3. Sunflow ACCOMPANIES:
3.1 When you are exposed to the sun you can start tracking from the time you started sun exposure until the time you finish. Sunflow will link the time of sun exposure with the UV Index of the mapped exposure. With this, you can have this data in the Health app and thus know how long you are exposing yourself, being an alert to take more care and eventually prevent yourself further.

3.1.1. **Integration with Health App:** The app saves all data from an exposure "session" in Apple Health, allowing you to share sun exposure data with family members via Apples Health Sharing.

3.2 When you are exposed to the sun and the app identifies that more than three hours have passed, with a notification system, Sunflow will remind you to reapply sunscreen to be more effectively protected, as sunscreen tends to lose its effectiveness after three hours of application. It is worth noting that every time you bathe or sweat, you must also reapply the sunscreen while your skin is dry.
