OUR TECHNOLOGY
Interpreting the intensity of the sun is not easy because it’s too common to be surprised with a sunburn. If you use an Ultraviolet (UV) sensor, you can have more information about the sun’s intensity, but just knowing the UV number is not enough to manage your time in the sun.
Our team of bioengineers and software developers have a deep understanding of how UV works, and have transformed UV raw data into meaningful insights, interpreting the sun's intensity to each individual. Backed by multiple granted patents, our proprietary algorithms carefully measure the daily accumulative impact of UV exposure, matching to a person’s skin sensitivity as defined by the dermatology community. While our software technology is thoroughly based in biomedical research, our solutions can be effortlessly used by anyone.
