Are you drinking enough water? If you are anything like me and drink entirely too much coffee, probably not. Well we may have just come across the solution. One new crowdfunding campaign wants to help people answer the above question. The Hug, from Caktus:

According to Caktus:

The Hug is a convenient solution that helps you stay properly hydrated. It consists of a sensor band and a companion mobile app. Just slip the sensor around your water bottle and let the app do the rest…The Hug sensor is a band that you can easily fit around almost any water bottle. Using motion data and algorithms, it tracks the amount of water you drink and sends the data to The Hug app.¹

The Hug fits on just about any size and any material bottle, and connects to iOS devices via Bluetooth. That’s all well and good, but the real star of the product is the companion app:

The Hug App has a ton of features. First and foremost, it measures how much water you drink. It will tell you if you are on track, and will give you a nudge when you need to drink more water. Further, the app integrates with the Fitbit and other health trackers to provide a holistic view of hydration:

The Hug app works as your Personal Hydration Coach. It receives automatic drink inputs from the sensor and calculates your optimal hydration level. And discreetly reminds you with push notifications if you’re not keeping up with your hydration goals…The Hug app works as your Personal Hydration Coach.
