UVBuddy - An App for Skin Cancer Awareness
The Project
Our app, UVBuddy, notifies and tracks sunscreen usage for users. By monitoring their location and sunscreen brand, the app can determine the weather and calculate a unique reapplication time for each user. This data is derived from the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)'s recommendation of a 2-hour reapplication interval for sunscreen. It is adjusted based on the ultraviolet level at the user's location and the strength of their sunscreen (SPF level and brand). This information is presented as a timer within the app and sends notifications to the user's iOS device via rings, banners, and a home screen message, ensuring that the notification is not missed and allowing the user to reapply their sunscreen to protect their skin's safety.
