0:00.0	Hello, folks. Welcome to the WOOP podcast. I'm your host Will Ahmed, the founder and CEO of WOOP,
0:07.5	and we are on a mission to unlock human performance. At Woop, we build technology across hardware
0:13.9	and software and analytics that's designed to understand your body. And this podcast is really an
0:19.6	opportunity for me to interview individuals
0:22.6	who are high performing, professional athletes, coaches, trainers, high performing executives,
0:29.6	you name it. And this is a special week because we just got third party validation,
0:36.2	the University of Arizona. We are now published in the
0:39.8	Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. And it shows that WOOP is the most accurate, non-invasive sleep
0:48.1	monitor on the market. Pretty excited about that. You know, we founded Woop in 2012. We always
0:54.1	knew that accuracy was going to be pretty
0:56.0	core to what we were trying to deliver. And this validation for us is proof that it was worth
1:03.8	investing all that time and capital and energy to make our product more accurate than other
1:09.1	products. We gave up a lot in order to be more
1:11.8	accurate. And so this episode between Kristen Holmes and Emily Capitalupo, they're going to talk
1:17.4	about what a major milestone this was for us at Woop, and they're going to talk in great detail
1:21.9	about the study conducted by the University of Arizona. Effectively researchers tested the whoop accuracy against the gold standard in sleep tracking.
1:31.3	That's a test known as polysumography and found that whoop was excellent by comparison.
1:38.3	It also found that whoop can actually improve sleep habits.
1:42.3	So for those of you interested in your sleep or about sleep validation in general,
1:46.7	I think you're going to get a lot out of this podcast.
1:50.3	Kristen and Emily certainly deserve a lot of credit.
1:52.9	They've poured years of time and energy and hard work into this research.
