Keratosis, Actinic
Conditions
Brief summary
To validate the use of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation sensor in patients with actinic keratosis, to identify barriers to its use in prospective longitudinal studies.
Detailed description
To prevent both acute and chronic damage from exposure to UV A and UV B radiation. Personal UV exposure can be assessed by portable sensors. Having an accurate awareness of one's own behavior (assessed by the accuracy of the UV sensor), can motivate and engage with skin protection.
