Eye Health

2 hours of outdoor light daily helps protect against myopia progression.

Better Sleep

Regulates healthy sleep patterns and circadian rhythms.

Mental Wellbeing

Supports mood, reduces stress, improves focus.

How It Works

How illumable Solves It

Kids Love It

Daily tracking and streak building help children form consistent outdoor time habits. Behavioral patterns develop gradually through visible progress. When habits form naturally over time, outdoor time becomes automatic.

What Kids Experience:

  • Month view with daily outdoor time tracked
  • Streak counter prominently displayed
  • Simple color coding (outdoor time achieved = filled, missed = empty)

Got Questions?

Common Questions

Will my child actually use it?
The app is designed for quick check-ins. Kids see their creature evolve and want to check progress. The wearable is non-invasive: small, lightweight, clips to clothing. Tracks automatically during outdoor time without getting in the way of sports, play, or school.
How accurate is the tracking?
Free app: phone sensor (great for patterns). The illumable wearable: clinical-grade sensor (precise lux levels, same technology used in research).
Does it work on cloudy days?
Yes! Even cloudy outdoor light is 10-20x brighter than indoors.
What if we don't hit 2 hours every day?
illumable shows weekly patterns. It's about sustainable habits, not perfection.
My child doesn't have vision concerns. Is this still relevant?
Absolutely. illumable is designed to empower families to know and provide enough outdoor time for children's overall wellbeing - better mood, sleep, focus, and physical health. Eye health is an important part of that bigger picture, not the only reason to track.
How does outdoor time support eye health?
Bright outdoor light (10,000+ lux) triggers healthy eye development and can help slow myopia progression. Indoor light (~500 lux) doesn't provide the same benefit.
Can I share data with healthcare providers?
Yes. Generate reports showing outdoor light patterns over time.
Can I track multiple children?
Not yet - but multi-child tracking is coming in an upcoming update. For now, each account tracks one child.
Is my child's data private?
Absolutely. Encrypted and never sold.
