Hydrating sustainably just got more REWARDING with the new myPATH app!
Download on the Apple App Store Now
The myPATH app tracks your hydration goals through encouraging reminders and by earning Karma points you can use at the PATH refillit shop. Every refill you make is counted as one less single use plastic bottle in our waste stream (woohoo!). An app that is good for your health, good for the planet, good Karma all around! Learn more about how the myPATH app works, and why it's the most rewarding hydration tool around.
While other hydration apps are loaded with ads, charge subscriptions, require upgrades for full usage, and send basic alerts that feel more like guilt than encouragement, the tech team at PATH wanted to give everyone a FREE encouraging app to remind you to drink water, stay healthy, and take care of the planet while you're at it, all with a fun, rewarding system.
How the myPATH App works
Register your myPATH bottle
Have you ever wished there was a free hydration app that doesn’t waste your time watching 30 second ads just to track your hydration? Getting started with the myPATH app is super fast and easy. The first thing you'll do is register your bottle. All that means is you'll choose the PATH bottle you will be refilling so that a good estimation can be made for your daily hydration goals.
Lock in your tailored daily hydration goal
How many times have you ended your day and realized you didn’t drink the amount of water you were supposed to? Do you know the recommended water intake for your level of activity and weight? We’ve got you covered! PATH has made it easy to remind yourself to hydrate before you get a headache from being dehydrated.
You can manually enter a bottle by choosing the most popular PATH bottle, or take a photo of your PATH bottle. Then, you will enter parameters to help determine your ideal daily hydration goal.
Depending on your weight, activity level, and your area's climate, the app will set a hydration goal for you. For example, based on the personal information you share and the size of your bottle, the app will help you set a goal, such as refilling 6 times a day, to meet your hydration goals. That goal will be locked into the app unless you need to change your settings and update your goal, say if you move to a cooler climate or your weight changes.
Earn Karma points with every refill
Next up, when it's time to refill, you will tap the refill button in the app, and when you place the phone next to your refill spot, the myPATH app will listen for its cue to log the official refill that earns you Karma points. As you build Karma points, you can use them in the refillit shop on the website.
Pop quiz!
Do you know why PATH is the very first water brand to launch a refilling hydration app?
Because PATH doesn't actually want to sell you water! PATH would rather see you refill, giving you the option to stay sustainably hydrated. The goal is to make reuse the number one option so people reduce or even eliminate purchasing single use bottled water.
Now is the time to download the myPATH app
The world is facing two rising problems, dehydration, as global temperatures climb, and single use plastic waste, which is nearing a breaking point. Both share the same solution, MORE REFILLING!
And the great thing is that people are actively looking for an accessible digital app that can really support them in remembering to hydrate. The myPATH app is the best hydration app because it delivers what users want most, help with hydration and sustainability.
The app itself is built into the PATH business model of refilling, meaning it’s free to use. Since most other apps are filled with ads and upgrades, the myPATH app is easy to incorporate into your daily habits and changes the game by offering rewards for hydrating, called Karma points.
myPATH app works for increasing the uptake of water
Hydration apps have become a useful tool for those who want to stay on track with their hydration goals. One study found that a 5 week reminder intervention program helped increase average water intake by 29%. A simple nudge that increased water drinking also showed participants increased their memory and ability to concentrate.
The health industry has a special interest in hydration reminder apps, especially for improving conditions related to kidney and urinary tract health, noting that hydration reminders that support hydration goals and education are most useful for helping people avoid or mitigate the symptoms of dehydration related conditions.
The myPATH app is a powerful game changer on the hydration app scene because of the reward driven model that uses encouragement rather than guilt. It feels good to log hydration, earn rewards aka Karma points, and watch the impact you’ve made on the planet with every single use plastic bottle you avoid.
The myPATH app encourages hydration for everyone, tailored to you
The myPATH app is helpful for everyone, from those chasing intense fitness goals who want to ensure proper hydration to those who get lost in work or study and forget to drink water. It helps you avoid the unpleasant headaches or stomach cramps that come with dehydration. The myPATH app empowers people to take their hydration seriously and gain momentum on the positive impact it will have.
Often, by the time we realize we're dehydrated, it's already too late and symptoms have crept up on us. People living in very hot climates around the world can greatly benefit from the reminder to hydrate. People working, training, and performing outdoors in hotter climates all need a helpful nudge to keep their hydration levels in check. One study of 139 outdoor workers found that 70% were dehydrated to a level that could negatively impact their thinking and movement. Needless to say, we could all use a hand with hydration.
The gamification of the myPATH app keeps the momentum going, since the rewards are twofold, the personal health reward of staying hydrated (yay!), and earning Karma points. Old hydration apps feed us guilt on a loop, but the myPATH app provides rewards and encouragement to build the momentum you need to feel good about your hydration, with no guilt, only good feelings.
