43% of Americans don’t drink enough water, and another 7% don’t drink water at all. So Partnership for a Healthier America created the Drink Up Fountain to encourage Americans to drink more water. 

We used a combination of Raspberry Pi, Makey Makey, Arduino Micro controller, a custom software, and, of course, a human being, we created Hydro-Touch Technology to transform the act of drinking water into an electrical circuit. So, the more water the users drink, the more they hear prerecorded audio messages reminding them of the power and goodness of water.
