Summary
This paper discusses the impact of Human Centric Lighting (HCL) on patient recovery in a hospital setting, using a simulation-based approach to assess lighting conditions in a tropical hospital ward.
Categories
Patient recovery and healing: The paper discusses how good quality lighting in a healing environment can enhance patients' circadian rhythm, leading to improved health and reduced vulnerability to complications.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of lighting in synchronizing the internal body clock, which can have implications for cognitive function.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of lighting in regulating circadian rhythms, which can impact sleep patterns.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design of healthcare lighting, including the use of simulation tools to assess lighting conditions in a hospital ward.
Well-being: The paper discusses the role of lighting in enhancing the health, well-being and comfort of hospital patients.
