WHOOP is also adding electronic health record syncing through HealthX, allowing members to bring clinical histories, such as diagnoses, medications and procedures, into the app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Any mention of the cost of these consultations is conspicuously missing from the press release. WHOOP says physician access to the app is coming, but hasn&#8217;t said whether it will be included in existing subscription pricing or sold as an extra. WHOOP&#8217;s current annual membership already starts at $199 and increases to $359 for WHOOP Life. It&#8217;s possible that on-demand consulting will be included in one or more membership tiers, but given that it was not raised in the announcement, it seems unlikely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Since it&#8217;s 2026, some AI updates are also worth mentioning. A new My Memory feature will let members view, edit and delete personal context, which WHOOP AI uses for coaching, while Proactive Check-In will use that context to make suggestions at relevant moments, like prioritizing sleep before an event or adjusting training while traveling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>WHOOP&#8217;s Journal is also being redesigned, with voice and text logging for habits, supplements, and life events. WHOOP says its AI can suggest new items to track based on identified patterns, while behavioral trends will show how those logged habits impact recovery over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>The Fitbit Air is now official at $99 with three months of Google Health Premium, so WHOOP&#8217;s latest move is a reassurance to its users that they&#8217;re getting enough bang for their extra buck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_pd e_D\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
