TL;DR
-
A WHOOP user built an AI-powered stress leaderboard that ranks coworkers based on heart-rate spikes during meetings.
-
The project used reverse-engineered WHOOP data, Claude’s Fable model, and calendar events to match stress responses with meeting attendees.
-
While far from scientifically perfect, the experiment showcases a creative and unexpected use of AI, and wearable data.
Every workplace has its share of stressful personalities. If none of your coworkers come to mind, there’s a chance your colleagues have you on their list instead. One WHOOP user put that exact idea to the test, using wearable data to uncover the biggest sources of his workplace stress. The results were both amusing and surprisingly insightful.
By combining data from his WHOOP fitness tracker with his work calendar, Pankaj Tanwar created a system that identifies which colleagues are most closely linked to spikes in his heart rate. This eventually led him to a personal “stress leaderboard” that ranks coworkers based on how much stress they appear to cause during meetings.
