I am awful at remembering to stay hydrated. Busy schedules don't make keeping track of water consumption much easier, and many of us go entire days without drinking any water at all. I designed the Hydratr to give consistent reminders about water in a way that doesn't flood your phone with unnecessary notifications. The prototype Hydratr shown uses a few clunky components to get the job done.
The Hydratr app manages water reminders and allows you to set them at specific time intervals. When a reminder goes off, the water bottle starts to beep. When you're done drinking water, you can stop the bottle's beeps by placing your phone next to the bottle.
Attached to the water bottle is a Raspberry Pi single-board computer. It utilizes the computer's Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities to communicate with the Hydratr app and uses low-quality earbuds to make the reminder beeps. One component that needs further improvement is the power source, which is too large to make the Hydratr viable (as of now).
