"What we see is that many people use the temperatures and time to predict when they need sun protection, but it really is the ultraviolet (UV), there is a problem - and you can not see or feel, "said Sue Heward, SunSmart Eating in the Council of cancer.

To resolve this problem and reach young people who tend to be less severe with sunscreen, the council has developed a free application that provides daily weather forecasts, including the maximum levels of UV radiation.

It has an alarm function and uses global positioning systems (GPS) to automatically adapt to the user location, time indicates that sunscreen is necessary and a warning system and an automated UV guide placed at the minute to the intensity of UV.

"The nice thing is that the application is in your pocket, no need to go to a computer or open a paper check," Heward said, noting that this makes it particularly useful for people who work outdoors long periods of time, and are particularly vulnerable.

SunSmart app is available for free download. The Council has also developed a web widget UV Alert to organizations such as sports clubs.
