  • •The feature aims to enhance personal connections through health insights.

Whoop has introduced a new feature called 'Humans' in its app, allowing users to share health data with friends and family. This feature enables members to follow each other and react to shared data, including achievements and health metrics like sleep and recovery scores. Unlike the existing 'Teams' feature, which focuses on group competition, 'Humans' is designed for more personal interactions. Users maintain control over their shared information and can opt for privacy settings, including a 'stealth mode' to hide their data temporarily. The company emphasizes that no personal health data will be sold or monetized. The feature is available to all Whoop members at no extra cost, and the company has seen significant growth among older users. The launch is part of Whoop's broader strategy to position itself in the medical wellness space.
