Big news: the FDA has formally closed its warning letter on WHOOP Blood Pressure Insights. We stood by the science and the belief that safe, transparent wellness insights can help people better understand their health.
As background we launched Blood Pressure Insights last year as a first-of-its-kind feature to give members daily BP estimates and explain how BP affects their wellness. The FDA sent us a warning letter claiming that Blood Pressure can only be used for medical diagnosis. This of course contradicts what medical research says about Blood Pressure in the context of sleep, stress, exercise etc. WHOOP fought for our position and the FDA has ultimately updated their guidelines to now include Blood Pressure as a wellness metric.
This is a win for WHOOP and consumers. Proud of our team. Thank you to the FDA. Onwards.

The South African Reserve Bank plans to phase out the long-standing prime lending rate used by banks to price many loans, and instead anchor lending to its main policy rate. The move aims to clarify how official interest rate decisions affect borrowing costs. Talks with lenders and other stakeholders could begin as early as 2027. The bank is also preparing to introduce a new short-term reference rate as part of broader financial system reforms. Optimum Investment Group Economic Advisor Dr. Roelof Botha unpacks this further.
