Four years after the launch of Whoop 4.0Whoop has announced two new health trackersTHE Whoop 5.0 and the Whoop MG.
While Whoop is mainly considered as a health tracker used by professional athletes and fitness lovers, the launch of new laptops is aimed at a more general and concerned about health to pay a high price for advanced health technologies.

The new health groups follow your sleep, your activity and your recovery as the rest of the health trackers on the market. However, the bands also offer new innovative features, such as a blood pressure monitor which provides data directly from your wrist, an ECG monitor which detects atrial fibrillation and the reports evaluated by clinicians for blood tests and the monitoring of vital signs.
It seems that Whoop has chosen his favorite features of other intelligent portable devices, such as Apple Watch,, With,, OuraAnd Samsung GalaxyTo create its latest programming.
The features differ on the basis of the band, the 5.0 supporting more activity and more general health activity and the MG, which means medical grade, in support of characteristics such as ECG and blood pressure monitoring.
The most interesting feature of this launch is Advanced Labs, which allows users to plan blood tests and interact with a clinician for reports and recommendations using the data collected via the device. Advanced Labs has an additional cost and is not available at launch.
Those interested in trying the functionality when launching will be added to a waiting list. The functionality is similar to the cardio control function of Withings, which allows members to connect with a doctor who assesses their heart health data and returns a personalized report.
The current blood pressure monitoring characteristic is similar to other health trackers with this functionality. Using a traditional arm pressure monitor, the Whoop calibrates the data with the band three times. Then he begins to monitor the systolic and diastolic beaches of your wrist, without brassard required.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 has the same capacity and stalling requirement, while Huawei’s Watch 3 Includes an ambulatory blood pressure monitor, without necessary calibration.
Whoop has also introduced Healthspan, a functionality developed with the research of the Buck Institute on the CEO of aging, which assesses your global health through nine biometrics to quantify your physiological age.
Healthspan will tell users if their physiological age is lower, higher or in rhythm with their real age for a holistic image of their health and their habits. Oura has this functionality in the form of cardiovascular age, and I like to check whether my habits help or harm my longevity.

The heart screening function adds ECG surveillance to Whoop MG. This characteristic can detect high or low heart rate frequencies and atrial fibrillation, a condition often not detected. Users can provide this data collected to their doctor for the diagnosis and maintenance of conditions. Other health trackers, such as Apple Watch, Google Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, already have this functionality.
The newly added health characteristics reflect a growing change in fitness trackers as they become health companions. Oura has recently launched a continuous integration of glucose monitor for users who wish to follow their glucose and other biometrics in a single application. Meanwhile, Withings launched its cardio control service to connect people quickly and directly to a clinician.
Other improvements include a battery life of more than 14 days, a smaller and more elegant construction, updates to the sleep tracking for a more precise image of bedtime quality, a processor ten times more efficient and an improved data capture.

Whoop offers three subscription levels: one, a peak and a life. One is the most affordable and the least rich in functionality. The level offers the monitoring of sleep, tension and recovery, and has monitoring of the maximum V02 and heart rate area, alongside hormonal health.
The peak is an intermediate level option with all the aforementioned features, the new Healthspan and the rhythm of the WHOOP aging function, a health monitor and stress monitoring functionality.
The level of lifespan is the most expensive level, adding blood pressure monitoring and ECG, and advanced health sensor technology, which is why it is delivered with the Whoop MG band, unlike The One and Peak Thirds, which come with the WHOOP 5.0 group.
The brand of the health band has always been more expensive and the last launch is no different. The WHOOP One subscription level costs $ 199 per year, Whoop Peak costs $ 239 per year and Whoop Life costs $ 359 per year.
