Epicore Biosystems

Know when to drink.

Connected Hydration measures sweat loss, sodium loss, skin temperature and motion through a reusable electronic module worn in a washable armband or a single-use patch. Vibration alerts tell workers when to rehydrate even without a phone, while the mobile app gives personalised fluid and electrolyte recommendations. Safety teams see anonymised, population-level trends in a cloud dashboard to adjust work-rest schedules and heat-stress controls. The module is certified for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

Why the Connected Hydration

Sweat, measured

The module estimates whole-body sweat loss and sweat sodium loss alongside skin temperature and motion through the shift.

Alerts without a phone

Vibration alerts trigger when fluid deficits reach actionable levels, so workers are warned even in low-connectivity areas.

Personal recommendations

The app turns each worker's data into fluid and electrolyte recommendations and recovery guidance, building more consistent hydration habits.

Privacy by design

Individual data is visible only to the worker; safety teams receive anonymised, aggregated group insights for heat-stress planning.

Rated for hazardous areas

The electronic module is certified for Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 locations to UL and CSA 60079 standards.

Where it is used

Refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, construction, and other heat-exposed or PPE-intensive industrial work.
