Abstract: A mobile device includes one or more spectrometers, each with a plurality of spectral filters overlaying optical sensors, each of the one or more spectrometers having a sensing range within a predetermined range of optical wavelengths. Each of the one or more spectrometers is further positioned in the mobile device to capture light radiation incident to the mobile device and output information representative of captured light radiation to a processing module adapted to receive the output information and determine an accumulated light radiation for the mobile device. A notification engine is adapted to signal a user when the accumulated light radiation exceeds a predetermined threshold.
