| The purpose of this product is to measure the purity of tap water, as well as encouraging customers to keep themselves hydrated throughout the day. Our main objective is to adapt a smart bottle into the everyday life of people who are concerned about the cleanliness of the tap water at their home, or in a foreign environment. Our intended audience are people who care about their health and are willing to download an app, to track their daily water intake. | The purpose of this product is to measure the purity of tap water, as well as encouraging customers to keep themselves hydrated throughout the day.

| * The Basic Trackers: There are bottles that log your daily intake, sure, but they are essentially one-trick ponies. They ignore the chemistry of the water entirely. They will tell you how much you drank, but not what you drank. There are bottles that clean itself and the water, but they do not mesure anything else. | * The Basic Trackers: There are bottles that log your daily intake, sure, but they are essentially one-trick ponies.

| + | The current smart bottle market is fragmented, and existing solutions fail to address the problem in a comprehensive and reliable way: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Conventional Reusable Bottles: Most reusable bottles function as simple containers without any intelligent features. They do not provide feedback on hydration behavior, water quality, or hygiene. As a result, users receive no guidance, while bottles can quickly become contaminated due to insufficient cleaning, leading to unnoticed hygiene risks. Many reusable ottle have a hygiene problem, because they are not cleaned proberly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Basic Tracking Solutions: some smart bottles focus on hydration tracking by measuring water intake and providing reminders. However, these solutions are limited in scope. They only quantify how much water is consumed but completely ignore water quality, mineral content, and contamination risks. Similarly, bottles with UV-C cleaning address hygiene but do not provide any data or insights beyond that single function. | ||
| + | * High-End but Limited Systems: More advanced products on the market are often expensive and tend to focus on isolated features rather than offering an integrated solution. In addition, they may rely on complex or unintuitive apps, which can reduce usability and discourage long-term engagement. The high price point also limits accessibility for a broader user base. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Overall, existing products address individual aspects such as tracking, cleaning, or design, but fail to combine hydration monitoring, hygiene, and water quality analysis into one coherent and user-friendly system. | ||
