Carrying around a water bottle is only the first step to staying hydrated—the second is to actually remember to drink, as the HidrateMe smart water bottle prompts you to do.
This reusable smart water bottle itself comes in the form of a 24-ounce bottle size that is BPA-free, leak-proof and safe to put in the dishwasher. Inside the bottle there's also a small battery and a sensor, which tracks water intake. Rather than having to worry about logging your own water consumption, the app spells it out clearly in relation to the bottle's size.
Information collected by the sensor is sent to the accompanying smartphone app, which sends a cue back to the bottle for it to light up when it's time to drink more. With a sleek faceted design that's easy to carry from home to the office, the gym and back, HidrateMe is a smart way to stay healthy and hydrated on the go.
