WHOOP Unveils Whoop 5.0: A Major Upgrade to its Wearable Health Tracker

WHOOP, a leading U.S.-based health tech and wearables brand, has launched two new devices: the Whoop 5.0 and the Whoop MG. These devices boast a comprehensive suite of health features, including blood pressure insights, an ECG-enabled heart screener, hormonal insights, and much more.

“This launch marks the beginning of a new era for WHOOP,” stated the company. “While healthcare systems often react after the fact and lack accessibility, we’re building a health platform that empowers individuals to take control. WHOOP is evolving into the central operating system for health.”

• Extended Battery Life: 14-day battery life, further extended to up to a month with the 30-day wireless charging pack.
• Comprehensive Health Tracking: Tracks recovery, strain, sleep, mental health, and even pregnancy.
• Advanced Health Metrics: Introduces “Whoop Age” and Healthspan features developed in partnership with the Buck Institute.
• Improved Performance: Boasts 60% faster processing speed.
• Premium Accessories: Includes new premium straps.
• Additional Features: Offers stress monitoring, step tracking, and haptic sleep alarms. The device also features an improved sensing and haptic suite, a new steps algorithm.

WHOOP founder and CEO Will Ahmed commented, “We’ve leveraged a decade of learning to build a platform that helps our members perform and live at their peak for longer.”

Further enhancing its capabilities, WHOOP is developing “Advanced Labs,” a feature allowing members to schedule blood tests directly through the app for personalized guidance on cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and immune health.

Three annual membership tiers are available: Whoop One ($199, includes Whoop 5.0), Whoop Peak ($239, includes Whoop 5.0), and Whoop Life ($359, includes Whoop MG). Additional bands and accessories are sold separately.
