HYDRATION TRACKING USING BASELINE CALIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18040248 titled 'HYDRATION TRACKING USING BASELINE CALIBRATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes methods and electronic devices for tracking a user's hydration level. Here are the key points:

  • The system determines the amount of liquid consumed by the user by using a sensor to detect the number of sips or swallows.
  • It calculates the user's hydration level based on the determined amount of liquid consumed.
  • The system can also determine the user's baseline consumption rate by counting previous sips or swallows while the user consumed a known amount of liquid.
  • The baseline consumption rate can be adjusted based on the type of liquid being consumed.
  • The system can also take into account the context in which the user is drinking and the type of liquid being consumed to determine the user's hydration level.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments include methods and electronic devices for tracking hydration of a user. Embodiments may include determining an amount of liquid consumed by the user based on a predetermined baseline consumption rate for the user and a number of sips or swallows detected by a sensor, and reporting an indication of a determined hydration level of the user based on the determined amount of liquid consumed. Some embodiments include determining the user's predetermined baseline consumption rate based on previously counted sips or swallows, either detected by the sensor or input by the user, while the user consumed a known amount of liquid. Some embodiments include selecting the predetermined baseline consumption rate for the user based on the determined type of liquid being consumed. Some embodiments include determining the hydration level of the user further based on a context in the user is drinking and/or the type of liquid being consumed.
