Behavioural Intervention

Smart Water Bottle for Dehydration

Q: What is the current number of participants being enrolled in this research project?

Affirmative. Information on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this investigation is currently in search of suitable candidates. Originally posted on April 1, 2024, the most recent update was made on March 29, 2024. The study aims to enroll a total of 30 participants at one designated site.

Q: Is there an age restriction for potential participants, specifically regarding individuals who are older than 25 years?

Participants aged between 18 and 35 years old are sought for this study. For individuals under the legal age of adulthood, there are four separate studies available, while seven trials cater to those above 65 years old.

Q: Are new patients currently being accepted for enrollment in this medical study?

Affirmative, the details on clinicaltrials.gov highlight that this investigation is presently seeking candidates. The trial was first uploaded on April 1st, 2024 and last revised on March 29th, 2024. They aim to recruit a total of 30 participants at a single site.

Q: What are the main goals and purposes of this clinical investigation?

This medical trial aims to evaluate alterations in 24-hour urine osmolality during a two-week intervention period, comparing pre- and post-intervention data. Secondary endpoints consist of variations in copeptin levels, reflective of vasopressin activity; changes in body fat percentage assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; and modifications in urine color determined using an established color chart scale indicative of hydration status.

Study Summary

This trial focuses on how many people, especially males, do not drink enough water, which can lead to health issues like obesity and kidney disease. They are testing "Smart Water Bottles" that track

Who is the study for?

This trial is for college students who drink less fluid than recommended (<2.5L/day for males, <2.0L/day for females) and have a cell phone compatible with the Smart Water Bottle app.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if using a 'Smart Water Bottle', which tracks intake and prompts drinking, can help college students meet daily fluid recommendations to form healthier hydration habits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct side effects from participating in this trial as it involves increasing water consumption using technology; however, excessive water intake could potentially lead to overhydration.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Smart Water BottleExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in the intervention group will be prompted by the water bottle to drink (bottle will light up red) whenever they are behind on fluid intake recommendations for the day. The bottle will be linked to a smart phone application that participants will be instructed to download on their personal mobile device, but they will log into this device using a researcher provided username and password. The bottle will encourage male participants to consume 2.5 L and for female participants to consume 2.0 L of fluid. Participants will be asked to use this bottle to consume all water and enter any additional sources of fluid using the mobile application. The intervention group will also be asked to record their daily perceived thirst, first morning urine color, and body mass as a means of self-monitoring daily changes in hydration status, using a provided paper log.

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

The control group will be asked to go about daily activities as normal. They will not receive the water bottle and will not be asked to track daily measures of thirst, morning urine color, or body mass.
