The WHOOP di erence Boasting distraction-free designs, auto-detected workouts, and actionable insights, WHOOP devices are built to provide the clearest picture of your health, without getting in the way of your lifestyle. Unlike other wearables, WHOOP bands let you customise what you track from more than 140 behaviours – from hydration and meditation, to medication, and reveal how those choices affect your health. WHOOP devices can also act like a personal coach, offering weekly plans and personalised recommendations to improve sleep, recovery, and strain.

What is Healthspan and pace of ageing?

If there’s one feature that sets the WHOOP Life band apart, it’s Healthspan. # Lifespan refers to how many years you live, but Healthspan is about how many of those years you spend in good health and free from chronic conditions. Think of it as the difference between just living long and actually living well. WHOOP Life uses your data to estimate two key things:

WHOOP Age and Pace of Ageing. The former is your ‘physiological age’ – basically, how old your body acts compared to your actual age, while Pace of Ageing tells you whether your current habits are slowing ageing down or speeding it up. Here’s the kicker: these aren’t vague scores. They’re based on nine science-backed metrics like sleep quality, daily

movement, strength training, resting heart rate, and VO 2 Max. The companion app then gives you weekly coaching on how to improve where needed. Imagine discovering that your evening walks are literally slowing your ageing process, or that adding a bit of strength training could help keep you mobile and strong for decades to come. That’s what Healthspan is all about.

# Healthspan is not available for users under the age of 18. This feature is for wellness purposes only and not for medical use.
