Patented UVSavior system: Personalized UV Exposure Monitor Device
I co-created UVSavior, a patented device designed to track cumulative ultraviolet exposure with remarkable precision. Unlike standard UV monitors, this patented system integrates multiple personal factors including SPF usage, skin tone, and genetic predispositions to deliver individualized risk assessments in real time.

The device was piloted at Lifetime Fitness in Garland, Texas. At science fairs ranging from district to state level, UVSavior received a 2nd place award at the 2022 Texas State Science & Engineering Fair. Judges and industry professionals alike noted its promise for broader adoption in the health and wellness market.
At the prototype stage, UVSavior was built with an Arduino-based system capable of computing cumulative UV exposure. It earned 1st place at the School Science Fair, 3rd place at the Dallas Regional Science & Engineering Fair, and 2nd place at the Texas State Science & Engineering Fair.
The prototype was further enhanced by the addition of integrated wireless connectivity and additional user-specific inputs such as hereditary skin cancer risk and SPF adjustments. This advanced version won 1st place at the School Science Fair and 3rd place at the Plano District Science Fair.
UVSavior received a patent for the system’s novel approach to cumulative UV exposure monitoring.
The success of UVSavior inspired me to expand into related areas of climate-responsive health technologies. I later developed a heat stress and WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) monitoring system, combining sensors, a visualization dashboard, and even an AI-powered chatbot to offer hydration and sun safety recommendations. This project also gained recognition, including awards at the Texas Junior Academy of Sciences.
Together, these efforts reflect my broader goal of harnessing computational tools and engineering innovation to address real-world health and safety challenges.
