Reminds elderly people at adjustable times to drink something.
Elderly people often no longer have a feeling of thirst and forget to drink regularly. The body then „dehydrates“ as the medics say, it runs dry. By means of the noise of a bell, a noise of pouring water into a glass followed by a recorded message, the “Thirst Reminder” reminds to drink something at times that were adjusted before. The message may be recorded before (e.g. by a close relative). The reminder is especially observed if a familiar voice (e.g. the grandchild, daughter) addresses the elderly person by his/her first name that he/she must drink something.
