Water Intake Recognition System Based On Pressure Sensors And Bluetooth Technology

Abstract

Dehydration is a very common problem especially among the elderly people and patients, and monitoring daily fluid intake of a person is vital to avoid dehydration and many other diseases. When we talk about the importance of water, it is an essential element of life. Automating the fluid intake monitoring can help to avoid the risk of losing the recommended daily fluid intake. An automated system can monitor and keep tracking the daily fluid intake and send reminders to the users and guide them towards wellbeing. In this research, a system is developed to help elderly people as well as patients to monitor their fluid intake. The system is developed with a special stand using pressure sensor and Bluetooth and an android application which provides records and reminders. It was observed that the system provides accurate results and it is a low cost solution.
