It's called The Gem and there's an associated app with actionable guidance.
The90 A company called The90 just announced a piece of smart jewelry called The Gem that is designed to help women keep an eye on real-time UV exposure. The company was founded by Stacy Salvi, who spent eight years with Fitbit both before and after the Google acquisition in 2021.
The round necklace includes sensors that measure UVA and UVB rays. This data changes throughout the day as a person moves in and around sunlight. The Gem should provide a relatively accurate assessment of exposure, no matter if they are "walking outside" or "sitting near a sunny window."
