The Skin Protection Assistant is a medical device with the purpose of reducing the rate of skin conditions caused from the overexposure of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. This device is designed to accurately report the UV index and alert the user to reapply sunscreen after two hours of sun exposure. The device will also project text onto an LCD screen with specific protective measures depending on the UV index that the user can carry out.
The main reason behind the creation of this medical device is due to the fact that overexposure to UV rays can be fatal and that the general public is not aware of how to protect themselves from the different intensities of UV radiation. This device aims to help users monitor and protect themselves from the consequences of overexposure to UV radiation.
