Your personal tailored beverage machine

 

Many people drink too little and some pour too much. Keeping your body hydrated just right can be a challenge for those who are too focused or too distracted. Hydrater notifies you when you have to drink based on your physique.

Technical explanation

 

The goal of this prototype is to pour the right amount of water based on your daily need for water. Different components are included to achieve this goal. A button at the top lets the user shift through different settings (child, woman, man) so the system can take into account how much water is necessary. An ultrasonic sensor at the front measures when a glass is placed in front of the Hydrater. When this is the case, a pump placed in the bottle starts running for a certain amount of time to pump the right amount. For example: if it has been one hour since the product poured the last drink, it will pour 150 mL (this is the amount of water an adult woman has to drink per hour)
