WHOOP to Bring Clinical Lab Testing from Quest Diagnostics to the WHOOP App

By: via Business Wire

Implementation will enable users to purchase, schedule appointments for testing, and receive results of lab tests performed by Quest within the WHOOP app, supporting access to deeper health and performance insights.

WHOOP, the human performance company, today announced that Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), a leading provider of diagnostic information services, will be the U.S. lab provider for WHOOP Advanced Labs, a new WHOOP feature that provides laboratory insights supporting health and performance. The offering will provide the option to purchase Quest’s clinical laboratory testing, schedule an appointment for testing, and receive test results within the WHOOP app. WHOOP Advanced Labs is scheduled to launch this fall.

WHOOP members will be able to purchase and schedule their Quest lab test for their WHOOP Advanced Labs subscription to analyze biomarkers — including those related to metabolism, hormones, inflammation, cardiovascular health, nutrient status, and more, directly through the WHOOP app. WHOOP currently provides biometric data to help members assess recovery, sleep, and training, and adding lab testing is designed to provide additional insights, including into preventable health concerns, that may be addressed through lifestyle changes. WHOOP members will access the types of clinical testing that physicians order, from Quest Diagnostics, to deliver patient care.

“At WHOOP, we’re committed to empowering our members with a highly comprehensive view into their health and performance,” said John Sullivan, Chief Marketing Officer at WHOOP. “By bringing Quest’s lab testing into the WHOOP experience, we’re taking a pivotal step forward in helping people access and act on the power of blood testing to reveal insights into health, so they can live and perform closer to their potential for longer.”

“Health-minded consumers want insights from lab testing beyond the annual checkup,” said Richard Adams, SVP, Quest Consumer. “Our collaboration with WHOOP is an example of how Quest is broadening access to deep health and wellness insights.”

To support consumer access, Quest has created a unique platform to be the lab engine inside consumer health experiences, whether that be through a wearable device, mobile app, or website.

Quest operates approximately 2,000 patient service centers across the U.S. and also provides mobile phlebotomy access. A third-party provider will review the WHOOP member’s request, order the test, provide the test results through the WHOOP app, and, on request, provide a phone consultation. Members can join the waitlist today at whoop.com/waitlist.
