Marketing leaflet - Jug
LumeoStasis® LumeoStasis® LumeoStasis®
The LumeoStasis water jug offers
care institutions a cost effective
way to reduce the load on care
staff, reduce patient healing
times and improve the quality
of patient care.
The jug uses simple technology
to measure the rate at which
patients are filling their glasses.
A colour changing LED informs
the patient of their drinking rate.
The jug offers a pleasurable
experience while encouraging
the patient to drink.
The benefits of the resulting
increase in water consumption
are reduced healing times,
better response to treatments
and reduced incidence of
some illnesses.

Patient hydration monitor
Reducing the load
Care staff are busy enough these days.
The LumeoStasis water jug offers nurses
a small LCD screen displaying the
patient’s total water consumption. This
frees up nurses time and reduces meas-
urement errors.
Reducing healing times
It has been clinically proven that good
hydration decreases healing times, as
well as improving response to treat-
ments and reducing the severity and
occurrence of some common illnesses
such as diabetes heart disease and
cancer. By failing to keep patients well
hydrated, care institutions are losing
millions of pounds annually.
Quality of care
The water jug has been designed to
comply with NHS guidelines.
It is double walled to keep water
chilled for longer. This is part of the RCN
hydration toolkit for hospitals.
Marketing leaflet - Cap
LumeoStasis® LumeoStasis® LumeoStasis®
The LumeoStasis bottle cap
offers sports people a simple,
inexpensive way of keeping
track of their hydration levels
and preventing dehydration.
It works by measuring your
drinking rate. If you are drinking
fast, the cap will turn pink. If you
drink slowly, the cap turns
purple.
Slow Fast
To track your hydration all you
have to do is choose your
target colour using the supplied
colour charts.
For example, an 85kg person
doing a mild jog in a
temperature of 25˚C would
have a target colour of green.
Bottle cap Once you know your target
colour, that’s it! Just keep your
Sports hydration monitor colour lit up!
Dehydration facts:
Dehydration causes loss of
performance before the thirst
sensation kicks in. A loss in
performance of 30% can result
from just 1-2% dehydration.
Hypohydration (excess of
water) and severe dehydration
are serious dangers in extended
sports events such as
endurance races. These
conditions can be fatal.
It is often difficult to tell if we are
dehydrated. Sometimes even
severe dehydration is not
detected by a victim. For this
reason every year hundreds of
athletes fall victim to
dehydration or hypohydration.
The LumeoStasis solves the
problem of dehydration in a
simple, affordable package.
 probably better to have around 10 or less colour variations on the chart to make the
target colour easily separable from its neighbours. While the colour on the device
will smoothly transition.
