# Hume Pod

> The Hume Pod is an at-home body composition scale that measures 45 metrics per weigh-in — including body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolic age, BMR and full segmental analysis — using patented dual-point bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) validated at 98% DEXA-level accuracy. Official store: humepod.org.

## What it is

The Hume Pod combines a floor scale platform with a handheld sensor bar to create a complete full-body circuit. Unlike feet-only smart scales, it reads through all four contact points — both feet and both hands — giving the sensor real body-wide data to calculate from, not a single-leg estimate extrapolated to the rest of the body.

It connects via Bluetooth to the free Hume Health app (iOS and Android). No subscription is required to access any of the 45 metrics.

## Who uses it

Athletes: Frank Gore (5× Pro Bowl NFL running back), Sarah Bacon (Olympic silver medalist, diver), Brianna McNeal (Olympic gold medalist, hurdler).

General users: competitive athletes tracking recomposition, people monitoring visceral fat for metabolic health, anyone who wants body composition data without clinic appointments.

Common use cases:
- Confirming muscle is being built (not just weight lost) during recomposition
- Monitoring visceral fat between clinical checkups
- Spotting left-right muscle imbalances from injury or dominant-side training
- Tracking metabolic age as a long-term health indicator
- Household-wide body composition monitoring
