How is Hydration Measured?

How does it work?

When you first put on your GoBe2, it will immediately start collecting data to analyze your body’s “normal” hydration level which is unique to you. Using the bioimpedance sensor and patented Healbe FLOW Technology, GoBe2 calculates your current level of hydration and compares it to your “normal” level of hydration. This learning process can take GoBe2 anywhere from two days to two weeks of consistently wearing the device. 

Healbe studied the skin tissue underneath the device's sensors on the user’s wrist. We found that your individual level of hydration directly correlates to the amount of fluid in your cells. This means hydration is not dependent on how much liquid you consume, it’s dependent on how much of that liquid your cells retain.

Why is staying hydrated important?

Drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body of waste, and acts as an appetite suppressant since studies show thirst can increase hunger. Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, making drop those extra pounds of water weight.

How do you know if you’re getting enough water?

A general rule is to check the toilet after you’ve gone to the bathroom. You’ll know you’re well-hydrated if your urine is clear or very light yellow in color. The darker the urine is, the more water you need to drink, especially if weight loss is your goal.
