Wearable Tech: Your Personal Radiation Tracker
Tech Takes the Wheel: A Deep Dive into Personal Dosimetry In today's world, safety is paramount, especially when it comes to exposure to potentially harmful radiation. This is where personal dosimeters come in – compact devices that track and measure your cumulative radiation dose over time. But traditional dosimeters often feel clunky and outdated. Thankfully, technology has stepped up its game, introducing a new breed of smart personal dosimeters that are more accurate, user-friendly, and packed with features.
