What Is Biometric Data Measuring with WHOOP Unite?

WHOOP pairs an activity wearable that monitors sleep, cardiovascular strain and recovery metrics with personalized health and wellness insights. This powerful wearable device and technology platform will not only help us adjust treatment to fit our current patients’ needs but also help us advance our knowledge of substance use disorders.

Together, Ashley and WHOOP Unite are on a mission to transform health care and support healing with biometric data.

Integrating WHOOP into inpatient treatment and extended care at Ashley enables us to give our patients unique insights into their body’s health. This will ultimately help improve their recovery outcomes and identify a new data set that will help us facilitate the development of novel treatment interventions for the entire addiction treatment field.

Why is WHOOP Unite a powerful and innovative opportunity for biometric data collection?

We know that factors like sleep and general physical health are associated with improved recovery outcomes. Our goal for integrating WHOOP Unite into treatment at Ashley is to gain a greater understanding of how biometric data can directly relate to treatment and recovery outcomes and then use these insights to inform clinical treatment planning and interventions.

How will Ashley work with WHOOP Unite?

Activity wearables like WHOOP offer us a new approach to substance use disorder treatment. Ashley will incorporate the WHOOP platform to enhance our biometric data measuring efforts, helping us identify key factors of general health and sleep that contribute to treatment and recovery outcomes. Based on these new findings, Ashley will be able to develop and incorporate more effective general health and sleep hygiene curriculums into our clinical treatment interventions.

What are the benefits of using WHOOP?

Our partnership with WHOOP Unite supports our patients’ recovery journey by tapping into the power of biometric data.

  • With insights from the WHOOP wearable, we equip our patients with a better understanding of their bodies and encourage them to lead meaningful conversations with us while empowering them to respond to their bodies’ needs to support long-term recovery.
  • WHOOP further supports Ashley’s focus on individualized and informed treatment for each patient.
  • We provide activity wearables to our patients at zero additional cost.
  • We receive quantifiable data on how well our patients are recovering.
  • WHOOP Unite can help us monitor health patterns and address habits that negatively influence our patients’ recovery in real-time.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to Ashley’s efforts in innovating treatment services across the industry and advancing the science of addiction medicine by using biometric data.
