Thus, regular hydration is vital for human beings because improper hydration leads to diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, bladder stones, and kidney issues. However, maintaining a sufficient and regulated water intake is challenging for many personal as the livelihood, i.e., busy life schedule, is getting complicated, and sometimes due to limited access to clean water. To this end, the SmartOne water bottle was introduced to enable effective management of daily water requirements and to ensure users drink good quality water. The initial prototype of the water bottle was implemented as a combination of hardware and mobile application, and it was evaluated in terms of measuring water goal, quality, drink and sift event detection.
