Wearable fitness tracker Whoop announced on Friday it will introduce in-app access to on-demand licensed clinicians for users in the United States.

Whoop 可穿戴健身追踪器周五宣布,将为美国用户提供应用内按需访问持牌临床医生的功能。

The new feature comes alongside a suite of health and artificial intelligence-driven features launching globally that will allow users to connect their continuous biometric data with medical guidance in real time.

新功能伴随着一系列健康和人工智能驱动的功能在全球推出,这些功能将允许用户将其连续的生物识别数据与实时医疗指导联系起来。

Many of the new features are included in the price of membership, though live video consultation for U.S. users will come at an additional cost. Pricing and details will be available when that option launches this summer, according to the company.

许多新功能包含在会员价格内,但美国用户的实时视频咨询将额外收费。公司表示,该选项将于今年夏天推出时,定价和详细信息将会公布。

'Whoop is a membership, and we take that seriously,' said Ed Baker, chief product officer of Whoop, in the press release. 'We're always asking how we can deliver more value to our members, and these upcoming features are some of the most meaningful we've ever built.'

“Whoop 是一种会员制,我们对此非常重视,”Whoop 首席产品官艾德·贝克在新闻稿中表示。“我们一直在思考如何为会员提供更多的价值,而这些即将推出的功能是我们迄今为止打造的最有意义的一些功能。”

a $575 million funding round in March that raised the company's valuation to $10.1 billion, it said.

该公司表示,三月份一笔 5.75 亿美元的融资将其估值提高到了 101 亿美元。

Medical consultations will begin with a comprehensive evaluation of data collected by the device and, when available, blood work and medical history, the company said in its release.

公司表示,医疗咨询将首先对设备收集的数据进行全面评估,并在可能的情况下结合血液检查和病史。

A spokesperson told CNBC the video consultation feature is designed to complement a user's existing care, not replace a primary doctor or emergency service. The company declined to comment on whether the service would be capable of providing users with prescriptions.

CNBC的一位发言人表示,视频咨询功能旨在补充用户的现有护理,而不是取代主治医生或急救服务。该公司拒绝就该服务是否能够为用户提供处方药发表评论。

'As our data and coaching insights have become more advanced and personalized, the next step is giving members access to a comprehensive understanding of their overall health,' Whoop CEO Will Ahmed told CNBC.

“随着我们的数据和教练洞察变得越来越先进和个性化,下一步是让会员能够全面了解他们的整体健康状况,”Whoop首席执行官威尔·艾哈迈德告诉CNBC。

The update also includes a partnership with health records keeper HealthEx. Users will be able to keep track of diagnoses, medications and procedures directly within the Whoop app and receive AI-powered personalized coaching and proactive check-in reminders.
