Dear WHOOP Team,
I am writing this email to express my deepest, most sincere gratitude to your team and the technology you have built. On August 1st, my WHOOP band played a direct role in saving my life.
I have a history of a serious heart condition dating back to April, so monitoring my vitals closely is critical for me. I subscribed to WHOOP Peak back in June, and I am on track to unlock my Life Subscription within the next month. That decision turned out to be life-saving.
On the morning of August 1st, I experienced a sudden, severe episode of Superventricular Tachycardia (SVT) with my pulse spiking over 200 BPM.
During the emergency, we tried measuring my vitals using standard home Blood Pressure monitors, but every machine repeatedly returned an error code—they simply could not read or compute a heart rate that high.
It was my WHOOP band that accurately tracked and alerted me to the extreme pulse spike of 205+ BPM in real time. Because WHOOP successfully captured this critical data when other devices failed, I was able to recognize the immediate danger and reach the hospital emergency room in time, where doctors administered two 200-Joule DC shocks to stabilize my heart rhythm.
As a result of this incident, my cardiologists have scheduled an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) chip placement to protect my heart moving forward.
Without WHOOP’s continuous, precise monitoring during those crucial minutes, the outcome could have been drastically different. You don’t just build fitness trackers; you build life-saving technology. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and from my family, for making a device that truly made the difference when every second counted.
With profound gratitude,
Parth Sharma
