Our current top picks (tested in 2026)
We put every device through weeks of daily use before recommending it. These are the three tools from the Hume Health ecosystem that earned a spot, each one for a different kind of user. All three can also work together in a single app.
The two devices we tested: Body Pod (composition) and Band 2.0 (sleep, recovery, daily trends).
| Product | Best for | What it does | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hume Body Pod Smart body composition scale |
Anyone losing weight who wants to know if it's fat they're losing, not muscle | Segmental analysis with hand + foot sensors. Tracks body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat and more from home. Full review | Check price |

People who want sleep, recovery and daily health trends without another screen on their wrist | Tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep stages, skin temperature and recovery with up to 14-day battery life. Full review · vs Whoop | Check price |
 HumeCare+Medical weight-loss program (US only) |
US adults exploring clinician-guided weight loss with body composition tracking built in | Telehealth program combining clinical oversight with Hume's tracking tools. Requires medical evaluation and eligibility. US residents 18+ only. | See if you qualify |
How we chooseWe buy-in or request devices, use them daily for weeks, and compare readings against consistent conditions. We tell you the flaws (every product here has some) and we never accept payment for a positive verdict.
