Summary
This pilot study evaluated the installation of a biodynamic (human-centric) lighting system at the TGM Retirement Home in Beroun, assessing its practical effectiveness for elderly residents. Such systems dynamically adjust light intensity and color temperature throughout the day to support circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing in care home environments.
