Fitness wearable company Whoop announced it will introduce in-app access to on-demand licensed clinician video consultations for U.S. users, alongside electronic health records integration through a partnership with HealthEx and AI-powered health guidance. The features launch globally this summer, with video consultations at an additional cost. Whoop, which has over 2.5 million users, closed a $575 million funding round in March at a $10.1 billion valuation. The announcement comes less than a year after the FDA sent Whoop a warning letter over its Blood Pressure Insights feature, though new FDA guidance now allows optical sensing blood pressure measurements in wellness devices without medical-grade claims.
