    The document describes the LumeoStasis hydration control water jug, which is designed to address the problem of dehydration in hospital patients. It works by allowing patients to choose a desired daily drinking rate and corresponding color on the jug. As patients drink water throughout the day, the color displayed on the jug will change to match their progress towards their goal. This encourages patients to drink adequately in a simple and safe way, while also making it easier for nurses to monitor fluid intake.
