Australia has high levels of UV radiation, leading to an increased risk of skin cancer and eye diseases. One Australian is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Solutions include questionnaires for sun-safe behavior, UV-sensing wearable devices, and a desktop system to assess UV damage to eyes. Researchers are working on a mobile system using a UV light camera attached to a smartphone to measure UV damage to the eye. This innovation aims to incorporate UV damage assessment into routine skin cancer screening, potentially revolutionizing preventative healthcare through smartphone technology.
