DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective cutaway view of the smart hydration tracking system (100) is illustrated. The system (100) comprises a double-walled vacuum-insulated vessel (102) having an outer wall (104) with an inner face (106). A pair of vertical electrodes (108) is disposed on the inner face (106) of the outer wall (104) and spans the usable height of the vessel (102), thereby electrically isolating the electrodes (108) from a liquid contained within the vessel.
