Abstract
A system for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) exposure of a wearer. The system comprises a wearable device operable to sense UV radiation levels to which the wearer is exposed, and to transmit UV radiation information. The system further comprises an external computing device in remote communication with the wearable device, operable to receive the UV radiation information from the wearable device and configured to determine the wearer's real-time UV index value and the wearer's daily cumulative percentage of minimal erythema dose based upon the UV radiation information.
Claims20
A method of monitoring ultraviolet (“UV”) exposure, comprising:
- detecting, via a radiation sensor, UV radiation,
- generating UV radiation information based on the detected UV radiation;
- correcting the UV radiation information for radiation noise;
- determining a real-time UV index value of an individual based upon the UV radiation information;
- and
- providing an indication to the individual, based on the real-time UV index value of the individual, to apply or reapply sunscreen.
A method of monitoring ultraviolet (“UV”) exposure, comprising:
- (a) detecting, via a radiation sensor, UV radiation;
- (b) generate UV radiation information based on the UV radiation detected in step (a)
- (c) filtering the UV radiation information;
- (d) determining a percent of minimal erythema dose based on the adjusted UV radiation information, wherein the percent of minimal erythema dose is further based on a skin type factor and a sun protection factor associated with an individual;
- (e) periodically repeating steps (a)-(d) to obtain an updated percent of minimal erythema dose.
