We've seen super-advanced solutions for purifying water, printing water, hacking water and, yes, even (partially) boiling water. None of them are of any use, though, unless we actually remember to drink the stuff -- preferably at least 2.5 liters of it per day. Fortunately, technology can assist with that too, either by taking the ECG approach to detecting dehydration, or -- in the case of the prototype shown after the break -- by monitoring how often we reach for our canteen.
The Sleeve, designed by an Estonian company called Jomi, hooks around a bottle and periodically weighs it, then sends information over Bluetooth to a mobile app that can analyze our drinking habits and warn us if we're not taking the whole thing seriously enough. It's being prepped for a Kickstarter launch at some point in the future, alongside a smaller version called the Jomi Band that will use accelerometers instead of scales. Both models inevitably make a number of assumptions -- not least that the stuff in our flasks won't actually dehydrate us further -- but they could be the perfect to accompaniment to all those food metrics we keep hearing about.
