First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a smart water bottle that lights up when you're behind on drinking can help college students drink more water. Thirty students who currently drink less than recommended will use the bottle for a period, along with tracking their urine color and thirst. The goal is to see if this simple technology can improve hydration and help form healthy habits.
