Smart Hydration is a whole system, data driven solution delivering wellness, healthspan and longevity for care home residents through improved hydration. Using wi-fi enabled smart devices we will connect care home residents, carers, and managers with accurate, real time data on hydration. _"If you get hydration right, it is absolutely life-changing"_ **_Dr Lisa Wilson_** **_Author of Hydration & Older People in the UK for the Parliamentary Hydration Forum_** By the end of the project we intend to have: * data proving the efficacy of the product in reducing ill health in a care home environment; * data proving the efficacy of the product in driving efficiencies in the delivery of care * clear user feedback to inform any changes to product design or user interface; and * clear user feedback on any additional functionalities which should be developed.
