Abstract
In this contribution we report about SiC based UV photodiodes as the core component of smart UV sensors for various medical applications. In dialysis machines the transparency of urea is monitored by a SiC UV photodiode based UV transmission measurement module. A photodiode combined with an optical filter which reproduces the erythermal action spectrum helps Lupus patients to monitor their daily dose of solar UV radiation. sglux UVC sensor “UV-Safester” is a smartphone based tool to detect harmful UV radiation at a workplace employing the ICNIRP regulation. A wireless UV sensor module monitors the UV disinfection applied by disinfection robots in operating rooms.
