Hi everyone! 👋

Studio intO are running a paid research study about wearables, recovery, sleep, stress, and energy tracking; and we're looking specifically for people who use Fitbit or Pixel Watch, especially alongside devices like Garmin, Oura or Whoop.

The study is about exploring how you track things like energy, sleep, stress - and how that actually influences your day-to-day decisions (or doesn’t!).

If selected, you’d take part in:

• a 75-min remote interview
• a very light pre-task beforehand

Compensation is £110 / $150

• If you know someone else who’d be a great fit, feel free to pass this on too - we’re happy to offer an additional £50 thank-you if they take part

Everything is confidential and purely for research purposes.

If you're interested, please fill in the form.

Happy to answer questions in the comments too!

I decided to customize how I want to make sense of my Whoop data, so I used the API to pull everything into Google Sheets (apps script), then connected it all to a Looker Studio/Data Studio dashboard. Link below. There are 4 pages (Overview, Recovery, Sleep, Strain). A lot of people might feel that they get this data in the app, but the table below summarizes the added value of this dashboard in my opinion. Would love to hear feedback, suggestions, potential improvements.

Comparison between Whoop app features and custom dashboard:

Feature	WHOOP App	My Dashboard
Date range	Fixed presets (7/30/90 days)	Fully custom, any range
HRV trend	Basic chart, no correlation	Overlaid with Recovery Score to show relationship
Sleep stages	Per-night view only	60-day stacked breakdown at a glance
Day of week analysis (my favorite metric)	None	Avg Recovery, HRV, Strain by weekday
Strain vs Recovery	Shown separately	Overlaid on same chart to see potential overreaching
HR zone breakdown	Per workout only	Aggregated across all workouts by activity type
Sleep need vs actual	Basic indicator	Side-by-side trend line showing cumulative gap
Custom thresholds	Fixed WHOOP zones	Reference lines you can define

Its been 21 days and my whoop has only been tracking my HR and strees lvls. Any help?
