Hume Health connects to fitness trackers, smartwatches, and health platforms you already use

Hume Health is a health data aggregation app — it pulls information from other apps and devices into one place so you can see your health picture without logging into five different accounts. The apps and devices it connects to depend on which integrations Hume has built, and that list changes as they add partnerships. Right now, Hume connects to popular fitness trackers like Fitbit and Apple Watch, health platforms like MyFitnessPal and Strava, and some electronic health record systems through FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards.

Before you connect anything, understand what you are trading: Hume will see the data those apps hold about you — your steps, heart rate, workouts, weight, medications, or lab results depending on what you link. Hume stores that data on its servers. That means your health information moves from the original app's servers to Hume's servers, and both companies have access to it. You control which apps to connect, but once connected, you should assume Hume can see everything that app knows about you.

Key Takeaways

  • Hume Health currently connects to Fitbit, Apple Health, Garmin, Oura Ring, Strava, MyFitnessPal, and some health systems through FHIR standards, but the full list changes as they add integrations.
  • When you connect an app to Hume, you are giving Hume permission to read the health data that app holds — steps, heart rate, workouts, weight, or medical records depending on what the app tracks.
  • Hume stores the data it pulls from connected apps on its own servers, so your information is now held by both the original app company and by Hume.
  • You can disconnect any app from Hume at any time, which stops new data from flowing in but does not delete the data Hume already collected.
  • Check Hume's privacy policy and the privacy policy of each app you connect to understand how each company uses your health data.

Which specific apps and devices Hume currently supports

Hume's integration list includes Fitbit, Apple Health, Garmin, Oura Ring, Strava, and MyFitnessPal. These are the most common connections because they hold the kinds of data Hume is designed to aggregate — activity, heart rate, sleep, nutrition, and workout information. Hume also connects to some electronic health record systems and health providers that use FHIR standards, which is a technical format that lets different health systems share data with each other. If your doctor's office uses an EHR system that supports FHIR, you may be able to pull your medical records into Hume.

The list is not fixed. Hume adds new integrations regularly, so check their app or website to see the current options. When you open the app and go to the connections or integrations section, you will see which apps are available to connect right now and which ones are coming soon. If an app you use is not listed, you can sometimes manually log your data into Hume, but that is slower and more error-prone than an automatic connection.

What happens to your data when you connect an app

When you connect an app to Hume, you are authorizing Hume to read data from that app. The connection usually works through OAuth, which is a standard way apps ask for permission without you handing over your password. You will see a screen from the original app (like Fitbit or Apple Health) asking if you want to let Hume access your data. If you say yes, Hume can then pull information from that app into its own system.

Hume stores that data on its servers. That means your health information now lives in two places: on the original app's servers and on Hume's servers. Both companies have access to it. Hume's privacy policy governs how Hume uses the data — whether they sell it, share it with third parties, use it to train AI models, or keep it private. The original app's privacy policy still governs how that company uses your data. You need to read both policies to understand the full picture of who can see your information.

If you disconnect an app from Hume later, Hume stops pulling new data from that app. However, the data Hume already collected and stored does not automatically delete. You would need to contact Hume or use their data deletion tools to remove historical data, if those tools exist. Check Hume's privacy settings or support documentation to see what options you have for deleting data after you disconnect.

The privacy and security trade-offs of connecting multiple apps

Connecting multiple apps to Hume is convenient — you get a single dashboard instead of logging into five different accounts. But convenience comes with a privacy cost. Each connection you make increases the amount of health data Hume holds about you. More data in one place means a bigger target for hackers. If Hume is breached, an attacker could potentially access your fitness data, nutrition logs, heart rate history, and medical records all at once, rather than having to breach five separate companies.

There is also a business model question. Hume is a company that needs to make money. Some health apps make money by selling anonymized data to researchers or pharmaceutical companies, by selling insights to insurance companies, or by showing you targeted ads. Check Hume's privacy policy to see how they describe their data practices. If they say they "may share data with partners" or "use data for research and development," that means your information could be used in ways beyond just showing you your own health dashboard.

You do not have to connect every app you use. You could connect only your most important health data — say, your medical records and heart rate — and manually log other information like workouts or nutrition. That limits the amount of data Hume holds about you and reduces the risk if Hume is breached. The trade-off is that you lose the convenience of automatic syncing for those apps.

How to check what data Hume can see from each app

Before you connect an app, look at the permission screen carefully. When you authorize Hume to access Fitbit, for example, Fitbit will show you exactly what data Hume is asking for — steps, heart rate, sleep, weight, or all of the above. Do not just click "allow" without reading. If Hume is asking for more data than you are comfortable sharing, you can decline the connection or look for a different health app that requests fewer permissions.

After you connect an app, go into Hume's settings and look for a section on connected apps or integrations. Most apps let you see which permissions you granted and sometimes let you revoke specific permissions without disconnecting entirely. For example, you might let Hume see your heart rate but not your weight. Check whether Hume offers that level of control. If it does not, you have to choose between connecting everything or connecting nothing.

Disconnecting apps and managing your connected data

You can disconnect any app from Hume at any time. Go to your settings, find the integrations or connected apps section, and look for a disconnect or remove button next to the app you want to stop sharing with. Once you disconnect, Hume will not pull any new data from that app. However, the historical data Hume already collected will remain on Hume's servers unless you delete it.

To delete historical data, look in Hume's privacy or data management settings for a data deletion or export tool. Some apps let you read all your data before you delete it, which is useful if you want to keep a copy. If Hume does not have a self-service deletion tool, contact their support team and ask how to request deletion of your data. Under privacy laws like GDPR (if you are in Europe) or CCPA (if you are in California), you have the right to request deletion, though the company may take weeks to process it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect my doctor's medical records to Hume?

Yes, if your health system uses FHIR standards or has a direct integration with Hume. Ask your doctor's office whether they support FHIR or have a connection to Hume. If they do, you can authorize Hume to pull your medical records, lab results, and medication lists. Not all health systems support this yet, so you may need to manually read your records and upload them to Hume instead.

What if I connect an app and then change my mind?

Disconnect it when ready from your Hume settings. New data will stop flowing in right away. The data Hume already collected will stay on Hume's servers unless you delete it through Hume's data management tools. If you are concerned about privacy, contact Hume's support team and ask them to delete all historical data from that app.

Does connecting apps to Hume cost extra money?

That depends on Hume's pricing model, which may vary. Some health aggregation apps charge a subscription fee, others are free and make money through data sales or ads. Check Hume's pricing page or terms of service to see whether connecting apps costs anything beyond what you already pay for Hume itself.

Can Hume see my passwords if I connect an app?

No. Hume uses OAuth, which means you log into the original app (like Fitbit) directly, not through Hume. Hume never sees your password. You grant permission for Hume to read specific data, but Hume does not get access to your login credentials.

What happens to my data if Hume goes out of business?

That depends on what Hume's terms of service say. Some companies commit to deleting user data if they shut down; others may sell user data to another company. Read Hume's terms of service to see what they promise. If you are concerned, read and save your health data regularly so you have a copy even if Hume disappears.
