Quench App
Design and new media Module Project
The Quench app helps manage hydration by regulating fluid intake. It is linked to the Quench water bottle, which collects data through technology and translates it into the app. The app measures fluid intake, and dehydration levels then sends notifications for when to drink water, along with health tips, risks, and benefits. Additionally, the app has a warming and cooling feature that can be activated through the software and a community-building feature that helps peers bond while making hydration fun.
Problem
International students often struggle with maintaining proper hydration levels due to the challenges of adjusting to a new environment, academic pressures, and cultural differences in dietary habits. Dehydration can lead to various health issues, including fatigue, headaches, and reduced cognitive function, which can further impact their academic performance and overall well-being.
