One of the common but overlooked problems faced by students today is dehydration. With packed academic schedules, hostel routines, and the constant use of gadgets, students often forget to drink enough water. This directly impacts focus, energy, and health. Current solutions such as mobile reminders or fitness watches are not effective enough, since students tend to ignore phone notifications or do not invest in expensive fitness devices. There is a clear gap in the market for a simple, affordable solution dedicated to hydration.

My idea is to create a Smart Water Bottle that tracks water intake and reminds users to stay hydrated. The bottle would include a hydration sensor that records how much water is consumed throughout the day. It would connect via Bluetooth to a mobile application that sets personalized daily goals. The bottle itself can glow or vibrate gently to remind the user to drink water, making it harder to ignore than just a phone notification.

This problem matters to me because I have personally experienced headaches, tiredness, and lack of concentration during classes, which were later caused by dehydration. Staying hydrated improves learning, boosts mood, and even helps in physical activities like sports and gym training.

The main beneficiaries of this idea are students, working professionals, athletes, and health-conscious people. By making hydration visible and engaging, this idea provides a practical wellness solution that fits into everyday life and fills a current gap in the market.
