I’ve had my WHOOP for almost 3 years and I’ve noticed that every single time I am sick I have an elevated HRV this then leads to a boosted readiness score that’s fake and I believe that it represents a minor flaw in the current algorithm and would love some feedback from the team. Other than that, love my whoop huge whoop supporter love the team love everything just think this is something they should know about
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback—and for being such a loyal WHOOP supporter over the past three years. We’re really glad to hear how much you enjoy using WHOOP, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your observations.
You’re absolutely right that HRV can sometimes spike when you’re not feeling well, especially if it jumps significantly outside of your normal range. While this isn’t always the case, it is something we’re aware of and continue to evaluate as we refine our algorithms. Your experience highlights a valuable edge case that we’re actively thinking about as we work to make our insights even more accurate and personalized.
We’ve shared your feedback with our team, and we really appreciate you flagging it. If you ever have additional thoughts or experiences you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
