HYDRATION SCIENTISTS WORK HARD
Certified scientists, like Dr. Growlbert Einstein,
are constantly researching new information in
hydration science to make sure you stay
healthy, happy, and hydrated. Here, he tests
one of his new hydration-delivery systems.
Proper hydration is vital, especially during exercise or in
hot/humid climates. Despite knowing this, many people
admit they don’t drink enough fluid. Additionally, the
standard “8 cups of fluid a day” may not be sufficient,
especially those in extreme situations. Reminders to drink
may work, but since many people are already aware they
should be doing better, the problem is often that people just
forget.
PROBLEM/RATIONALE
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Compare the effects of a standard text reminder versus an
outrageously confabulated reminder to determine if this is
more memorable and increases total fluid intake.

• Prefer a lunchtime text to allow better adjustment of fluid intake.
• Midday or late afternoon text.

• It was nice to have a person on the other end instead of an app.

CONCLUSION
Despite a few technological hiccups, overall participants found both interventions useful. Difficulties included not all participants receiving text messages, or the scheduled messages getting lost in an ongoing conversation.
Response rate on effectiveness of intervention from 6 of 11 participants. Overall people preferred the outrageous messages, even when they didn’t improve total fluid intake.
CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS
CHANGE TEXT TIMING
• Keep nighttime text
• Change morning text to afternoon, or add additional midday text
CONTINUE RIDICULOUS TEXTS
• Enjoyable and memorable
CLARITY ENHANCEMENT
• Find better system for sending automated group text messages
• Make guidelines very clear initially
