Hydration management

1. Core Purpose

Staying hydrated is one of the simplest but most powerful ways to improve your health. Elfie’s Hydration feature helps you track your daily water intake, build healthy drinking habits, and understand how hydration impacts your energy, focus, and overall wellbeing.

2. Key Functionalities

• Water Intake Tracking
  • Log every glass, bottle, or cup of water with just a few taps.
  • Flexible portion sizes so you can record drinks in the way that feels natural.
• Hydration Score
  • Each day contributes to a daily Hydration Score, showing how close you are to your recommended intake.
  • Scores adapt based on your age, weight, activity level, and climate.
• Personalized Reminders
  • Gentle nudges help you remember to drink throughout the day — especially during busy schedules.
  • Tips encourage smart hydration (e.g., water before coffee, or extra fluids on hot days).
• Gamified Motivation
  • Earn Elfie Coins every time you log your water and improve your Hydration Score.
  • Use coins for rewards or donate them to charity, turning healthy choices into real-world impact.
• Education & Quizzes
  • Learn why hydration matters for weight control, heart health, skin, and energy.
  • Quick quizzes make learning fun and reinforce good habits.

3. Behavioral Design

• Consistency first: Rewards are based on regular logging, not perfection.
• No guilt: Forget to log? Just pick up again — every glass counts.
• Visible progress: Watching your Hydration Score rise during the day helps keep you motivated.

4. Medical Integrity

• Developed with input from doctors and nutrition experts.
• Recommendations based on evidence-backed hydration guidelines.
• Built with strong privacy protections (GDPR, HIPAA, PDPA, etc.).

5. Why It Stands Out

• Holistic: Hydration is integrated with Elfie’s Weight, Nutrition, and Sleep features.
• Supportive: Encourages steady improvement, not strict rules.
• Rewarding: Makes drinking water feel good, fun, and meaningful.

✅ In short: Elfie’s Hydration feature makes drinking enough water simple, motivating, and rewarding, helping you stay energized, focused, and healthy every day.
