Introduction
One in four adults walks around mildly dehydrated every day—an invisible drain on productivity, mood, and long-term health. AquaTrack removes the guesswork by turning your phone into a personal hydration assistant that calculates your ideal intake, makes logging effortless, and keeps you on track with science-backed nudges.
Why Proper Hydration Matters
Water powers every cellular reaction in the body. A shortfall of just 1 % of body weight can lower productivity by up to 12 %, while a 3 % deficit can tank concentration by nearly a third. Over months and years, chronic dehydration raises the risk of kidney stones, urinary infections, and even cognitive decline.
Brain & Mood
A 2-year study found that older adults who stay well-hydrated retain significantly more cognitive function than those who do not.
In healthy women, a 1.4 % fluid deficit triggered headaches, fatigue, and higher task difficulty ratings.
Dehydration elevates irritability and anxiety scores, especially during complex tasks or late-day slumps.
Body & Performance
Water lubricates joints, regulates temperature, and can improve endurance by up to 10 % in warm-weather training.
Adequate fluids help flush kidney stone-forming crystals and support healthy blood pressure.
Randomized trials show that increasing daily water can boost weight-loss results by 44–100 % versus control groups.
How Much Water Do You Really Need?
Guidelines from the National Academies peg adequate total fluid intake at roughly 3.7 L for men and 2.7 L for women, yet needs rise with temperature, altitude, activity, or pregnancy. AquaTrack adapts the target to your unique profile—age, weight, sex, activity level—and lets you fine-tune it any time.
User Flow: From Install to Optimal Hydration
Step 1 – Install & Lightning-Fast Sign-Up

Step 2 – Personalize Your Goal
Enter age, weight, gender, and activity level. AquaTrack’s algorithm combines scientific guidelines with your metrics to set a daily water target you can edit later.
Step 3 – All you need - is one tap
Add the required amount of drinking water with one click. You can edit this amount with one movement.
Step 4 – Multi-Beverage Support
Coffee, tea, juice — each beverage has its own hydration factor, ensuring 250 ml of latte doesn’t count the same as 250 ml of water. You can save custom drinks to log even faster.
Step 5 – Visual Progress & Insights
Weekly charts reveal intake versus goal and hydration streaks.
Step 6 – Challenges & Reminders
Boost motivation with gamified challenges: go alcohol-free for seven days, drink your full quota before 8 p.m., or swap soda for water. Smart push notifications adapt to your schedule and have been shown to increase adherence by up to 27 % in similar mHealth studies.
High-Impact Problems AquaTrack Solves
Hidden Dehydration: Surveys show 43 % of university students and 36 % of office workers fail to meet daily fluid needs.
Lost Productivity: Even a 1 % hydration drop can cut workplace output by 12 % and gloomy afternoons by 20 %.
Health Risks: Chronic shortfall raises kidney-stone formation, UTI recurrence, and long-term cognitive decline.
Confusion Over Portions: Most apps assume all drinks hydrate equally—AquaTrack factors in caffeine and sugar.
By turning hydration science into a tap-friendly routine, AquaTrack helps you feel sharper, train harder, and safeguard your long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does coffee or tea count toward my goal?
Yes—but not at 100 %. AquaTrack’s beverage library assigns coffee an 60 % hydration factor and tea 80 %, reflecting their mild diuretic effects.
Can I overdose on water?
It’s rare but possible during endurance sports. AquaTrack flags intake that exceeds safe hourly limits and prompts you to pause.
