Cost and Services
While access to Advanced Labs is now free, the health screenings themselves are not. These tests, conducted by Quest Diagnostics, begin at approximately $150 per test. The screenings offer data on a user's cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory health.
Whoop has also expanded its Advanced Labs portfolio by including the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test.
Market Context
This change by Whoop occurs in an increasingly competitive market for screenless fitness trackers. New entrants from companies like Garmin and Google Fitbit have intensified competition. Whoop's decision to broaden access to its health insights may be a strategy to maintain customer engagement amidst this growing competition.
