Technology for good
UVLens is made by ElementX, a small team in New Zealand, where UV levels are among the highest in the world.
ElementX was formed after winning the New Zealand national finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup with a sun exposure management app. That app became UVLens.
Since then, the team has built tools and educational content to help people understand UV and sun safety. In a partnership with Banana Boat, over 100 UV sensors were installed around New Zealand to help protect preschool children from the sun.
ElementX believes in using technology for good, having fun, and giving back to the community through internships and sponsorship of student projects and activities.
