Thanks to an update, RingConn users will now get alerts about sun exposure and potentially harmful UV radiation. This may go a long way in helping reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Wearable Software

Even a "perfect" lifestyle is not completely immune to cancer. UV rays are the most significant risk factor in the development of almost all types of skin cancer. This risk factor can be prevented relatively easily and inexpensively by applying UV protection in the form of sunscreen or simply wearing long, protective clothing. In the worst case, there is always the shade, but even this does not offer complete protection against UV rays.

In everyday life, UV radiation and its associated risk factor for cancer are not always in the back of people's minds, which is where smart rings from RingConn are supposed to help. Specifically, software version 3.12.0 and firmware 02.017 introduces a new function that records the intensity of outdoor light, which allows for inferences about exposure to UV radiation. Of course, the ring itself cannot offer protection, but it can at least draw the wearer's attention to the risk factor.

The update also brings other changes. There's now a new "Trends" module in the Lifestyle overview and the ring can now also track additional activity types, including rowing. Improved stability and bug fixes are also advertised, although the manufacturer doesn't specify these.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
