Sponge for caregivers

Know they’re hydrated. Before it becomes a problem.

Dehydration is one of the most common and preventable causes of hospital readmissions in older adults. The Sponge Caregiver Dashboard gives families and care teams real-time visibility into hydration — so you can act before symptoms appear.

The problem

Dehydration in older adults is silent — until it isn’t

Older adults lose their sense of thirst as they age, making chronic dehydration common and easy to miss. The consequences are serious, costly, and largely preventable.

40%

of hospital readmissions in elderly patients are linked to dehydration-related complications

#1

cause of preventable UTIs in nursing home residents is inadequate daily fluid intake

$5.5B

spent annually on dehydration-related hospitalizations that could largely be prevented

Statistics sourced from peer-reviewed literature on geriatric hydration and hospital readmission data.

The solution

The Sponge Caregiver Dashboard

Real-time hydration monitoring

See exactly how much each person has consumed throughout the day. Updated automatically as the Sponge Clip syncs to the app — no manual logging required from the patient.

Goal tracking and alerts

Set daily hydration targets for each patient or family member. The dashboard highlights anyone falling behind so you can intervene early rather than reactively.

Multi-patient view

Monitor multiple people from a single dashboard. Designed for families managing elderly parents and for care facilities tracking hydration across residents.

Works with any water bottle

The Sponge Clip attaches to whatever bottle or cup the patient already uses. No disruption to their routine, no new equipment to learn.
