user’s biometric data before a session begins. “Unlike traditional healthcare experiences that rely on brief, episodic snapshots, these consultations begin with a comprehensive understanding of the member’s health, powered by months of continuous data and, when available, bloodwork and medical history,” WHOOP said in a release. The feature is expected to roll out in the United States this summer and will carry an additional cost, though WHOOP has not yet disclosed pricing details.
WHOOP is also introducing EHR syncing through a partnership with HealthEx, enabling users to pull medical history, diagnoses, medications, and procedures directly into the app. The company says this integration could help users understand how medications, conditions, or procedures affect recovery and performance, while removing the need for manual tracking.
On the AI side, WHOOP announced several new features. “My Memory” will serve as a centralized hub where users can view, manage, and edit personal context that the WHOOP AI uses to generate coaching suggestions. “Proactive Check-Ins” will automatically deliver personalized recommendations based on user activity and patterns, such as suggesting additional sleep before a major event or adjusting training after travel. The app’s Journal feature has also been redesigned to let users log behaviors, supplements, and lifestyle changes via voice or text, with the system visualizing how those habits affect recovery scores over time.
“We’re always asking how we can deliver more value to our members, and these upcoming features are some of the most meaningful we’ve ever built,” said Ed Baker, Chief Product Officer at WHOOP. The combination of clinical access and continuous biometric data could suggest a shift toward wearables playing a more integrated role in personal healthcare management.
