Many college students don't drink enough water, which can lead to health issues like obesity and kidney problems. This study uses Smart Water Bottles, which are special bottles that remind you to drink more water using mHealth technology. mHealth means using mobile technology to help with healthcare. The goal is to see if these bottles can help students drink more water by tracking changes like urine color, thirst levels, and body weight.
To join the study, you should drink less than 2.5 liters (for males) or 2.0 liters (for females) of water daily. You must also have a cell phone that can download the Smart Water Bottle app. You cannot join if you are pregnant, taking certain medications, or are trying to change your weight.
- The study focuses on increasing daily water intake using innovative technology.
- Participants will need a compatible cell phone to use the water bottle app.
- Potential health benefits include better hydration and reduced risk of kidney stones.
