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.

Announcement

In a press release today, WHOOP announced that it will offer live, on‑demand video consultations with licensed clinicians directly within the WHOOP app. The feature is slated to launch in the United States this summer, giving members the ability to discuss their health data with a medical professional instead of only viewing recovery scores.

Clinician Video Consultations

• Consultations can be informed by months of WHOOP data, as well as bloodwork and medical history when available.
• WHOOP is adding Electronic Health Record syncing via HealthEx, allowing members to import clinical history (diagnoses, medications, procedures) into the app.

Pricing

The press release does not mention the cost of these consultations. WHOOP’s current annual memberships start at $199 and go up to $359 for WHOOP Life. It is unclear whether the on‑demand consultations will be bundled into existing tiers or offered as a separate paid add‑on.

AI Features

Alongside clinician access, WHOOP is rolling out several AI‑driven updates:

My Memory

Members can view, edit, and delete the personal context that WHOOP AI uses for coaching.

Proactive Check‑Ins

The AI uses stored context to surface suggestions at relevant moments (e.g., prioritizing sleep before an event or adjusting training around travel).

Journal Redesign

• Supports voice and text logging for habits, supplements, and life events.
• AI can suggest new items to track based on detected patterns.

Behavior Trends

Shows how logged habits appear to affect Recovery over time.

Fitbit Air Comparison

The Fitbit Air is now priced at $99 and includes three months of Google Health Premium. WHOOP’s new features appear to be a response aimed at providing additional value to its users amid the launch of Google’s screenless fitness tracker.
