Summary
This trial will test if using tech tools to monitor water intake can help people with a history of kidney stones better follow their doctor's recommended water consumption.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who've had a kidney stone in the last 5 years, can use a smartphone, and are willing to wear a Fitbit daily for a year. They should drink less than 2 liters of fluid per day. It's not for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy, people moving away or having surgery soon, on certain medical treatments, with specific health conditions that affect fluid intake or urine collection.
What is being tested?
The sipIT study tests if tools like wrist sensors, smart water bottles, and apps can help people with past kidney stones follow doctor's advice on drinking enough fluids. Participants will use these tech aids to see if they improve their hydration habits.
What are the potential side effects?
There may be no direct side effects from using the sipIT tools themselves; however, increasing fluid intake could potentially lead to more frequent urination. People with certain health conditions might have risks associated with higher fluid consumption.
