Summary
This paper discusses the importance of lighting design in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), focusing on the development of a simulation tool to predict the visual and non-visual effects of lighting decisions within a design workflow.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the development of a simulation tool to predict the visual and non-visual effects of lighting decisions within a design workflow, specifically in the context of Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
Education and learning: The paper educates on the importance of lighting design in healthcare settings, particularly NICUs, and how it can influence the health and development of premature babies.
Patient recovery and healing: The paper discusses how circadian light regimes in NICUs can positively influence a baby's brain and eye development, and metabolic body functions, thereby aiding in their recovery and healing.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light-sensing opsins within the retina interact with genes oscillating to circadian rhythms, which can impact health, vision, and circadian rhythms, thereby influencing cognitive function.
