Summary
This paper describes a wireless ambient lighting assistance system that uses circadian rhythm principles and colored light to create personalized, health-supportive environments. The system includes sensor-driven event responses, user-configurable lighting scenes via Android and web apps, and a backend server/database — providing a practical infrastructure for deploying evidence-based circadian lighting in care settings.
