Necklace-like gadget warns against excessive UV radiation

A new wearable device shaped like a necklace measures the user's sun exposure and provides personalised recommendations for sunscreen application. The device was created to help people prevent skin damage caused by sun radiation even in everyday, seemingly unexpected situations.

A new wearable technology solution in the form of a necklace helps users monitor their sun exposure and provides personalised alerts when it's time to reapply sunscreen.

Sun protection is important for skin health, but many people underestimate the impact of UV radiation, particularly in situations where sun exposure is not obvious, such as while driving, in shaded areas or in cloudy weather.

The new device was created precisely to fill this gap: it collects data about the user's actual radiation exposure and processes it to offer personalised recommendations. This way, the user no longer has to guess when it's the right time to reapply protective cream-the gadget makes that decision for them.
