`
`’868 Patent Claim Whoop Accused System1
`7[pre] A diagnostic
`Without conceding that the preamble of Claim 7 is limiting, Whoop Inc. (“Whoop”) has made, used, offered
`system comprising:
`to sell, sold in the United States, and/or has imported into the United States, and/or, continues to make, use,
`offer to sell, and sell within the United States, and/or import into the United States, Accused Systems that
`are diagnostic systems, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`For example, Whoop provides a system including WHOOP 4.0 that is a diagnostic system configured to
`measure various physiological parameters of a user, such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, temperature,
`and respiratory rate. WHOOP 4.0 connects to an Accused Phone/Tablet via Bluetooth to sync data
`corresponding to measured physiological parameters. After downloading the Whoop App on an Accused
`Phone/Tablet and completing the initial Bluetooth pairing, WHOOP 4.0 transfers measured health data to
`the app whenever in range to the Accused Phone/Tablet. The app processes and analyzes the measured
`physiological parameters and provides insights into the user’s health and wellness.
`
`Whoop further offers and sells a membership-based service along with the Accused Wearable Device,
`where users pay a subscription fee for access to the Whoop App, data analysis, and health and wellness
`insights. The membership provides access to Whoop’s platform; a user must purchase the add-on Whoop
`membership in addition to an Accused Wearable Device to access all of the health features of the Accused
`Wearable Device.
`
`
`
`1 The Accused System includes a Whoop wearable device, such as WHOOP 1.0, WHOOP 2.0, WHOOP 3.0, and WHOOP 4.0 (each
`an “Accused Wearable Device”), a smartphone or tablet (an “Accused Phone/Tablet”), and a cloud, which collectively provide a
`diagnostic system capable of measuring and generating physiological information associated with a user. Smart phones and tablets
`from various manufacturers, such as Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus, and clouds provided by others, such as Strava and dbt Labs, may
`also be used as part of the Accused System. WHOOP 4.0 and various mobile devices are charted here as representative of the Accused
`System and should not be understood to be limiting. Citations to evidence contained within this chart are illustrative and should not be
`understood to be limiting. Plaintiff expressly reserves the right to rely upon additional or different evidence, or to rely on additional
`citations to the evidence already cited herein.

`
`The Accused System comprises a software application capable of generating data based at least in part
`on the measurement on the user, wherein the data represents at least in part physiological information
`associated with the user, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`For example, the Accused System comprises software applications such as the Whoop App, which is capable
`of generating data based on physiological information (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygen, temperature, etc.)
`measured from a user.
