HumeCare+ Offers Personalized GLP-1 Support Beyond Scale Metrics
A new approach to GLP-1 medications focuses on body composition and comprehensive patient care.
As GLP-1 medications for weight loss gain popularity, an emerging company, HumeCare+, is offering a different model of support. While approximately 28 million Americans are estimated to use these drugs, according to Gallup, HumeCare+ aims to provide a more personalized and holistic approach than services that focus solely on prescribing medication. The program integrates at-home body composition scans, a connected app for tracking food and medication, and ongoing patient monitoring.
HumeCare+ reports that around 20,000 Americans have utilized its services, receiving positive reviews for its personalized plans and comprehensive support. Patients have noted the benefit of weekly 3D body scans, which offer a more detailed understanding of bodily changes compared to relying solely on scale weight. This focus on body composition, tracking shifts in fat and muscle mass, provides a more complete health picture for both patients and care providers.
Plans with HumeCare+ begin at $179 per month. The onboarding process involves a brief assessment of goals and health history, followed by a clinician's review to determine the most suitable treatment approach. Beyond the prescription, the company also provides key supplements such as Glycine, B12, and B6, intended to support muscle maintenance and mitigate common side effects associated with weight loss medications.
