LAQA SmartCup
The digital hydration management solution for care and healthcare facilities
Initial situation
With increasing age, the body water content of humans decreases and the natural thirst sensation is reduced. In conjunction with behavioral changes, this may result in a significant increase or greater severity of dehydration-related medical conditions and symptoms in the elderly.
Follow
These range from everyday complaints and manifestations such as headaches, difficulty concentrating and disorientation, to loss of cognitive abilities and severe chronic diseases.
Solution
With our hydration management, we offer a digital total solution as a combination of a smart drinking cup and intelligent data management. While the SmartCup reminds the user individually to drink, the intelligent data management ensures continuous monitoring of drinking behavior.
LAQA Hydration Management with the SmartCup in detail
Step 1
Based on personal parameters such as age, height, gender, weight, etc., a recommended daily drinking amount is determined for the user.
Step 2
Drinking quantities consumed from the SmartCup are transmitted to our data center and compared with the target drinking quantity.
Step 3
The time for the next drink reminder is calculated in real time and transmitted to the SmartCup and thus to the user.
Step 4
Consumed drinking quantities are transferred to a drinking log and can be retrieved via a web interface or, if necessary, transmitted directly to third-party systems.
