SipSync

Automatic Water Consumption Tracking with Smart Hydration Insights

What it Does

  • Automatically tracks water intake throughout the day
  • Syncs hydration data to the Fitness Tech mobile app
  • Adjusts daily hydration goals based on activity level
  • Factors in body weight, weather, and exercise intensity
  • Sends smart reminders when you're falling behind on intake
  • Visualizes hydration trends and patterns over time

Tech Stack

Hardware

  • Flow sensor for volume measurement
  • ESP32 microcontroller
  • Temperature sensor
  • Rechargeable LiPo battery
  • Bottle-mount enclosure (3D printed)

Software

  • Fitness Tech app integration
  • Bluetooth LE data sync
  • Hydration algorithm (weight, activity, climate)
  • Cloud-synced hydration history

Smart Hydration Factors

SipSync doesn't just count ounces -- it considers the full picture to personalize your hydration targets

Activity Level

Pulls workout data from BioBand and the Fitness Tech app to increase hydration goals on active days

Weather & Climate

Uses local weather data to adjust for temperature and humidity, so you drink more when conditions demand it

Body Metrics

Accounts for body weight and personal profile to calculate a baseline daily water target unique to you

🕐

Time-of-Day Pacing

Distributes intake goals across your waking hours and sends nudges if you're falling behind schedule
