Product Information
The Gx Smart Cap is an integrated Bluetooth smart cap designed to monitor liquid volume over a long time period. It combines mechanical and electronic smart solutions to provide insights into improving hydration for the body. The Smart Cap is invented to help users understand and track their hydration levels. Drinking enough water each day is crucial for regulating body temperature, keeping joints lubricated, preventing infections, delivering nutrients to cells, and keeping organs functioning properly. Being well- hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood. The Smart Cap device is placed on top of a bottle and provides customers with valuable information about their hydration levels. The cap is equipped with electronic components that are protected from both external and internal environmental conditions. External conditions include durability, sun protection, temperature, and mechanical damage. Internal conditions include durability, temperature, mechanical damage, and waterproofing.

Abstract
Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood. Smart Cap device on the top of a bottle can help you deeper understand and track the hydration issue relative to your body. -
The purpose of the Cap
The Smart Cap is invented to monitor a liquid volume over a long time period, and it would give GX’s customers great insight into how to improve the hydration of a body. -
What the Cap is
The Smart Cap is an integrated device that combines mechanical and electronic smart solutions. This is a rechargeable battery-operated device. The battery is powering the device for more than a week. A battery can be charged by a charging adaptor. There is a cable with a universal USB type A connector and a magnetic connector on the Gx Cap side. The Smart Cap measures the volume of a liquid in a bottle upon drinking action. The measured raw data is processed by the cap and sent via Bluetooth wireless communication to a mobile device. A mobile application can show this received and logged data in various combinations. The smart Cap has 21 multicolor LEDs used for various indications and notifications. -
Environmental conditions
Smart caps have electronic components that are protected from environmental conditions both external and internal. External conditions (outside world) include durability, sun protection, temperature, mechanical damage. Internal conditions (inside the bottle) include durability, temperature, mechanical damage and waterproof.
