In addition to protective creams, you can use smartphones to limit skin damage caused by exposure to UV rays
Going to the beach means above all protecting your skin from the sun’s rays which, as we know, can have serious consequences. They can, for example, cause tumors to the epidermis. The first thing to do is not to forget to bring to the beach a good protective cream. And not only. A help could come from smartphones.
On the digital market you can find, in fact, many applications that in a very simple way can be used to limit the damage of ultraviolet rays on the skin. They work in much the same way. The purpose of these apps is to give advice, even personalized, on when and for how long you can expose yourself to the sun. But that’s not all. There are also many hi-tech gadgets that, always integrating with mobile devices, are able to provide valuable warnings to reduce the dangerous effects of sunlight. Here, too, the choice is very wide.
Raymio app and Raymio band
Raymio is an app, available for both Android and iOS, that lets you know how long you can stay in the sun before UV rays damage your skin. The app also provides a number of features that allow you to set up a personalized schedule. You can, for example, enter your epidermis type. Raymio can also be used to know when it is advisable to spread sunscreen. And much more. In addition to the application, the company also provides a smart bracelet that indicates, through an LED, when it is necessary to shelter from the sun.
Violet
Another “winning” combination is that between the free application and the wearable Violet. It’s a small sensor that, combined with the app, offers a number of precise features. Violet tracks the sun and warns the user how long they can expose their skin to ultraviolet rays. The wearable device also calculates these parameters based on the intensity of the sun. And that’s not all. Violet is also useful for measuring the amount of Vitamin D obtained. The device works both connecting via Bluetooh with the smartphone and independently. In the latter case, once the maximum time of exposure to the rays has passed, the sensor will emit a light.
Rooti CliMate
Rooti CliMate is a similar accessory to the previous one and works largely in the same way. It integrates via Bluetooth with your smartphone and pairs with its app. The small cloud-shaped device provides a number of indications about the sun, maximum time of UV exposure and even weather conditions. It alerts users, for example, when a heat wave is coming. Rooti CliMate can be used on both Android and iOS.
SunZapp
SunZapp is a simple app compared to previous systems, but still very useful. The app, in fact, based on some information, such as geographical location, skin type, weather forecast, alerts users, through sending alerts, when it is necessary to get away from the sun or use a protective cream. In addition, SunZapp also gives the possibility to upload data from different people. A useful feature especially for families.
