Am I whoop?
A lot of people ask me what I've been using to self quantify. You're gonna dig this one. Will Ahmed of whoop. Here we go.
Our mission at WHOOP is to improve human performance and health span. We really want to help individuals live longer and better. We develop wearable technology that continuously measures a lot of physiological information about your body and then pairs with an app that gives you 24. 7 coaching on that data. We're building out the ability to ingest all of these different forms of health data. So you're gonna be able to upload all of your past blood tests into whoop. And then on a go forwards basis, you're gonna be able to take blood tests. If you ask questions about why you might not be sleeping well or why you have headaches in the afternoon or, you know, why your energy levels feel low or, you know, fill in the blank question, the answer will now be through the lens of all of.
