1. U.V Sensor Wearable is a project that started in Park City High School’s PCCAPS Program (Park City Center
for Advanced Professional Studies). The project was commissioned by doctors from the dermatology
department at the University of Utah to help record UV data for patients prone to skin cancer caused by UV
rays. It has evolved significantly to become a consumer level product giving everyone the ability to monitor
their UV levels and make health conscious choices from that data.
UV SENSOR WEARABLE

2. PROBLEM
Ultraviolet Light is wavelength of light
produced by the sun; it is known to
cause cancer and damage skin cells.
Utah has the highest skin cancer rate
in the U.S due to UV Radiation
◎ U.V Radiation increases by 7%
per 1,000 ft. of elevation
◎ Snow reflects 80% of U.V
radiation, making
skiers/snowboarders 150% more
exposed to U.V radiation than
those at sea level.

3. SOLUTION:
Create a wearable device
capable of recording and
analyzing U.V exposure levels.
◎ Waterproof, wireless
wearable
◎ User friendly smartphone
app; provides alerts to
reapply sunscreen or for a
user to get out of the sun, so
they are not over exposed
to UV radiation.

examples of potential
wearable housings, 3D

4. TARGET MARKET:
◎ Both Male and Female
◎ Residents of Utah and other
areas of high U.V. overexposure
risk
◎ People who spend significant
time outdoors (Skiers, hikers,
bikers, and participants of other
outdoor activities)
◎ People with a family history of
skin cancer, caused by UV
overexposure.

5. PROTOTYPE:
This is a functioning prototype of the sensor, including
bluetooth wireless technology and lithium ion batteries
allowing it to operate without being connected to a
computer or power source. It is capable of recording
UV data and wirelessly transmitting it
This potential housing was 3D modeled, by Victoria
Olsen (Park City High School Student). This is one of
many potential designs, the final design will be
chosen through surveys and the most popular will
be used. This design will then be distributed in a
number of sizes, to suit all customers.
