WHOOP provides personalized, actionable feedback and tracks key metrics like heart rate variability, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep staging with industry-leading accuracy. While visualizing biometric data can be helpful, the true value of this program comes from contextualizing the information within the bigger picture. Every data point is evaluated in relation to an individuals unique variables and circ*mstances. The Sensei Portal applies a systematic approach to wellness by examining how all elements combine to influence lifestyle, versus simply confronting challenges in a vacuum. The portal displays member health data with radar diagrams of move, nourish, and rest, which reflect the balance and interdependency of each path's dynamic pieces. The diagrams reveal how optimization of any system requires strategic coordination of all its components. The portal's simplified display of aggregated data provides timely education and empowerment for those seeking improved wellbeing via self-care.
The data-rich wellness experience includes a blood biomarker diagnostic administered byMODO MD (Maui Mobile Doctor). With results available in 10 minutes, the fasted blood glucose and lipid panel findings are used to enhance and identify areas of opportunity during the one-on-one nutrition session with a Sensei Guide. While included in the Optimal Wellbeing Program, the blood marker testing is available as an add-on service for all other guests.
Reservations require a minimum 14-day advance notice to allow for optimal data collection in preparation of guest visit and personalized programming. Guests are invited to visitwww.Sensei.comto learn more about the Optimal Wellbeing Program.
