WHOOP's blood test service finally comes to UAE

WHOOP Advanced Labs has launched in the UAE through a partnership with diagnostic provider Unilabs, bringing the wearable maker's signature 65-biomarker blood panel to UAE residents for Dhs 733. According to WHOOP's announcement, the service lets members combine clinical blood test results with their continuous WHOOP wearable data for deeper health insights — though it's essentially a blood test that costs more than some fitness trackers.

What WHOOP Advanced Labs actually offers

WHOOP Advanced Labs enables members to upload blood biomarker results directly into the WHOOP app, where they're combined with recovery, sleep, and strain data. The service provides personalised guidance through the WHOOP Coach to contextualise the meaning of biomarkers alongside daily behaviours.

This isn't revolutionary health tracking — it's connecting two data sources that already existed separately. The 65-biomarker panel tests standard health markers, such as cholesterol, vitamin levels, and hormones. What's new is the integration with WHOOP's app ecosystem and the coaching interpretation.

For context, WHOOP launched Advanced Labs in the United States last year. The UAE launch marks the service's first international expansion.

How to get tested and what it costs

UAE WHOOP members can book the 65-biomarker panel through Unilabs' website or visit any of their centres across the Emirates. The company also offers home collection for convenience.

The Dhs 733 price matches US pricing, which WHOOP describes as 'competitive.' In practice, that's more expensive than standalone health panels from other UAE providers, but includes the WHOOP integration and coaching component.

Once testing is complete, Unilabs provides results that members upload to their WHOOP app. The system then correlates biomarker data with continuous biometrics to identify patterns and provide recommendations.

Partnership details and future plans

'The UAE is helping set the global standard for longevity and tech-enabled health,' said Will Ahmed, WHOOP's founder and CEO. 'Since launching Advanced Labs in the United States last year, we've seen strong demand from the UAE and across the GCC.'

Mohammed Daoud, General Manager at Unilabs Middle East, said the partnership aims to help individuals build a clearer picture of their recovery and overall well-being.' Unilabs will showcase the collaboration at the Dubai Games from 12-15 February 2026.

The companies plan deeper data integration over time, though specific details weren't provided. This could mean automatic result uploads or more sophisticated analysis that combines lab trends with fitness-tracking data.

The bigger health tech picture

WHOOP's UAE launch comes as the Emirates positions itself as a longevity and health technology hub. The partnership reflects growing demand for integrated health monitoring that goes beyond basic fitness metrics.

However, the value proposition remains unclear for casual users. The service essentially adds context to data you could get from standard blood work, interpreted through WHOOP's coaching algorithms. Whether that's worth Dhs 733 depends on how much you value the integrated approach versus separate health tracking.

The launch also highlights the digital health trend accelerating across the region, where tech companies are increasingly positioning wearables as comprehensive health platforms rather than just fitness accessories.

WHOOP Advanced Labs pricing in UAE

The 65-biomarker panel costs Dhs 733 in the UAE, matching US pricing. WHOOP members can book through Unilabs' website or visit their centres across the Emirates. Home collection is available for an additional fee.

The service launches on 12 February 2026 and is available to existing WHOOP members immediately. New users would need a WHOOP membership, which currently offers discounts for UAE residents.
