Rehydration Reminder

The Seal bottle isn’t what you think it is. You’re probably under the impression that the Seal has an illuminating cap that reminds you to drink water. Well actually, its purpose is completely different. The Seal is a two part smart-bottle that allows people with kidney diseases to regulate their fluid intake. The cap of the bottle uses patient details to determine how much and how frequently a patient must consume water or any fluid. An LED light on the cap alerts the user when they need to consume water, while an app allows the patient to see what rate they are drinking at, and how much prescribed water do they have left for the day.

Quite a stylish looking bottle for what essentially is a medical device, no?
