# Conscientious Water-Tracking Devices The Eco-Pulse Concept Makes People More Aware of Their Habits By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-09-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecopulse References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/09/13/bathematics/) There are many people who are provided with the luxury of using and wasting water as they wish and many others who are not afforded that same luxury -- and the Eco-Pulse device concept aims to make people more cautious of their [wasteful habits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habit-pulse). Although the device is simply a concept, it is one that could prove extremely beneficial if it were designed in reality. The Eco-Pulse would function as a [shower controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu) that is able to visually show the user how much water they have used while bathing and when close to the designated threshold -- it begins to pulse as a warning. This useful device ensures that people who are afforded the privilege of having access to [clean water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivint-water-sensor) are cognizant of the fact that it is not a resource that we should be wasting or misusing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Water-tracking Devices:** The development of water-tracking devices that provide real-time information on water usage can help people become more aware of their habits and reduce wasteful consumption. - **Shower Controllers:** The concept of shower controllers that visually indicate water usage and provide warnings when approaching a threshold can promote more responsible showering habits and conservation. - **Watershed Awareness:** Increasing awareness about the importance of water conservation and the impact of wasteful habits through innovative devices like the Eco-Pulse can inspire individuals and communities to take proactive measures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Technology:** Smart home technology companies can explore the development of water-tracking devices and shower controllers to integrate water conservation features into their product offerings. - **Sustainable Living:** The sustainable living industry can leverage water-tracking devices and shower controllers to educate and empower individuals in adopting eco-friendly habits and reducing their environmental footprint. - **Water Management:** Water management organizations and utilities can adopt and promote the use of water-tracking devices to foster responsible water usage and implement targeted conservation measures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Hydration-Tracking Eco Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pul-smartcap.md) - [Water-Saving Bathroom Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergvattnet.md) - [In-Shower Water Meters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-bergvattnet.md) - [Closed-Loop Bathing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower.md) - [Real-Time Hydration Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geca.md) - [Rewarding Hydration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pl-smartcap.md) - [Health-Tracking Swimmer Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soswim-safety-bracelet.md) - [WiFi-Enabled Circular Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circular-shower.md) - [Accessible Smart Water Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-leak-monitor.md)
