With 89% of people not drinking enough water in everyday life and evidence that good hydration improves athletic performance, Vital Hydration assists amateur athletes by educating them about how much to drink before, during and after a race and supporting their hydration through an app and companion product. The project was inspired by personal experience training for a half marathon and difficulty finding relevant information.

The app allows users to record daily statistics of water intake, displaying and tracking information visually. Informative articles and insights are included along with opportunities to connect and chat with friends. The community section allows users to see people signed up for races in their area. Additionally, the map shows locations of water fountains helping plan running routes to elevate training with the right hydration. Users earn badges and rewards for engagement in the app.

Since at many races only refills of water are provided along the route, the companion Vital bottle stores electrolyte tablets for enhanced performance within the lid. This means users can avoid carrying tablets in bags and belts when running. With a simple twist of the bottle's lid, electrolyte tablets drop into the water one-by-one whenever needed throughout a race.
