A Smarter Way to Support Recovery
Hygea Healthcare is proud to announce the rollout of Huml Health’s revolutionary wearable technology at our Camp Meade facility — a major step forward in enhancing recovery support through real-time wellness monitoring.
Developed by Baltimore-based Huml Health, the system bridges the gap between the structured environment of inpatient treatment and the uncertainty that can follow discharge. Through a comfortable watch— clients can now track key health metrics including sleep, stress, heart rate, oxygen levels, and movement. This information generates a daily Wellness Score, giving Hygea Healthcare clinicians valuable insight into each client’s physical and emotionalring wellbeing.
“These aren’t just trackers,” says Huml co-CEO Rachel Hobert. “They’re lifelines — giving both clients and care teams the ability to recognize early warning signs and take action before a relapse occurs.”
Innovation Rooted in Recovery
Huml Health was co-founded by Robby Stempler, and Rachel Hobert, whose shared vision is transforming how treatment centers support recovery. Stempler, who also founded Hygea Healthcare and Kipu EMR, brings firsthand insight as both a recovery advocate and innovator. Hobert, who has a deeply personal connection to addiction recovery through her family, brings compassion, understanding, and commitment to helping others navigate the healing process.
That realization became the foundation of Huml — Human Understanding Markup Language — a platform that connects people through data, empathy, and technology. “The hypothesis was simple,” Stempler explains. “If we could see when someone’s baseline shifts — whether it’s stress, sleep, or movement — we could intervene early. And nine times out of ten, that instinct was right.”
Real Data. Real Impact.
Huml integrates seamlessly with systems like Kipu and Sunwave, allowing Hygea Healthcare’s clinicians to stay connected with alumni and track progress in real time. By monitoring vital metrics and trends, staff can identify potential setbacks, schedule check-ins, and provide timely support before a crisis develops.
This partnership creates a continuous feedback loop between clients and clinicians, helping Hygea Healthcare extend its care model far beyond discharge. Each data point deepens our understanding of recovery, transforming aftercare into an active, informed, and compassionate process.
