Hume Body Pod
The Body Pod is a full-body composition analyzer (smart scale + handles) that scans your body in ~60 seconds and tracks 45+ metrics—so you can see fat loss vs. muscle gain vs. water changes (not just “weight”).
What Make the Hume Body Pod Different?
Most smart scales only measure through your feet. The Hume Pod uses hand + foot sensors and segmental measurement (arms/torso/legs separately) for a more complete body scan and better trend tracking. .
Key Benefits
- Full-Body: Scan in ~60 seconds (step on + grab handles)
- Metrics: 45+ body composition metrics with multi-frequency analysis
- Segmental Breakdown: Left arm, right arm, torso, left leg, right leg—so you can spot imbalances and see where change is happening.
- Key Markers: Track body fat %, visceral fat, skeletal muscle mass, body water, metabolic age, and more.
- Heart Rate Sensor: Heart health/heart rate tracking is supported in the platform
- Family / Multi-User Friendly: supports multiple profiles and Hume describes “register up to 24 users” for shared households
- Health App Integrations: Connect to Apple Health / Google Health Connect (and Hume also lists Apple Health, Google Fit, and Samsung Health sync on their materials)
- Eligibility: HSA/FSA eligible
What it Measures
You’ll see a deeper story than weight alone—especially helpful when the scale “won’t move” but your body is changing:
- Weight
- Body fat percentage + fat mass
- Total body water + intracellular/extracellular water
- Skeletal mass / muscle metrics
Battery, Charging, and Durability
- Battery Type: Rechargeable Li-ion
- Typical Battery Life: Up to ~1 year per charge
- Fast Charge: ~30 minutes “fast daily charge” for quick usage
- If fully drained / won’t turn on: Hume recommends charging at least 2 hours with the provided cable
How it Works
- Step on and grab the handles (bare feet; handles held above waist level)
- The Pod scans using multi-frequency BIA and segmental measurement
- Results sync to the app so you can track trends week-to-week/month-to-month
Privacy & Data control

FAQs
Q1. Who is the Hume Body Pod best for?
It’s built for anyone who wants to track body composition trends (fat, muscle, water) rather than weight alone—especially helpful for weight management, strength training, and long-term metabolic health tracking.
Q2. What’s the key difference vs. a typical smart scale?
Most smart scales measure only through the feet. The Hume Pod uses both hands + feet and includes segmental measurement (arms/torso/legs separately) for a fuller picture.
Q3. How long does a scan take?
About 60 seconds - step on and grab the handles, then let it complete the scan.
Q4. What does it measure?
Hume states it measures 45+ metrics, including fat mass, muscle mass, visceral fat, body water, and segmental distribution.
Q5. How accurate is it compared to DEXA?
Hume cites independent testing and site materials indicating results within a few percent of DEXA (DEXA is commonly referenced as a gold standard for body composition).
Q6. Is it safe to use?
Hume states BIA is widely used and has been around for 20+ years, and recommends consulting a doctor first if you have a pacemaker.
Q7. Can multiple people use one device?
Yes - Hume supports multiple accounts, and notes the device connects to one phone at a time (so other users may need to close their app if nearby).
Q8. Does it work with Apple Health / Android health platforms?
Hume lists integrations including Apple Health and Google Health Connect, and also references syncing with Apple Health, Google Fit, and Samsung Health in their materials.
Q9. What’s the max weight and measurement precision?
It supports up to 400 lb with 0.1 lb precision.
Q10. How should staff/users get consistent readings?
For best consistency, Hume recommends measuring under similar conditions (many people do morning weigh-ins) and focusing on trends over time, since hydration/timing can affect a single reading.
Q11. What is battery life and charge time?
Hume lists up to ~1 year per charge and a ~30-minute fast daily charge. If the unit is fully drained and won’t power on, Hume recommends charging at least 2 hours.
Q12. Do you need a paid subscription to use it?
No—Hume states you can use the app for weigh-ins and body measurements without Premium; Premium unlocks extra reports/insights.
