Hume Band
Health Watch
The Hume Band is a screen-free wearable that tracks key biometrics - sleep, recovery, stress signals, and more - then translates them into clear, actionable insights focused on longevity and metabolic health.
What Make the Hume Band Different?
The Hume Band isn’t just about fitness - it’s about future-proofing your health. The Hume Band tracks longevity markers, showing how your habits are either speeding up or slowing down aging.
