Lighting technology presents significant advantages for the care and wellness of neurological patients. Within inpatient care settings for neurology, patients often experience limited exposure to natural daylight due to physical constraints or stages of recovery. Designers face the challenge of integrating tailored solutions for a patient demographic particularly sensitive to light and its intensity within their surroundings. This webinar will delve into the design strategies behind cycled white light, dim-to-warm, and tunable lighting technologies, exploring their potential circadian benefits in fostering healing within patient rooms. Attendees will explore opportunities for implementing these technologies across various clinical spaces sampling two different case studies.

A balanced circadian rhythm is essential for improved sleep quality, which in turn accelerates the healing process, especially in cases of brain trauma repair. Additionally, there are further technological prospects, such as comprehensive software integration within patient rooms, voice control functionality, and even breath-controlled features. Incorporating visual aids, such as graphics on lighting controls within patient rooms, enhances intuitiveness for both patients and staff. These controls are designed as cleanable surfaces and feature intuitive imagery to facilitate comprehension across diverse linguistic backgrounds, eliminating the necessity for English proficiency. Join us for an insightful discussion on design strategies, gleaned lessons, client expectations, and budget considerations.
