ARM Microcontroller Based Portable Equipment For UV A&B Therapy

This paper deals with improved technique to cure skin diseases using UV A and UV B light. UV rays is equally essential as it is hazardous to humans. Deficiency of vitamin-D causes skin diseases due to insufficient UV exposure. UV A light and UV B light are used for treating skin diseases due to insufficient UV exposure. Equipment used for treating skin diseases consists of UV A light and UV-B light chambers separately. This is a tiresome process. To overcome this, we develop an equipment which consists of both UV A and UV B light. The proposed work provides portability and a single platform for both the lights and makes the treatment relatively simpler. Furthermore, we design the equipment so as to control the intensity and time duration of the light falling on the body. The results have proved that the timing and intensity of the light falling on the human body can be controlled according to our requirement and are accurate. The scope of this proposed work lies mainly in medical field.
