TrinkTracker - Assistenzsystem zur Unterstützung adäquater Flüssigkeitsaufnahme in der Pflege

Das Projekt TrinkTracker will für eine ausreichende Flüssigkeitsversorgung bei älteren Menschen sorgen. Dazu wird ein technikgestützter Trinkassistent entwickelt, der neben der automatischen Erfassung und Dokumentation der getrunkenen Flüssigkeitsmenge den Nutzer auch animieren soll, täglich eine ausreichende Menge zu trinken. Das TrinkTracker-System soll somit Sicherheit im Trinkmanagement geben und wird sowohl für die professionelle als auch die häusliche Pflege entwickelt. Es soll die Pflegenden unterstützen und entlasten sowie die Älteren zum ausreichenden Trinken motivieren.
