Chronobioengineering indoor lighting to enhance facilities for ageing and Alzheimer's disorder
Summary:
This paper discusses the use of light cycles to synchronize circadian rhythms and ways human health and wellbeing can be enhanced through light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in the ageing population, specifically those with dementia of Alzheimer’s type.
Categories
- Dementia: The paper discusses the use of light cycles to alleviate symptoms of dementia in the ageing population.
- Alzheimer's disease: The paper focuses on enhancing the wellbeing of individuals with Alzheimer's disease through the use of LED lighting.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light cycles on cognitive function and memory, particularly in relation to dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
- Aging: The paper focuses on the ageing population, particularly those with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and how light cycles can enhance their wellbeing.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design of lighting systems, specifically LED lighting, to synchronize circadian rhythms and enhance human health and wellbeing.
- Well-being: The paper discusses the enhancement of human health and wellbeing through the use of light cycles and LED lighting.
