1 Research Background

1.1 The Importance of Drinking Water for Young People

Teenagers are in an important stage of growth and development, and their body water content is higher than adults, so the need for water is also more urgent. Studies have shown that water shortage in teenagers can affect their physical function and cognitive abilities, and even cause problems such as headaches, fatigue, and inattention. Long-term water shortage can also increase the risk of urinary tract infections, stones and other diseases, and even affect kidney function.

According to the research report on Juvenile Drinking Water Behavior, most teenagers' daily drinking water consumption fails to reach the recommended value, and some teenagers even have serious water shortage. In the face of this situation, the healthy drinking water reminder device emerged at the historic moment, through intelligent technology to monitor the individual drinking water volume, to provide scientific and reasonable drinking water reminder for teenagers, to help them develop good drinking habits.

The healthy water reminder can not only customize the personalized drinking plan according to teenagers' body data and living habits, but also remind them to replenish water to keep their body balance. Through real-time monitoring and regular feedback, help teenagers establish the habit of regular drinking water and thus improve their quality of life and health. Let the healthy drinking water reminder device become the right-hand man of teenagers' healthy life, ensuring that they can easily reach enough water every day, enjoy a healthy and happy life.

In the future, with the continuous progress and improvement of intelligent technology, the healthy drinking water reminder device will certainly become a good helper for teenagers in a healthy life.

2.2 Drinking Water Volume Monitoring Principle

When designing a healthy water reminder, the first need to identify the daily water needs of teenagers [2]. According to expert advice, teenagers should drink a percentage of their body weight. Normally, the daily water intake for adolescents can be calculated using the following formula:

The amount of water required per kilogram of body weight can be based on the age and sex of the adolescent. In general, adolescents need 30-30-40 ml [3]. The specific value can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Through this formula, we can calculate the daily amount of water needed for each adolescent, thus providing a reference for the design of a healthy drinking water reminder device.

4 Experiments and Results Analysis

4.1 Experimental Design

In the experiment, we designed a healthy water reminder device designed to help adolescents ensure that their daily water intake meets the recommended standards. The smart device can automatically calculate the amount of water needed every day according to the user's weight, activity level and temperature, and help the user to drink water [7] on time through the reminder function.

To verify the effectiveness of this healthy water reminder, we recruited a group of volunteers to participate in a week-long experiment. Volunteers used a reminder device to record daily water intake and compared to another group of volunteers who did not. We collected the daily drinking water data of each volunteer during the experiment and conducted statistical analysis.

In the experiment, we first conducted a detailed weight and activity level survey for all volunteers to determine the amount of water they needed each day, [8]. Then, they were divided into two groups, one using a healthy water reminder and the other group not. During the experiment, we would send reminder messages to the volunteers daily, reminding them to drink water and record their water intake data.

4.2 Data Collection and Analysis

We conducted data collection through laboratory control variables, and used a variety of scientific methods for data analysis. We set different drinking water reminder frequencies to observe the teenagers' drinking water. We compared the amount of water consumed in the experimental and control groups to evaluate the effect of healthy drinking water reminder on the drinking habits of adolescents.

Experimental data were collected to recording water intake and frequency for each participant through the healthy water reminder itself and the smartphone app. We collated and analyzed the collected data using statistics and reached some important conclusions. For example, healthy water reminders can effectively increase drinking water in adolescents, especially in exercise or hot weather. Through data analysis, we also found that the setting frequency and method of the reminder device have a significant impact on the reminder effect, and different reminder strategies may need to be developed for different individuals.

Overall, we verified the effectiveness of healthy drinking water alerts in helping adolescents establish healthy drinking habits through the collection and analysis of experimental data. This not only provides us with scientific basis, but also provides an important reference for the development and optimization of healthy water reminder in the future [9].
