According to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3.5 million cases of skin cancer emerge in the United States each year. A new technology may better the plight of many people to stay safe from bad effects of the sun on your skin.

JUNE, a new device, could be worn as a bracelet or a brooch. JUNE contains UV sensors to keep a watch on sun exposure throughout the day. A free iOS app is required for JUNE to function and provide a daily sun forecast. The device helps you get details of the expected UV index and whether or not you require to pack sunscreen, sunglasses or a hat.

UV index helps you know the expected risk of UV radiation from the sun on a scale from 0 to sun-scorched 15.

JUNE has been created by blending newer tracking technology with sun protection, and many competitors want to climb aboard the bandwagon of the device. For example, Violet is a new wearable in production. Sources have revealed that it's a small, waterproof clip-on tracker being designed to offer real-time UV exposure as well as alerts about potential skin damage. It is also capable of calculating daily natural vitamin D production.

However, it's a real challenge to get people to use those devices.

"We confuse education with inspiration. We think reminding you to use sunscreen, cover up, and educating you as to why it's a good idea is enough, but most of the time, that's not the case", said Dr. Joseph Kevdar, an associate professor of dermatology at Harvard University Medical School.
