Problem Statement
People, depending on their height, weight and activity levels need different amounts of water in order to stay hydrated.​ There is no feedback system available to the general population that will allow people to determine if they are hydrated at a given point in time.​ We are going to create a wearable device that will allow a person to monitor their hydration level​.
System Specifications
-
Will be portable and compact.
-
Will automatically measure total body water (TBW) every 30 minutes or upon user’s request and send the data wirelessly to the user’s phone.
-
Will vibrate to notify the user to drink water when the total body water is less than 45% in women and less than 50% in men.
-
TBW measured by the wristband will be 95% accurate for 90% of the people.
-
Will have an interface that will allow users to put in information such as body weight and height, which will be used in the calculations.
-
Will display data such as hydration levels throughout the day, send notifications to drink water when needed.
-
Will also predict the recommended water intake before exercising according to current hydration level.
