- Abstract
This article presents an innovative and creative approach to detect harmful level of Ultra Violet light on human skin. Different commercial UV sensors are evaluated for comparison. The comparison is made for performance, cost and dimension. The proposed affordable UV sensor solutions are presented using chemical and MEMS/MOEMS technologies. The UV dynamic sensor detects the harmful level of UV and informs the user about the eventual UV radiation risk. The proposed two solutions consider chemical material for UV detection and different actuation mechanism to inform the UV harmful level to the user. These sensors are non disposable and are packaged for visual monitoring (without battery) and acoustic operation (using a battery).
