Description
The Hume Band differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on long-term longevity and metabolic health rather than daily athletic performance. Using 5 LEDs and 4 photodiodes, it captures health data more frequently than most wearables. The device integrates with Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin, and Fitbit, and supports raw data export.
