Abstract:
As we are moving towards a more digital age, our lives are getting busier but
our problems stay the same. Health problems like Fatigue, kidney issues, and
poor skin health are because of inadequate water intake.
There are products designed for adults but children are more prone to
dehydration. As the person gets older, it becomes harder to induce a habit;
therefore, childhood is a critical period.
Via different research techniques (surveys, interviews, and observation) I
deduced that habit development at the age of 5-9 can help children have
sufficient water intake. Therefore, behavior change can drastically affect their
lifestyle whilst eliminating the mother's responsibility to teach her child.
Based on the findings, I designed an interactive bottle that engages the child,
inducing the habit of drinking water and calculating daily water intake. Through
behavioral studies, I found that a habit can be developed unconsciously by using
my device regularly.
The analysis reflected; sufficient water intake can eliminate all the major
problems related to dehydration escalating faster. Behavior change can majorly
affect the overall lifestyle and lead us towards sustainable life.
