Bengaluru Tech Worker Ranks Meetings and Colleagues by Heart-Rate Data from Whoop Wristband

Pankaj Tanwar, a tech worker based in Bengaluru, India, connected his Whoop wristband to his work calendar and matched per-minute heart-rate data to meetings and attendees. Tanwar posted the results on LinkedIn and X, including screenshots with some details masked. The posts include a ranking of people or meetings tied to stress spikes.

"We were all joking in a meeting about how draining some of them are," Tanwar told Business Insider in an email. "I've got a ton of dumb fun ideas, some of them actually useful," Tanwar told Business Insider. Business Insider reported that Tanwar's experiment is part of a broader wave of people building quirky, highly specific software tools.
