WHOOP Overview
WHOOP is a wearable fitness band that tracks sleep, recovery, strain, and overall fitness. Through Wellpipe, you can query your WHOOP data using natural language with AI assistants.
What is WHOOP?
WHOOP is a subscription-based wearable that continuously monitors:
- Sleep - Stages, quality, and consistency
- Recovery - HRV, resting heart rate, and readiness
- Strain - Cardiovascular load from all activities
- Workouts - Heart rate zones, calories, and performance
Unlike smartwatches, WHOOP focuses entirely on health metrics rather than notifications or apps.
