PROJECT OVERVIEW

WaterSip is a startup app to help people who do not drink the daily recommended amout of water according their BMI. Not drinking enough water can cause dehydration and persistent headaches. Currently, many people ask family members/friends to remind them to drink water throughout the day but it can be burdensome with everyone involved.

PROBLEM

How might we create an app for people who do not drink enough water throughout the day so that they can be alerted/reminded during the times when they need to drink water to stay hydrated and healthy? Our approach to the problems to create a mobile application for people who need to be reminded to drink water throughout the day using a calendar system tracker and mobile haptic notification at set times in the day to create a meaningful progress towards staying healthy and hydrated.

  • Track how many times you drink water throughout the day and see a record of your progress throughout the month/year

  • Add notes and motivational reminders to drink water

  • Keep your virtual plant, Planty, alive by meeting daily goals
