1. A computerized system comprising:
at least one computer processor:
a user-interface configured to:
display a skin color selection, wherein the skin color selection comprises a plurality of skin pigments,
receive a user skin color selection,
display a skin cancer familial history input field,
receive a skin cancer familial history input value,
display a sun protection factor (SPF) input field, and
receive a SPF sunscreen input value selection for sunscreen being used;
a sun exposure monitoring application operating in the computer system configured to:
translate the skin color selection to a maxim sun exposure value, and
compute a maximum sun exposure time using the user skin color selection, the skin cancer familial history input value, and the SPF selection for a sunscreen being used,
monitor a sun exposure of the computer system,
implement an alert signal when the maximum sun exposure time is reached; and
an ultraviolet light sensor coupled with the computing system configured to:
periodically receive a UV value and translate the UV value to a computer readable UV value and communicate the computer readable UV value to the sun exposure monitoring application,
wherein the maximum sun exposure time (maxexposure) is calculated by the equation:
(maxexposure) by 1 times (*) to 13* an original value based on the skin color selection,
wherein the maximum sun exposure time is increased by multiplying SPF value selection for the sunscreen by a value of 1* to 10*,
wherein sun exposure monitoring application displays the current maxexposure and a current UV index,
wherein the maximum sun exposure time is calculated using a specific multiplication factor ranging from 1 to 13 applied to a base value determined by the user's skin color selection according to a predefined skin color table, and
wherein the skin cancer familial history input value is a weighted factor that reduces the maximum sun exposure time according to a predefined table of familial risk factors,
wherein the sun exposure monitoring application is configured to extend the maximum sun exposure time by a calculated amount based on the SPF value when the sunscreen has been reapplied, and to provide a new countdown alert for the extended maximum exposure time,
wherein the sun exposure monitoring application displays an explanation of a value of maximum sun exposure time (maxexposure), and
wherein the sun exposure monitoring application displays a reapply sunscreen alert after a specified period of time wherein the sun exposure monitoring application adds a specified time amount to the maxexposure value after the sun exposure monitoring application receives an indication the sunscreen has been reapplied.
