The BodyPod has a built-in diagnostics system that displays error codes when it encounters an issue.
Refer to the table below to determine whether the issue is caused by hardware or incorrect usage.
For example, Error 10 occurs when there’s an issue with the electrical impedance detected in the left arm. To fix this, proper positioning and grip are essential.
Please ensure:
Correct posture: Make sure you are standing as outlined in the guidelines. Hands and feet: Make sure hands and feet are not too dry. If this doesn’t work, try wetting your hands and see if it helps with the reading. No socks, gloves, or footwear: The scale requires bare skin to get accurate readings. Correct grip: Hold the left and right handles correctly with your thumbs. If the scale detects incorrect positioning, it might result in the error. Flat, even flooring: Make sure the scale is placed on hard, flat, and even flooring. Avoid using the scale on carpets or uneven surfaces.

If your measurements seem inaccurate, try these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Verify Your Profile Information
Make sure your height, age, and gender are correctly entered in the Hume Health app:
- Open the Hume Health app.
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Select Edit Profile (top right).
- Review and confirm your information.
2. Recalibrate Your Scale
If your profile details are correct, your scale may need recalibration:
- Check that your scale has power.
- Reset the BodyPod:
- Locate the small reset button behind the handlebars, near the charging port.
- Use a pin or needle to press and hold it for 5 seconds.
- Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets or uneven flooring).
- Recalibrate:
- Quickly step on and off the scale.
- The scale should display 0.0 lbs/kg—recalibration is now complete.
3. Ensure Accurate Weigh-Ins
- Stay hydrated – Dehydration can affect body composition readings.
- Weigh in at a consistent time – The best time for most people is within 30 minutes of waking up before eating, but after drinking a glass of water.
- Avoid measuring after exercise – Water shifts in the body can cause fluctuations.
- Don’t weigh in back-to-back – Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sends a small electrical current through your body. Taking multiple measurements in a row can temporarily lower resistance, leading to inconsistent readings.

Absolutely! The BodyPod scale is completely safe to use during pregnancy, with no direct interaction or impact on the baby. However, as the pregnancy progresses, the changes in the mother’s body will affect the scale’s readings.
As the baby grows, the added weight will be reflected primarily in the trunk region. For example, by around 8 months, a 9-pound baby might be represented on the scale as an additional 5-6 pounds of muscle and approximately 3 pounds of fat. This is because the scale attributes the baby’s weight to the mother’s body composition.
Additionally, pregnancy-related water retention will likely contribute to an increase in lean tissue readings. Overall, while the BodyPod scale remains safe to use, the segmented analysis will show increased weight in the torso area, which includes the baby and other pregnancy-related changes, rather than being entirely reflective of the mother’s own body.
Yes! If customers have a Pacemaker or ICD installed after 1992, they can still safely use our Body Pod.
According to numerous studies there has been no interference found in patients with CIEDs during BIA measurements.
The scale supports a maximum weight of 400 lbs (181.4 kg). If exceeded, the scale will display an error. The scale has a minimum measure weights of 6.6 lbs (3 kg)
The scale can be used by children or elderly people.
It will always be accurate in terms of tissue weight and percent.
There is less research about benchmarks for children, so the child will be held accountable to the standards of a 19 year old. This may cause them to score ‘standard’ or ‘low’ even though they are ‘high’ for their age.
The user should track the amounts and trends for accuracy.
Our scale is not an X-ray machine and therefore cannot directly measure bone density, which is the specific aspect that diminishes in osteoporosis. However, our scale can interpret bone mineral content, which is closely related to bone mass. Generally, bone density and bone mineral content are correlated, meaning that a high bone mineral content usually indicates good bone density. It is highly unlikely to have a high bone density with low bone mineral content, and it is impossible to have a high bone mineral content with low bone density.
This correlation gives us a high level of confidence in our scale's ability to provide a reliable bone mass reading.
While the scale cannot diagnose osteoporosis, it can be a useful tool for monitoring changes in bone mass. If someone notices a decline in their bone mass reading, it may be a good idea to consult a healthcare professional. Additionally, individuals who have already been diagnosed with osteoporosis can use the scale to track changes in their bone mass over time or to see the effects of diet and/or medication. It's important to note, however, that once osteoporosis is present, the goal is usually to slow down or halt further bone loss rather than reverse it.
Yes! No interference in patients equipped with cochlear implants. BIA can be securely performed in these patients.
Yes, our scale is safe for users with Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a condition that causes an irregular or rapid heart rate, but our devices do not interact with or affect heart function. You can use the scale without concern, as it poses no risk to those with this condition.
As you continue to use Hume Plus, your Digital Twin begins to establish a baseline for your health. It does this by analyzing over 30 health metrics (via your BodyPod), along with any third-party data you choose to integrate from Apple or Google, including activity and sleep data. From there, your Digital Twin tracks and analyzes how your health is trending and what it means, which is shared with you through your Health Score and Insights. Once this baseline is set, your Digital Twin helps you build healthier habits through Milestones and Insights.
Over time, as you continue using Hume Plus, your Digital Twin will become smarter, continually optimizing and offering more personalized Insights to help you achieve your goals.
Milestones allow you to set personalized health goals and track your progress over time. They provide a clear, structured way to monitor your journey, keeping you focused and motivated as you work towards better health.
Your Health Score is a measure of your overall health and serves as the foundation for building your Digital Twin—a visual representation of your health. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how well you take care of your body and how your health is trending.
Each week, a new Health Score is generated by weighing in at least once. The more frequently you weigh in, the more personalized your data becomes. Your Health Score fluctuates based on changes in your body composition and daily behaviors.
The Health Score is calculated out of 900 and is based on four essential health pillars:
- Body Composition: This score is calculated using data collected from your smart scale.
- Activity: This score reflects your activity level, including steps and active minutes tracked by your connected apps.
- Nutrition: This score is based on how well you complete weekly challenges related to building healthy nutrition habits.

No, the Hume Band does not connect directly to Wi-Fi. It uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your smartphone, and then data is synced to the Hume cloud through your phone's internet connection (either Wi-Fi or cellular).
The Hume Band has a standard Bluetooth range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters) under optimal conditions. However, physical barriers like walls, furniture, or electronic interference may reduce this range. For the most reliable connection, we recommend keeping your band and phone within 10 feet (3 meters) of each other when syncing data.
The Hume Band captures a comprehensive set of physiological metrics:
- Heart rate (continuous monitoring)
- Heart rate variability (HRV)
- Blood oxygen levels (SpO2)
- Sleep stages (light, deep, REM, and awake periods)
- Sleep quality and efficiency
- Respiratory rate
- Activity levels and movement patterns
- Strain and recovery metrics
- Skin temperature
The Hume Band differentiates itself in several key ways:
- Metabolic Intelligence: Instead of simply tracking metrics, the Hume Band uses Pro.f AI to interpret your physiological signals and transform them into personalized insights focused on metabolic health and longevity.
- Recovery Focus: Rather than emphasizing only exercise and activity, the Hume Band prioritizes recovery analysis and optimization, including detailed sleep architecture assessment.
- Longevity Science: The band applies principles from longevity research to its algorithms, focusing on metrics with established connections to healthspan and lifespan.
- Metabolic Capacity: Unique daily assessments of your body's readiness and recovery state create a continuously adapting picture of your metabolic health.
- Strain and Recovery Balance: Sophisticated analysis of physiological and mental strain and recovery patterns helps optimize your daily activities for long-term health.
- AI-Powered Discoveries: Premium users receive personalized experimental recommendations designed to accelerate Pro.f's understanding of your unique physiology.
The Hume Band shifts focus from fitness tracking to comprehensive metabolic optimization for long-term health.
Longevity refers to the optimization of your body's fundamental biological processes to extend both lifespan and healthspan—the years you live in good health. Unlike fitness tracking that focuses on daily activity, longevity optimization targets the underlying metabolic systems that determine how your body ages at the cellular level.
The Band's Longevity Approach:
- Cardiovascular System Optimization: The Band continuously monitors your cardiovascular health through five key metrics that directly correlate with longevity: resting heart rate, heart rate variability, heart rate consistency, baseline SpO2, and SpO2 consistency. These combine into your Cardiovascular Health Score, a powerful predictor of both lifespan and quality of life.
- Metabolic Capacity Tracking: Your daily Metabolic Capacity score reflects your body's current ability to handle physical and mental strain while maintaining optimal recovery—like a battery measuring your biological resilience and adaptability.
- Recovery Debt Prevention: The Band tracks strain (muscular, cardiovascular, mental) and compares it to your recovery. Preventing chronic unrecovered strain slows aging and promotes beneficial adaptations for long-term health.
- Sleep Architecture Analysis: Deep sleep, REM cycles, and consistency impact cellular repair, immunity, and cognitive health. The Band ensures your sleep supports optimal aging.
- Physiological Age Calculation: By comparing your data to population benchmarks, the Band estimates your physiological age—how your body is aging versus your actual age.
- Metabolic Trajectory Projection: The Band projects how your current health behaviors impact your future metabolic capacity, empowering you to make decisions that support long-term vitality.
Rather than simply tracking activity, the Band optimizes the biological processes that determine how you age, giving you the tools to take measurable control of your longevity.
Yes it is IP67 waterproof.
Absolutely—and we actually recommend it! Sleep is a huge part of how your body recovers, and the Hume Band is designed to track all the important stuff while you rest, like:
- Sleep stages (light, deep, REM, and awake)
- How long and how well you slept
- Heart rate variability
- Breathing rate and blood oxygen levels
- How well your body is bouncing back overnight
All of this contributes to your Sleep Quality Score and helps shape your daily recovery and Metabolic Capacity. Plus, the Band is made to be super comfy, so you can wear it all night without even noticing it’s there.
- Base sampling rate: 50-100 Hz for PPG signal acquisition

Recommendations are designed to be actionable and appropriate for your current metabolic state, making it easier to optimize your health without needing to interpret the data yourself.
The Hume Band delivers high accuracy for a consumer wearable device:
- Heart rate tracking is validated against ECG standards with accuracy typically within 3-5 bpm during rest and moderate activity
- Sleep stage detection uses validated algorithms with accuracy rates comparable to consumer-grade EEG devices
- Blood oxygen (SpO2) measurements meet FDA guidelines for pulse oximetry accuracy
- HRV measurements focus on relative changes rather than absolute values, providing reliable trend data
Several factors can impact accuracy:
- Proper fit (the band should be snug but comfortable)
- Placement on the wrist (slightly higher than the wrist bone)
- Motion (measurements are most accurate during periods of limited movement)
- Skin characteristics (tattoos may affect optical sensor readings)
The band employs signal validation and confidence scoring to identify and flag potentially unreliable measurements, ensuring that health insights are based on high-quality data.
Yes, the Hume Band is designed to provide accurate readings across diverse skin tones and body types:
