L`Oreal company together with designer Ives Bechar presented wearable ultraviolet radiation sensor, which can be used to measure the level of exposure to sunlight. According to the developers, the sensor will reduce the risk of skin cancer. The novelty was demonstrated at the CES in Las Vegas.
No battery is required to operate the device. The prototype diameter is 9 mm, the thickness is 2 mm. The device is easily attached to the nail.
