The Challenge
Physically demanding jobs increase the risk of dehydration – with direct effects on performance, safety, and health. Many employees drink too little or too late, because the workday leaves little room for conscious routines.
The health4you initiative needed an easily accessible digital solution that delivers health knowledge in a low-threshold way and supports employees exactly where it counts: right in their everyday work, without extra effort.
The Approach
Individual Hydration Targets, Tracking, and Gamification
dgtl.ai built an app that supports healthy hydration as part of daily life – data-driven, motivating, and interactive. Core goals: individual hydration target calculation, continuous drink tracking, delivering health knowledge in small, easy-to-digest units, and encouraging sustainable healthy routines through gamification.
As digital implementation partner, dgtl.ai designed a modular app with a clear user journey: understand, apply, stick with it. The architecture is scalable, mobile-optimized, and tailored specifically to target groups with physically demanding jobs. The focus was on fast usability, intuitive navigation, and clear, practical information.
