Hydration Sensor
The effects of not drinking enough water are obvious. Dehydration causes severe thirst, fatigue and headaches. It's a dangerous situation for everyone, but something that plagues athletes the most, significantly impacting their performances.
The solution of dehydration is to consume more water. This seems simple, but is actually much more complicated than it sounds. Drinking too much water can be just as serious as not having enough. Though the sufferings caused by over-hydration may not be as publicized as its opposite, the effects are just as disastrous. In the most severe cases, being waterlogged can even cause acute kidney failure.
Fortunately, IpVenture's new hydration sensor assesses body fluids in less than a minute. Athletes, whether they're serious competitors or merely weekend warriors, don't have to guess how much water they need to ingest any longer. Our hydration sensor measures the amount of saliva in the mouth to assess the balance of bodily fluids.
So, what about relying on the suggested eight-glasses-of-water-per-day formula? That old-fashioned advice doesn't take body weight into consideration. Robert Yang, nutrition consultant, Titleist Golf Institute, says, "If a female golfer weighs 100 pounds, eight glasses of water may cause over-hydration. On the other hand, if a male golfer weighs 200 pounds, eight glasses of water falls far below the correct amount."
IpVenture's innovative technology provides a personalized analysis of an individual's water needs rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. Given that 75 percent of the human body is water, people can compromise their overall health and well being if the amount of water in their tissues and vital organs is less than ideal.
If you're in the sports business, you know that athletes want to be in the best possible health to optimize physical performance. Proper hydration is one of the most important requirements for them to achieve their goals. IpVenture has made achieving the proper hydration level both easy and inexpensive. Two versions are as shown below: A disposable version costing less than a dime; and an electronic version, which is not more expensive than an electronic thermometer.
