Core Concept

Beyond logging – promoting health through seamless interaction.

1. Market Needs & Core Pain Points

Insufficient hydration: Common among modern individuals, affecting metabolism, skin, and energy.
Poor drinking habits: Forgetting to drink, drinking too much at once, irregular timing.
Water quality concerns: Safety and temperature doubts, especially for infants and health-conscious users.
Personalized needs: Varying requirements in water volume, temperature, and additives for pregnant women, athletes, and patients.
Cumbersome experience: Current smart bottles rely heavily on phones, have intrusive alerts, and are hard to clean.
Data silos: Drinking data not integrated with health data (exercise, sleep, etc.).

3. System Architecture

1. Sensing & Data Collection

Flow sensor → UART → MCU
IMU ↔ FSM algorithm → I²C → MCU
NTC thermistors → ADC (multiple points) → MCU
TDS sensor → UART → MCU

2. Power System

Wireless charging → WR-111346-01 → BQ25611D → 3.7V Battery → TPS62743 → System 3.3V

3. Ultra-Low Power Design

MCU sleep mode: 2μA
Sensors total standby <10μA
IMU interrupt triggers → wake MCU and flow sensor

4. Design Highlights

1. Accurate Hydration Tracking

IMU + Flow Sensor + AI algorithm = Detects “lift-drink-sip” patterns precisely.

2. Modular Sensor Design

Magnetic Pogo Pin connectors for detachable, cleanable sensor module.

3. Power Optimization

Event-driven wake-up, low-leakage circuits → standby up to 5 years.

4. Thermal Interference Mitigation

def get_core_temp():
    t1 = read_ntc_bottom()
    t2 = read_ntc_wall()
    ambient = read_shtc3()
    return t1 + k*(t1 - t2)*(t1 - ambient)

5. Offline Voice Interaction

Supports on-device commands and alerts without internet connection.

5. Risk Assessment & Countermeasures

Risk	Countermeasure
Flow Sensor Clog	Use self-cleaning SLF3x + app alerts + software calibration
Wireless Overheat	Avoid coil under metal + thermistor limits temp >45°C
TDS Aging	Modular TDS for replacement + calibration prompt every 6 months

6. Prototype Development Roadmap

Stage 1 – Core Function Verification (MCU + Flow + IMU + Temp)
Stage 2 – Power Profiling & Optimization (Nordic Profiler Kit + IMU tuning)
Stage 3 – Structural Prototype (3D-printed modular cap + leak test)
Stage 4 – Pre-certification (FDA/LFGB soak test, IP67 immersion test)
