Hydration How AI Analyses It
The AI behind reading hydration — and why explainability is what makes it trustworthy.
Hydration status affects energy, cognition, kidney health and recovery — and it changes hour to hour.
What the models do
Models trained on annotated data classify and quantify urine concentration and colour and voiding frequency across the day, converting raw capture into structured signals. Chronic mild dehydration is linked to fatigue, headaches and kidney-stone risk.

Why explainability matters
A score nobody understands is a score nobody acts on. Every insight about hydration pairs with its contributing features, time window and a plain-language rationale.
- Urine concentration and colour
- Voiding frequency across the day
- Response to activity and climate
“The test you take every day beats the perfect test you take once a year.”
Human in the loop
The aim is not to replace clinical judgement but to feed it better, earlier, more objective data about hydration.
