그 이름은 The Gem이며, 실용적인 가이드를 제공하는 전용 앱이 함께 제공됩니다.

A company called The90 just announced a piece of smart jewelry called The Gem that is designed to help women keep an eye on real-time UV exposure. The company was founded by Stacy Salvi, who spent eight years with Fitbit both before and after the 2021년 구글 인수.

The round necklace includes sensors that measure UVA and UVB rays. This data changes throughout the day as a person moves in and around sunlight. The Gem should provide a relatively accurate assessment of exposure, no matter if they are “walking outside” or “sitting near a sunny window.”

This data is sent to an app which creates a personalized skin profile. The profile will provide actionable advice regarding personal UV thresholds, sunscreen reminders and sunlight exposure windows. Those UV rays are no joke, 특히 요즘처럼, so this type of thing could certainly come in handy during the summer months and beyond.

The company is calling this a new category of wearable and, well, that’s technically true. There are plenty of UV sensors out there, from Shade와 같은 스타트업 to known entities L’Oreal과 같은 기업. However, those aren’t pendant necklaces. This one’s a pendant necklace.

The Gem is 현재 회사 웹사이트에서 직접 구매 가능하며, 최종 가격은 $300이 될 예정입니다. 다만, 초기 구매자는 한정된 기간 동안 $200에 구매할 수 있습니다.
