Users of WHOOP wearable devices, including famous athletes such as Virat Kohli and Sania Mirza, use these bracelets. The company has introduced a new feature called Humans, which is available in the WHOOP mobile application.
The Humans feature is a social interaction tool that allows WHOOP users to connect with their friends and family. Through this feature, users can share selected data related to their health and physical fitness, as well as post photos, updates, and other messages. Additionally, they can leave comments and react to content.
Previously, the WHOOP platform had the WHOOP Teams feature, which allowed for the creation of group leaderboards. According to the company, 57 percent of participants used WHOOP Teams. However, the Humans feature offers more direct contact between friends and relatives instead of a group format.
With the WHOOP Humans features, users can exchange health and fitness-related data. This includes recovery scores, daily stress and training stress, as well as sleep performance metrics. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and activity summaries can also be shared.
Within the Moments feature, users can post pictures taken during workouts, events, or daily activities. These images can be linked to health and fitness data. Users have the option to share these moments with their network or keep them private.
The WHOOP Humans feature also includes privacy control tools. Since the data is often sensitive, these settings allow information to be hidden from other users. Separate controls are provided for each health parameter. The company emphasized its data policy, stating that it neither sells nor uses its participants' data for commercial purposes.
