Wearable Uv/Hev Light Sensor And Smartphone Application For Personal Monitoring And Personalized Recommendations

Prolonged exposure even to suberythemal UV doses has many associated risk factors, including skin cancer and photo-aging. Recent studies also indicate that high-energy visible light (HEV) induces oxidative stress in the skin which is ultimately linked to visible signs such as pigmentation and aging. Personalized monitoring of UV/HEV radiation is necessary for recommendations of personal sun-safe behaviors. Here, we demonstrate a wireless, battery-free, miniature, wearable UV/HEV sensor that can be mounted on t-shirt, sunglasses, wristband, shoes or necklace.
