Hidrate

Hidrate makes a smart water bottle that syncs with your phone to tell you how much water you should drink each day, remind you when to drink, and track your hydration progress over time.

The idea was brought to life at a Google Startup weekend in 2014 in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. In just 54 hours, they built a water bottle that tracked water intake and synced to a mobile app on a smartphone. The team worked evenings and weekends for 7 months before being accepted into the Sprint Mobile Health Accelerator Program powered by Techstars in 2015 in Kansas City, MO.
