# Hydration-Reminding Devices The 'Ulla' Provides Smart Water Reminders by Glowing Between Sips By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-09-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-water References: [ulla.io](https://www.ulla.io/) Ulla provides [automatic smart water drinking reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drink-water) to keep users hydrated throughout the day. Designed for existing bottles, this device doesn’t force users to buy a new product, rather it can adapt and hook on to any water kind of bottle. Ulla attaches on with a silicone strap and flashes when it's been too long since your last drink. It automatically detects these periods, aiming to help users drink about one glass of water an hour. While various [smart water bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinko) exist, this device can make any bottle "smarter," attaching on and providing subtle but clear visual reminders. Since [water hydration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-hydration-tracker) is an easy way to feel good, focused and energized, it is important to remember to do this at work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Water Bottles:** Opportunity to innovate by creating smart water bottles that can provide automatic hydration reminders. - **Hydration Tracking Devices:** Opportunity to develop devices that can track and remind users to stay hydrated throughout the day. - **Adaptable Hydration Accessories:** Opportunity to create accessories that can attach to any water bottle and provide hydration reminders. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to incorporate hydration reminder features into their products. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for the health and wellness industry to develop and market hydration tracking devices. - **Retail:** Opportunity for retail companies to offer adaptable hydration accessories as a value-added product. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rewarding Hydration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pl-smartcap.md) - [Hydration Level Tracking Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterh.md) - [Lightweight Hydration Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidratespark-pro.md) - [Hydration Tracking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-watch.md) - [Real-Time Hydration Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geca.md) - [Connected Hydration-Tracking Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akamai-smart-water-bottle.md) - [Connected Hydration-Tracking Eco Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pul-smartcap.md) - [Sleek Elevated Flat-Shaped Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watr.md) - [Intelligent Hydration Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterh-smart-water-bottle.md)
