Is there any way to get a hold of such a device? And if so is it possible for a layman to extract the UVA and UVB amount in a way that we can understand?
@Richard I’d love your help with our product. I hope you’d have some interest. If so, please shoot me a note at Brian.Matthys@eclipserx.com. Thanks for considering!
Thanks for this timely info. With our smart band for Apple Watch, we are going to give people useable information, not UVA, UVB. Our product is at eclipseRx.com… Initial language will be about keeping peoples skin beautiful with limiting their TruSun® exposure. The health benefits are immense. Unfortunately, people spend more money keeping their skin beautiful. I would value any and all feedback! Thank you
Thanks guys. A few years ago I was involved developing a product for l’Oreal that eventually went out to market. It involved wearable patches that changed colour on exposure to uv radiation. The colour change was then measured with a smartphone app. I don’t think it caught on widely as it was a bit fiddly to use. We wrote up the the results in a 2018 Plos One paper led by Yungshou Shi at their San Francisco office.

Agreed, I think there would be a lot of interest
