Droplet
- Reducing hospital admissions

Good hydration is essential for recovery from COVID-19 infection.
The Droplet drink reminding mug and tumbler ensures people are well hydrated while they recuperate. It senses if a person hasn’t been drinking and initiates visual and spoken reminders encouraging them to drink. Special messages of love and encouragement can be recorded by the user, their loved ones or their carers. This is particularly helpful for older people, who may need more reminding.
