Method and systems for real time uv monitoring for tracking and maintaining required vitamin d dosage

A method for tracking and reporting estimated vitamin D dosage from direct exposure to sunlight, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor of a device, a plurality of data values derived from an acquired signal of a sensor having sensitivity to ultraviolet B intensity of sunlight;
• accumulating, by the processor, in a memory of the device, for a pre-defined period of time, the plurality of data values;
• determining, by the processor, a value of estimated Vitamin D dosage for the pre-defined period of time based on the accumulated data values associated with the pre-defined period of time;
• and
• presenting, via a display, upon direction of the processor, a graphical representation of a parameter value associated with estimated dosage value of Vitamin D or an estimated remaining amount value of Vitamin D dosage required, wherein the parameter value is derived from the estimated vitamin D dosage for the pre-defined period of time.

An apparatus for tracking and reporting estimated vitamin D dosage from direct exposure to sunlight, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive a plurality of data values derived from an acquired signal of a sensor having sensitivity to ultraviolet B radiation of sunlight;
• accumulate, for a pre-defined period of time, the plurality of data values;
• determine a value of estimated Vitamin D dosage for the pre-defined period of time based on the accumulated data values associated with the pre-defined period of time;
• and
• cause graphical representation of a parameter value associated with obtained dosage of Vitamin D from exposure to direct sunlight over the course of the pre-defined period of time, wherein the parameter value is derived from the estimated vitamin D dosage for the pre-defined period of time.
