Aquarate and Oysta are on a joint mission to enable people to continue to live their independent and active life for longer. Rebecca Taylor, CEO of Aquarate says “Oysta are giving people the freedom to continue to live on their own with the reassurance there when they need it. Technology-enabled care is the way forward in our ageing population and giving that extra bit of peace of mind to family and carers is so important! We’re very excited to hear some of the stories as a result of introducing the Hydracup to their lives.”

Mario Zuccaro, Founder of Oysta Technology adds “IntelliCare enables preventative and personalised care and we are delighted that by adding the Hydracup to our strength based platform, we can enhance that further. Through IntelliCare, carers will be able to monitor water intake and identify any signs of health problems caused by dehydration and take preventive action.”

Aquarate’s Hydracup automatically tracks a VIP’s fluid intake and displays this information in IntelliCare. The Hydracup can tell the difference between a sip, spill or pour, meaning only real consumption is recorded.

By monitoring fluid intake, carers can assess if VIPs are receiving enough fluid, or if they are at risk or showing early indicators of health issues enabling preventative care. Dehydration can also lead to falls and by monitoring fluid intake the fall risk is reduced.
