Whoop Unveils Advanced Wearables With Medical Features

Whoop has launched the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG, its first major hardware update in nearly four years, featuring a sleeker design and a 7% reduction in size. Both wearables offer up to 14 days of battery life, advanced health features such as blood pressure monitoring, FDA-cleared ECG, and new metrics like Healthspan and Pace of Aging for wellness and longevity. Whoop MG is specifically designed for medical-grade monitoring, enabling users to share ECG data with healthcare providers and receive blood pressure insights. The devices also provide enhanced sleep, activity, and real-time stress tracking, with expanded hormonal insights for women. Whoop has introduced a tiered subscription model and announced Advanced Labs for clinician-reviewed blood testing and recommendations. These updates, powered by on-device edge computing and AI, broaden Whoop's appeal to a wider health-conscious audience beyond athletes.
