Wearable Device Uses Biometrics to Monitor Hydration

Austin, Texas-based LVL Technologies has a series of specialized health and
fitness wearables that can track the body's level of hydration.

Dustin Freckleton, the founder of the startup, told R&D Magazine that the
idea for his company came to him after a troubling health experience during
medical school.

"During my first year of medical school, I suffered a stroke that left me
paralyzed on half of my body as a result of exercise-induced dehydration. I
didn't realize that dehydration could cause that, said Freckleton. "It was
somewhat terrifying as a 24 year old who kind of prided myself in knowing a
lot about the body, since that's what I was studying, not realizing that
those type of effects were even possible with something as seemingly small as
dehydration."
