Why the Hume Pod

The scale tells you a number. The Pod tells you the whole story.

Weight on its own can't tell fat from muscle from water. The Hume Pod reads your full body composition — and breaks it down limb by limb — so you can see what's really changing and whether your habits are working.

Beyond the number

Measures fat, muscle, water and bone — not just the figure on a bathroom scale.

Whole-body, segmental

8 electrodes read your arms, torso and legs separately for a true picture.

Near-DEXA accuracy

Independently validated at 98% DEXA-level — far beyond a typical smart scale.

The whole household

Up to 24 personal accounts on one device, each tracked privately in the app.

What it measures

Six readings that change how you see progress.

Step on, grab the handles, and in 60 seconds the Hume Pod scans your whole body — every reading explained in plain language in the free app.

Body fat

01 — Body fat

Are you losing fat — or just weight?

Weight alone can't separate fat from muscle or water. The Pod shows your true body-fat percentage and splits it across arms, torso and legs — so you can tell whether the pounds coming off are fat, while you hold on to the muscle that keeps your metabolism high.

Precise body-fat % — measured, not estimated
Segmental breakdown — arms, torso, legs
Tells genuine fat loss apart from water loss

Muscle mass App dashboard showing skeletal muscle mass across the body

02 — Muscle mass

See strength gains the scale hides

Skeletal muscle drives strength, metabolism and healthy ageing. The Pod measures it across your whole body — including each limb — so you can see exactly where you're building, and spot left-versus-right imbalances before they hold you back.

Visceral fat App screen showing visceral fat level and trend over time

03 — Visceral fat

Put a number on the fat you can't see

Visceral fat sits deep around your organs and is linked to heart and metabolic risk — yet an ordinary scale can't see it. The Pod measures it directly and tracks it over time, so you can watch it fall as your habits improve.

Metabolic age App screen showing metabolic age and basal metabolic rate

04 — Metabolic age

How old is your body, really?

Two people the same age can be worlds apart inside. Metabolic age weighs your muscle, fat and basal metabolic rate against the norm for your years — a single, honest number you can move in the right direction, month after month.

Bone density App screen showing bone mineral content tracked over time

05 — Bone density

Look after your bones as you age

Strong bones underpin an active life. The Pod tracks bone mineral content so you can see how diet, calcium and training affect it — and catch a decline early. Especially valuable for older adults and post-menopausal women.

Hydration

App screen showing total body water split into intracellular and extracellular

06 — Hydration & body water

Know whether a change is real

Water shifts can mask fat loss or inflate the scale. The Pod measures total body water and splits it into intracellular and extracellular — so you always know whether a change is genuine progress or just fluid.

Basal metabolic rate

The calories your body burns at rest — the baseline for any nutrition plan.

Protein

Total body protein, a marker of muscle quality and recovery.

BMI

Body mass index, shown alongside true composition — not instead of it.

Subcutaneous fat

The fat just under the skin, tracked separately from visceral fat.

Muscle-to-fat ratio

The balance between muscle and fat that matters more than weight alone.

Left vs right balance

Segmental symmetry across your limbs, flagging imbalances early.

How it works

A clinical-grade scan in three simple steps.

Step 1

Step on & grab the handles

Stand barefoot and hold the grips at waist height. 8 electrodes read your arms, torso and legs.

Step 2

60-second scan

Multi-frequency BIA sensors analyse fat, muscle, bone and water across every segment of your body.

Step 3

Check your app

Readings sync instantly — 45+ metrics, weekly trends and personalised insights in the free Hume Health app.

For the most reliable numbers, scan first thing in the morning, barefoot, on a flat non-carpeted surface at the same time each day — and watch weekly trends rather than daily ups and downs.

The complete picture

45+ body-composition metrics, in one scan.

Every reading feeds the free Hume Health app, building a clear, joined-up view of your body that you can track week to week.

How the Hume Pod compares

Standard scales guess. The Pod measures.

Most smart scales send a current through your lower body only and estimate the rest. The Hume Pod reads your whole body directly — at near-clinical accuracy, without the clinic.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the Hume Pod?

It has been independently validated at 98% DEXA-level accuracy by Socotech, a third-party testing organisation. That's well beyond a typical smart scale (around 89%), which usually only measures the lower half of the body.

How is it different from a normal smart scale?

Standard scales send a current through your lower body only and estimate full-body figures. The Pod uses 8-point electrodes — including hand grips — and multi-frequency BIA to measure your arms, torso and legs separately, giving true segmental analysis at near-clinical accuracy.

Can several people use the same Pod?

Yes — up to 24 accounts can be linked to one Pod. Everyone signs in to their own account in the free Hume Health app for private, personalised tracking, so it works for the whole household.

Does it sync with Apple Health or Google?

Yes. The Pod connects over Bluetooth to the Hume Health app, which links to Apple Health and Google Health Connect — so your workouts, sleep and steps sit alongside your body-composition trends.

Is it safe to use with a pacemaker?

The Pod uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), a technology used safely for over 20 years. Studies have shown no interference for many modern cardiac devices, but if you have any implanted device, please check with your doctor before use.

What's the battery life and charging time?

The rechargeable battery lasts up to a year per charge, and a 30-minute fast charge is enough to get going again.

What's the returns policy?

Returns are handled in line with Ready Health's standard returns policy and your statutory rights — see our Terms & Conditions, or get in touch with our UK team and we'll help you start the process.

Is the Hume Pod a medical device?

No. The Hume Pod is a consumer wellness device. Its readings are BIA-based estimates, not clinical measurements, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you have a health concern, please speak with a clinician.
