βWHOOP Researchβ
βThis research is about providing patients and clinicians a different way to evaluate health. Instead of focusing on pain or crisis care, the dialogue between the clinician and patient can focus on improving baseline health metrics and the long-term overall well-being of the patient,β said Dr. Stephanie Sullivan.
There are 80 Corrective Chiropractic patients who have signed consent forms and participated in the initial data pool, which was collected in July 2022. For the past several months, the team has been deciphering this data.
βWe are midway through the initial phase,β noted Dr. Sullivan. βThe benefit of the WHOOP band is that assessments are not confined to what is assessed when the patient is in the office.β
