Sun Index .

Unplug. Yes, that's right. You'll do your best thinking if you catch up on sleep and leave the phone in the other room. If you need help with your digital detox, you can download an app like Freedom that limits your screen time. According to the American Sleep Association, adults still need 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night to be most productive. Be sure to put down those devices, catch some shut-eye, and enjoy the beach this summer. (But if you're worried about getting burned, you can always wear a device like QSun that tracks your Vitamin D and sun exposure.)

Looking a lot like a Misfit Shine 2, the clip-on QSun is able to detect UV exposure using its five LED display to indicate UV index. Once you give it a shake, it'll let you know your UV index. That's your measurement of how powerful ultraviolet radiation beaming from the sun is.
The iOS and Android-friendly wearable keeps track of how long you have been out in the sun before you start to burn. When your time is up, it'll vibrate to let you know that you should go get in the shade. The QSun's AI takes skin type into consideration, as well, to help determine the time that should be spent out.

The warmish weather is finally here and Toronto is chomping at the bit for some of that sweet, sweet sunshine.
It was a long, cold winter that led us to this point and it'll likely take many days of basking to fully get over the trauma — but, as restorative as they can be, our marathon park hangs and lazy beach days aren't without serious risk.
That "summer glow" you're sporting one hour can turn into a sunburn faster than it takes someone to collect your empty (or half-empty, if you're not l...

Sun is both your best friend and worst enemy when it comes to summer vacations so while tanning is definitely on the table, make sure you’re adequately protected unless you want to spend half of your trip treating sunburns. QSun can help manage your exposure to the brightest star in the sky so that you return from your vacation with some color in your face and no health issues to worry about.

A new wearable device that’s just hit Kickstarter promises to help you keep track of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, courtesy of some smart artificial intelligence technology. Called the QSun, the gadget not only aims to protect you from sun-induced skin damage, but also make sure that you’re still getting a healthy amount of vitamin D, which comes from sun exposure.
To do this, the clip-on QSun wearable uses advanced sensors to measure UV rays in real time and track your sun exposure. It then...

酷熱天氣持續，不只是氣溫，連紫外線指數都指續高企，怕曬黑曬傷的朋友，出外時務必做足防曬準備。其實現今科技發達，善用新科技都可以達致防曬效果。例如近日在 Kickstarter 眾籌的 QSun 防曬黑鈕扣，雖然集資價只是 79 加幣（約 HK$480）的便宜價錢，但 QSun 勝在設有偵測 UVA、UVB 紫外線指數等 4 大功能，減低因為猛烈陽光而讓肌膚受傷的情況。產品預計今年 7 月出貨。

The weather outside will soon be warming up, which means time to hit the beach and the park. While being out in the sun is fun, too much sun exposure is bad; one in five Americans get skin cancer at some point of their lives, after all.
Comfable's QSun, available on Kickstarter for $49, is designed to help people be safer in the sun. We've seen a rise in wearables focused specifically on UV index, especially in the form of temporary tattoos, but Comfable co-founder Neda Ghazi is hoping that Q...

Sunshine is wonderful, but you can have too much of a good thing. This device measures it.
In Australia, 2 out of 3 people develop skin cancer. In the US, 1 in 5; in Canada, 1 in 7. That's what happens with chain migration from Northern Europe to sunnier climes; light-skinned bodies take a long time to evolve natural protection. But we also need sun to produce Vitamin D; what's a body to do to get the right balance?
A few years ago we showed the QTemp, a little clip on device paired with an a...
