Human performance and technology company WHOOP has appointed Indian American cardiologist and digital health authority Dr. Ami Bhatt as its new chief medical officer.
In her executive role, Bhatt will oversee WHOOP’s consumer health strategy, aiming to strengthen the clinical grounding of its wearable technology and bridge daily wellness tracking with formal medical care. Her focus includes leveraging physiological monitoring, data analytics, and artificial intelligence to offer users actionable health insights.
“The companies that define this era will combine world-class technology with deep clinical credibility,” said Will Ahmed, founder and chief executive officer of WHOOP. “Dr. Bhatt has helped shape the future of digital medicine, and her leadership will help accelerate the next chapter for WHOOP.”
Bhatt joins WHOOP with more than two decades of experience across clinical practice, digital health, and health policy. She previously served as chief innovation officer at the American College of Cardiology and chaired the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Digital Health Advisory Committee, where she advised on regulatory frameworks for generative AI in healthcare.

Earlier in her career, Bhatt was the director of Outpatient Cardiology, TeleCardiology, and Adult Congenital Heart Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she established virtual care programs in 2013 to expand specialist access for patients living far from major medical centers. She also served as an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.WHOOP appoints Indian American cardiologist Ami Bhatt as CMO
As a prominent leader within the Indian American medical community, Bhatt completed her undergraduate studies at Harvard University before earning her Doctor of Medicine from the Yale School of Medicine.
She completed her internal medicine and pediatrics residency at Harvard, followed by fellowship training in adult cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and adult congenital heart disease at Boston Children’s Hospital. Her clinical career treating complex heart conditions informed her advocacy for proactive care delivered outside traditional hospital walls.
“I believe the first mile of healthcare begins in people’s everyday lives, well before they enter a clinic,” Bhatt said. “By combining the ongoing view of physiology provided by WHOOP with clinical judgment and the responsible use of AI, we can give people greater agency in their health and clinicians a richer picture over time.”
