A Real-time, Cost-effective, Accurate UV Measurement and Sun Protection System to Prevent and Reduce the Incidence of Sunburn in High-risk Consumers
The goal is to prevent ultraviolet light (UV) overexposure by providing consumers with
relevant, easy-to-access, specifically actionable information. This research proposal will
develop a UV protection system consisting of an automated real-time counseling framework and
a personal dosimeter that overcomes barriers to consumer adoption. These new, wearable
sensors take the form of small (< 1 cm), thin (<0.1 mm), lightweight (<0.1 g), battery-free
"stickers" that are fundamentally differentiated from other wearable electronics in their
modes of use, cost structures and accuracy.

The proposed work is to refine and validate a UV protection system based on a dosimeter
"sticker." The key innovations of the system are automated personalized intervention
messaging triggered by the exposure levels measured by a novel charge accumulation device
applied to ultraminiaturized circuit forms. The research will validate the system's accuracy
and acceptability to users, refine the device, and prove its robustness and efficacy in real
world use cases. Successful completion of the research will yield a system to prevent
excessive UV exposure and sunburn, thus reducing the incidence of skin cancer by equipping
large numbers of general-population consumers and at-risk people to practice
digitally-informed healthy sun behavior.
