UVvaloon
UVvaloon is a term used in the fields of wearable technology and ultraviolet (UV) exposure management to describe a class of compact, flexible UV-monitoring devices. It is not a specific product but a concept that encompasses sensors, data processing, and user interfaces intended to help users manage sun exposure. The name combines the UV prefix with a balloon-like metaphor for a soft, adaptable form factor designed for comfortable wear on the body.
Design and technology typically include UV photodiodes or detectors sensitive to UVA and UVB, a microcontroller,
Functionality usually centers on real-time exposure measurement and dose calculation, often expressed in common dermatological metrics
Status and reception: UVvaloon has appeared primarily in design studies and speculative product literature. While the
