It’s not officially summer yet but it sure feels like it in many places around North America. Growing up, your mother probably told you to put some sunscreen on but did she remind just as much about staying hydrated? Believe it or not but people these days get too busy to even drink water. I know, crazy! If you’re one of those people who are not drinking enough water everyday, the HidrateMe Smart Water Bottle just might be the gadget for you.
The HidrateMe Smart Water Bottle is currently being funded on Kickstarter and with 33 days to go, they have already reached over $250,000 blowing their initial goal of $35,000 out of the water. So why are people so interested in a water bottle anyway?
About The HidrateMe Smart Water Bottle
For starters, it’s a ‘smart’ water bottle for those who forget to drink water. This water bottle stays connected to your mobile device and tracks your water intake and makes sure that you are staying hydrated at all times. The HidrateMe Smart Water Bottle is a 24oz (710ml) reusable water bottle made from Tritan plastic which is BPA free. The bottle comes with a leak proof cap and is dishwasher safe.
There is a sensor stick inside the bottle which automatically tracks how much you are drinking throughout the day. Information is sent to the Hidrate app on your phone and the water bottle with glow when it’s time for you to drink more water. It uses a common battery making it easy for you to replace it but should hold you over for over a year.
It’s pretty simple to use the HidrateMeApp and it connects to your mobile device via Bluetooth. You simply input male or female, your age, height, weight, and how active you are. Based on these details, the HidrateMe App will tell you how much water you should be drinking everyday, how you are progressing, and remind you if you start to fall behind. You can make it even more accurate by providing you location so the app can adjust your daily water intake based on the temperature, humidity, and even your elevation.
A water bottle shouldn’t cost you very much but since it’s smart and tells you when to drink, they will charge you $45 on the Kickstarter page. Or you can be less forgetful and get a standard water bottle.
