Summary
This paper discusses the effects of biodynamic lighting in elderly homes, focusing on the non-visual effects of light and how it can improve the health and well-being of the elderly.
Categories
Dementia: The paper discusses the potential benefits of biodynamic lighting for elderly people with neurological diseases, which could include dementia.
Aging: The paper focuses on the effects of biodynamic lighting in elderly homes, making it relevant to the category of aging.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and implementation of biodynamic lighting systems in elderly homes, making it relevant to the category of lighting design considerations.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential benefits of biodynamic lighting for the general well-being of elderly people, making it relevant to the category of well-being.
