Can We Make It Better? Part 4: WHOOP Health & Recovery Screens
Nearly every WHOOP screen can be recreated with Garmin data, including a fun pace-of-aging formula.
Can We Make It Better? is a five-part series where we rebuild the premium features of popular fitness apps using data you already own.
This time we turned our sights on WHOOP. Nearly all of WHOOP's screens are replicable with Garmin data. There are some nuances in how WHOOP calculates Healthspan versus Garmin's Fitness Age, but for the most part it's the same underlying data.
There's also a fun formula in there that calculates your pace of aging based on your last 30 days. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's fun to play with.
The big takeaway
The data and insights that once sat behind a paywall can all be recreated from basic tracking data. No need to pay for something you can build yourself.
The next step? Building your own wearable. Any mechanical engineers out there want to explore it? I'm game.
