Stay properly hydrated with The Hug

Thanks to The Hug bottle you will never forget that it is time to hydrate yourself properly.

The Hug principle

Based on the observation that hydration is not the strong point of the majority, these manufacturers have imagined a elastic sensor to install around the water bottle and a mobile app. With this duo, you have nothing to do but follow the directions to stay properly hydrated throughout the day.

Drinking more water has a real impact on health, it keeps cognitive skills and physical performance at a higher level. Hydration also plays a role in some illnesses.

The Hug sensor is flexible enough to fit approximately all bottles of water. Whether these bottles are glass, plastic or metal, it collects the data, crosses it with an algorithm and deduces the amount of water drunk.

The drums of the sensor is called long duration which leaves little indication of the actual duration before recharging. Charging which will be done via USB cable.

The Hug app

It works like a personal trainer for your hydration, only on your products Apple endowed with Bluetooth 4.0. It receives data from the sensor, calculates your hydration rate and send you push alerts if you don't drink enough.

The application can be coordinated with FitBit or Runkeeper to assess your sports activity and adapt the hydration rate accordingly.

You can also view on a graphic your long-term hydration data.

Funded on Kickstarter, this product should be available from march 2015 for about $ 69, 60 euros.

A rather nice idea that would require some improvements, for example, the possibility of preventing the application that tonight, we drink, and not just water, it would be enough that it imposes on us more glasses of water to avoid the sublime hangover of the next day. That said, this sensor is also a great way to maintain a permanent hangover by installing it comfortably around a bottle of dew, if we are sent push alerts to take sips, which we are to refuse after all!

The nonsense to do or not for that matter, this product could be particularly useful for the seniors, better still in retirement health home or hydration in summer poses a real problem, the nurses could thus easily know who drinks correctly or not and avoid thus many health concerns to their patients.
