Summary

In this episode, we discuss groundbreaking research around pregnancy that could pave the way in improving the lives and health outcomes of premature infants worldwide New research from WHOOP has uncovered a first-of-its-kind digital biomarker that can be a potential indicator of preterm delivery, all by using HRV patterns. VP of Data Science and Research Emily Capodilupo joins the show to discuss what we found in our pregnancy data (3:55), how she looked at her own data as a pregnant member (...

This week, we've got one of our most exciting episodes ever. As many of you have heard me talk

0:09.2

about, research is core to everything that we do at Woop. And with that in mind, we are revealing

0:15.8

some incredible new research around pregnancy. We've identified heart rate variability and resting heart

0:23.4

rate trends over the course of pregnancy that can potentially see whether a woman is going to

0:29.1

deliver on her given due date or potentially deliver prematurely. And that's a really big deal.

0:35.1

This is a novel finding. And to share more about this pivotal work,

0:39.8

I'm joined by Emily Capitouloupo, our senior vice president of data science and research,

0:45.0

and our chief medical officer, Dr. Pat Carroll. We're going to dive into how women have been

0:52.1

historically underrepresented in performance research,

0:56.0

the power of wearables and non-invasive data collection, the importance of HRV during

1:01.9

pregnancy, and literally the findings from our 1,200 plus pregnant member study, including

1:08.5

how HRV and resting heart rate can be a sign of preterm delivery.

1:15.7

That's right.

1:16.2

We see a profound inflection seven weeks before delivery.

1:21.6

This is fascinating.

1:23.2

First finding of its kind, and we go deep on it.

1:26.5

We also discuss how this research can help mothers,

1:28.9

babies, and the medical community at large. So how can you make it actionable? And how the research

1:33.9

and performance industries can better serve women. Very excited about this podcast, and we get into it

1:40.9

in a second. But first, I'm excited to share a couple of big announcements.

1:44.5

We recently released our new blue light glasses.

1:48.4

That's right.
