OverSun

Inspiration

We found the need to solve a global problem that is associated with skin problems and its effects on a large number of population. The cases of skin cancer are increasing and it is really concerning how people are still unbothered by the topic. Our product is a simple and fast way to protect and allert people.

What it does

Portable electronic device for monitoring UV rays that transmits an alert taking into account the amount of time of sun exposure. The UV radiation hits the device which, after a certain amount of time when the intensity of the radiation is harmful, sends a message to the cell phone through the Bluetooth module and in the case of no signal it emits an audible signal.

How it was built

We used Proteus to design the components and establish the connections between them. Using a CNC we produced our board with the printed circuits and then the components were assembled accordingly.

Challenges we ran into

Try to obtain the final product with the ideal characteristics. Find Low Energy Components.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Fourth edition Hackathon Mundo Biomédico

What we learned

We gained a new perspective and experience in terms of entrepreneurship, as well as group work and cooperation between every member. We learned more about the problems associated with the skin and the technologies used to solve them.

What's next for OverSun

We will search for new partners and investors to move forward in the project, so that we can get the product completed and placed on the market as quickly as possible.
