Many people underestimate their exposure to harmful UV rays, leading to sun damage and skin cancer risks. Create a wearable device that continuously monitors UV exposure. Pair it with a mobile app that alerts users when they've reached safe limits. Sell directly to health-conscious consumers. Charge a premium for the hardware and offer optional app subscriptions. Start with a simple wristband that tracks UV exposure and connects to a basic smartphone app. The biggest risk is competing with established fitness trackers. Focus on UV-specific features and accuracy.
