Dreep — a water appliance for personalised vitamin dosing.
Dreep, developed as VH2O, is a connected water appliance that adds each person’s own supplement doses to the water as it is poured. The client came to us with an interface sketch on paper. We developed the embedded software and the touchscreen product it runs, along with the electronics architecture and hardware integration underneath.
Supplements taken without anyone having to remember them.
The appliance holds a circular tray of disposable liquid supplement cartridges and dispenses hot, ambient or cold water. Each person in the household has a profile on the machine that records the supplements and doses they have been advised to take.
The routine is one interaction: tap a name, choose a temperature, take the glass. The machine meters that profile’s supplements into the pour, so the intake happens as part of drinking water rather than as a separate daily task with its own boxes and reminders.
Profiles can be set up on the machine itself or from the companion application, which the appliance pairs with over the household network.
A sketch on paper, taken to a working appliance.
The industrial design and the mechanical build of the appliance are the client’s. Our scope was the part of the product a user touches and the electronics behind it: the screen software, the control of the dispensing hardware, the electronics architecture and the connected setup.
An interface concept, now a working appliance.
